One Nation Party senator-elect Heather Hill with her xenophobic and chauvinistic ideologies just found out she owes allegiance to the British government. Although lawmakers are not ready to hod the referendum necessary to change the constitution, they do favor replacing the existing section with a simple equipment that elected officials must be citizens of Australia.
