Isn't the minister for finance a Belgian dual citizen? He'll probs be next.
Belgian-born Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said he lost his Belgian citizenship as soon as he became an Australian citizen in 2000.

“Senator Cormann confirmed this fact again with Belgian authorities in Australia prior to nominating for pre-selection as a candidate for the Senate, to ensure he complied with the relevant requirements for election to the Senate under the Australian Constitution,” a spokeswoman said in a statement."
