Turnbull Government cabinet minister Michael Keenan has rubbished a media report questioning whether he may be a UK dual citizen. 

"I renounced my citizenship in 2004 before entering Parliament," Mr Keenan wrote on Twitter just after 6am on Thursday.  

"I am an Australian citizen and I do not hold citizenship of any other country. Fairfax is aware of this, yet in a cheap grab for a headline they have ignored this. I have to wonder why they’re not pursuing Labor with such vigour," he wrote.
