Senator –- Sino-tor? –- Sam Dastyari today pulled the plug on his career and resigned to spend more time with his family and a billion Chinese. In some ways, the fall of the Dim Sam perfectly illustrates the political absurdity of the recent dual nationality parliamentary crisis. Many a member and senator have quit politics or been forced to recontest their seats, having to their unpleasant surprise discovered they hold citizenships of other countries, and thus falling foul of the “allegiance to a foreign power” disqualification in s 44 of the Constitution.
