It would be stupid of him to have a bad Attitude towards Australia because other Countries won't allow duel citizenship ?

He has been influential in politics (through publishing) in the US, the UK and Australia. Dual citizenship or not, that doesn't really change anything.
It was Australia that didn't allow dual citizenship at the time he sought US Citizenship.

So do you still support his interference in Australian politics?
I hope a lot of cafes are following the one in the OP.
Yes, his reporters have the right of free speech same as you and I but unfortunately for the LP all the positive views are pointed towards the NLP. I have said previously if RM's papers supported the LP KR would be lapping it up and the NLP would be complaining.
That's life and KR and his party just have to deal with it.
There are many big businesses who could be accused of interfering in politics for both sides the only difference is the papers have a bigger audience.
The cafe will not do itself any favours and should stay neutral, they have their business to think of and some would be NLP voters may take offense and go to the next coffee shop, a lost customer is hard to get back.

The Cafe doesn't have this free speech you speak of ...because it is a business ?
Media = Business

I've got dual nationality: born in England, with an Australian mother. If I wanted to stand for election in Australia (certainly for Federal Parliament), I would have to renounce my British/European citizenship. That would mean that I could no longer travel to the UK or Europe because I can't get a visa if I have a right to a UK/Euro passport.
