Liberal MP Ann Sudmalis listed British nationality on 1966 passenger card
Sudmalis says British Home Office confirmed she never held citizenship but declines to comment on whether she was entitled to citizenship by descent
Fresh questions have been raised about the eligibility of federal Liberal MP Ann Sudmalis, following the discovery of an incoming passenger card from 1966, which she filled out when returning to Australia as a 10-year-old, listing her nationality as British.
Sudmalis has been under pressure to confirm her eligibility for parliament, given her mother, Valerie Pybus, was a British immigrant.
Last week Sudmalis issued a statement saying the British Home Office had confirmed that she had never held British citizenship, but she has declined to release any documents.

She has also declined to answer questions about whether or not she was ever entitled to the rights of a British citizen by descent, via her mother.
