His wife later realised that, despite his complete and utter confidence in his abilities as a researcher, this wasn't actually sufficient and according to Roberts "did extensive Internet searches over the next few days and eventually tracked down the UK Home Office".<sup id="cite_ref-high-court-australia_50-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-high-court-australia-50">[48]</a></sup> On the 10 September 2016 he then sent an annoyed email to the Home Office, accusing them of ignoring his previous two emails and asking for clarification whether he had any claim to British citizenship. This time the email address was to the actual Home Office, who replied and advised that in fact he probably was a British citizen and provided a form to renounce his citizenship, which he did. </p><p>In his own defence, then-Senator Roberts stated that: </p> <blockquote class="letter" style="width:auto; background:#f8f8ff; border:1px solid #C9C9CF;"> <p>"Had the Australian-based British authorities I initially emailed (twice) responded to my enquiry in the same way as the UK Home Office eventually did or at all, namely, by informing me of the RN form, I would have completed that form and sent it prior to nominating.

This evidence is the clearest statement of the basis for Senator Roberts' claim that he was not a British citizen at the date of his nomination. Several points may be made here. First, Senator Roberts equates feelings of Australian self-identification with citizenship, and so confuses notions of how a person sees oneself with an understanding of how one's national community sees an individual who claims to be legally entitled to be accepted as a member of that community. The extent to which Senator Roberts' subjective beliefs and objective reality diverge became apparent when Senator Roberts, pressed by Mr Lloyd SC as to whether "believing that you are an Australian citizen by reason of what is said amongst family members is actually the test for Australian citizenship", answered: "Knowing my father I certainly do." ... As I have said, I am not persuaded that Senator Roberts was not sincere in his tenacious advocacy of the position to which he committed himself by signing his nomination to the Senate on 3 June 2016; but the difficulties in his position to which I have referred test credulity too far to accept his evidence that he was confident that he was not a British citizen at the date of his nomination.<sup id="cite_ref-high-court-australia_50-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-high-court-australia-50">[48]</a></sup> </p> </blockquote> <p>This is the judicial equivalent of "you are a deluded fool, I find judgement against you". </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="External_links">External links</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Malcolm_Roberts&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: External links">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <ul><li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.climate.conscious.com.au/">Climate Conscious — The Work of Malcolm Roberts</a> (personal website)</li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.galileomovement.com.au/">Galileo Movement</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.onenation.com.au/team/malcolmroberts">Malcolm Roberts (Qld)</a> (official <a href="/wiki/One_Nation" title="One Nation">One Nation</a> party page)</li></ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Notes">Notes</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Malcolm_Roberts&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Notes">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <div class="references-small" style="font-size:90%;"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-2"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-2">↑</a></span> <span class="reference-text">This is "clarified" at <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.climate.conscious.com.au/images/ccc.png">the very bottom of the page</a> to mean: "To <b>care</b>, understand the <b>core</b> then apply a <b>cure</b>."
