1. I had never heard that he was knighted. This [1] specifically denies that he was ever made a knight.
2. Did he ever renounce his Australian citizenship? Not that I am aware of. His AO award would not have been honorary unless he was no longer an Australian citizen. I've made the necessary changes. JackofOz 00:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps Australian nationality law#History of Australian citizenship offers an answer?
Williamson moved to the UK in 1950 so it's quite possible he was caught by this 7 year rule and his Australian citizenship lapsed. Timrollpickering ( talk) 17:14, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
This keeps on intriguing me. If he had ceased to be an Australian citizen by the time of his Order of Australia, the question then becomes: what country was he a citizen of? I can't imagine it would have been any country other than the UK, since he lived there and was MQM. It's stated wherever you look that he was first non-British MQM; but it seems that he must have rectified that at some stage. I don't know enough about Australian and UK citizenship laws, but many people have dual citizenship. If he felt it necessary to adopt UK citizenship, I really wonder why dual citizenship could not have been arranged, rather than abandoning Australian citizenship altogether. And why is his abandonment of his Australian citizenship not mentioned anywhere? -- JackofOz ( talk) 01:11, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Can someone go through and remove all that stuff about him being "extraordinarily gifted" and about his works having "astonishing imagination" and works having "(inexplicably) never been performed"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.169.5 ( talk) 09:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
It's "sheer length" is less of an issue now. I've transferred the complete list of works to a new article, leaving only the Royal and Australian works here. -- JackofOz ( talk) 20:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
