Kate Young is an Australian national who has become a well-known public figure due to her appearances on television shows focusing on matters concerning national identity, citizenship and immigration. As a professionally developed author with more than twenty years experience in legal matters relating to the administration of immigration into Australia, Kate Young consistently raises issues concerning issues that have profound social and economic consequences for the people of Australia. The principal focus of her numerous articles is the issues of nationality, which she believes are inseparable. In these articles Kate Young contends that human beings should be regarded as individuals who enjoy their own individuality in their own terms without depending on the judgment of other people.
On the other hand, an individual who belongs to a specific country irrespective of its political affiliation or ethnicity, can only enjoy his or her national identity if they freely choose to identify as a member of that country irrespective of the consequences that might follow. It is in this approach that Kate Young differs from other writers who focus on issues such as migration, citizenship and dual citizenship. The arguments that are put forward by Kate Young in her articles go against the common notion held by many people that nationality is a matter of race and color. In fact, it is entirely a legal issue under the law of various countries that determines the legal identity of an individual.
The concept of dual citizenship was first considered by the famous lawyer Johnolic Bricker in the 19th century. Under this concept, an individual could hold both national and international citizenship simultaneously. Johnolic Bricker argued that individuals can enjoy the benefits of both national identities simultaneously provided that they did not interfere with each other in any manner.
