The federal government is standing by its decision not to allow court involvement in stripping terror suspects of their citizenship.
A parliamentary question time government brief leaked to The West Australian newspaper says the bill - which is due to go to parliament this sitting fortnight - would be made "toothless" if it required a court conviction rather than just a ministerial decision.
"We want to know where Labor stands because none of us should give succour to those who would take up arms against our soldiers or do the Australian people harm," the brief says.
