Funny, that.

Robert Jovicic has declined to believe the Federal government of Australia, when they informed him that they would graciously allow him to stay in the only country he knows (not officially, of course, they just promised to ignore him) if, and only if, he declares allegiance to a foreign nation and thereby nullify his claim to Australian citizenship. If, in other words, he resolves his current statelessness by applying for citizenship of whatever country he is told to, even if that statelessness embarrassment value for the government is the only thing keeping him from freezing to death in a city where he doesn't even speak the language.

And he has good reason to fear relying on the government's goodwill.

Because our friendly Liberal Federal government has demonstrated time, and time, and time again, that they have no goodwill. Except for incompetent ex-Senators and multi-Billionaire robber barons, of course.

Bastards.
