Citizenship: Make Your Voice Heard

From JimBall

(11Oct 06) The Federal Government is inviting submissions from individuals & organizations on the merits of introducing a formal citizenship test, including seeking a commitment to Australian values. Comments are particularly sought on four key questions.
- Should Australia introduce a formal citizenship test?
- How important is knowledge of Australia for Australian citizenship?
- What level of English is required to participate as an Australian citizen?
- How important is a demonstrated commitment to Australia 's way of life and values for those intending to settle permanently in Australia or spend a significant period of time in Australia ?

The Australian Government encourages submissions from individuals. These submissions will be considered in the formation of future policy.
