The Hon. Tony Abbott, MP Prime Minister Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600

Dear Prime Minister Re: Eligibility conditions I have received an email from a Mr Tony Magrathea who asserts that you have yet to renounce your British citizenship. I enclose my response to Mr Magrathea. I make no claim that you are ineligible to sit in the House of Representatives, that your election was void, or that you have failed to renounce your British citizenship. I have seen no evidence that would satisfy me of any such claim(s). However, I also have no desire to continue to receive, and respond to, communications questioning your eligibility under section 44(i) of the Constitution. For that reason, I believe it would assist if you would provide Mr Magrathea with a copy of the declaration of renunciation that you received after renouncing your citizenship. Alternatively, it would assist if you would advise the date of your renunciation. Thank you, in advance, for considering this letter. Yours sincerely

Terri Butler MP Federal Member for Griffith Encl.
