Officials from Britain and India have strenuously denied that Malcolm Roberts was ever a citizen amid claims that both nations have been furiously burning old citizenship records.
“We do have some standards old chap,” commented UK Home Office representative Sir Carrington Poshington-Forbes. “We’re willing to claim ownership of Jack the Ripper and Nigel Farage but you have to draw the line somewhere.”
“Don’t be silly,” said Senator Roberts when asked if he’d ever been to either Britain or India. “You’d fall off the edge of the world.”
The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs in Delhi was unable to comment as the entire staff was busy burning all files marked ‘R’ in a huge bonfire.
The debate over Malcolm Roberts’ eligibility to stand for the senate follows closely the resignation of Matt Canavan from the Resources Ministry after it was revealed that his mother had appointed him to the board of directors of the Adani Group without his knowledge.

After getting past the headline it became obvious this is a tongue in cheek Fake News story. My understanding is that Fake News is OK as long as it is obviously fake. Just in case someone takes this seriously end with a HaHa Just Kidding or similar ending.
