"Queensland Federal MP Bob Katter dismissed Senator Canavan's claim he did not know about the dual citizenship.
"If you're telling me someone was made a citizen of another country without your knowledge, you'd be seriously testing my intelligence. I mean, give me a break!" Mr Katter said.
"Ignorance of the law has never been an excuse and I don't think that any jury or court in Australia — or the public — would be so gullible to believe you could be unaware you'd been made a citizen of another country.
"There is no jury or court that would be that gullible to believe that. They might be prejudiced to make that decision, but not gullible enough to believe that his mummy made him a citizen of Italy without him knowing."
