Australian Citizenship Discussion Paper:  Make Your Voice Heard !

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.
