The government will introduce laws into parliament this week which will give courts the power to strip dual nationals of their Australian citizenship if convicted of terrorism offences.

The bill is expected to pass through both the house and the Senate before parliament adjourns for the final time this year. The Coalition supports the bill but a war of words has erupted between the government and opposition on the home affairs front after a high court ruling found indefinite detention to be unconstitutional.
