(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.

Our astonishing Convict Ancestors suffered slavery, murder and injustice. Aussies don’t demean themselves as victims, but dwell proudly on the building, and defending in WW2, of our great Australian Nation. It is a unique and powerful heritage and an iconic symbol for any true Aussie.
