A whopping three-quarters of voters support a controversial proposal to strip the citizenship of sole Australian nationals who take part in terrorist activities, if they able to obtain the citizenship of another country.

The proposal to strip sole nationals of their passports, floated by Prime Minister Tony Abbott and backed by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton in May, was put on the backburner after an extraordinary cabinet leak revealed six ministers had concerns about the move.

The proposal is now being canvassed as part of a citizenship discussion paper being steered by senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells and veteran MP Philip Ruddock.
