Prime Minister Tony Abbott insists proposed new laws to strip dual national terrorism suspects of their citizenship will be constitutionally sound. After getting legal advice from numerous sources, Mr Abbott says he's confident the legislation will minimise the risks of a High Court legal challenge. While the details of the laws have yet to be released, they have been criticised for potentially breaching the separation of powers between ministers and courts, and not providing enough legal checks and balances. The laws will be introduced into federal parliament next week
