Last week, Greens senator and co-deputy leader Scott Ludlam announced his shock resignation from the Senate after finding out he's a dual citizen. Today, his fellow co-deputy, Larissa Waters, announced precisely the same thing. On Twitter, people had one question: what the fuck?
1.
*whispers* Larissa Waters was born in Canada...
2.
To lose one deputy leader may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness
3.
i think larissa waters' announcement is going to be that everythings fine. thats my gut feeling
4.
Oh shit, I know what Larissa Waters is going to announce
5.
Look I understand the greens don't want borders but this is a bit ridiculous
6.
The lesson here is always read the terms and conditions #auspol

GOOD: soulless lizard people holding govt for decades BAD: holding citizenship in a country you haven't been to since you were 11 months old
8.
I regret to inform you all that I was born in Wollongong

First thing Larissa Waters did was apologise. She IS Canadian! #auspol
14. The lesson we can all learn from this? Never tweet.
I was born in Canada, no one tells me to go back to where I came from. Funny that. https://t.co/e52ttZduW5
