Just another way of trying to be like America and introducing more red tape into a system that worked fine before.
Most Aussies know jack shit about their own country, so who's to say that someone who's just come from another god damn country is going to know the stuff?
I feel ashamed and angry at the government, previous and present for going ahead with the test, since lots of actual Aussies too can't bloody answer it! Could Rudd? Hmm....
My dad's proud to be part of Australia without any test, and wouldn't leave for anything. He's been doing great without watching cricket for his 38 years here. Cheers!
It is not called "The Citizenship Test" it is called the "Howard Test" and like Howard it should be scrapped!
The only test newcomers should sit for is to watch "The Sundowners" and if they feel passionate about the values of this movie then give them a Citizenship.
We don't need American values or Political Correctness! This shows how much Howard sucked up to Bush.
What a joke. I am ashamed of my government making aspiring citizens sit through such a meaningless, condescending and idiotic test. What a total waste of our tax dollars. I want my money back! I want a real government back!!
heres a question...what if an american wanted to..uh...become australian, i meen our countries share alot of the same values, least in theory. except we might wanna escape bush. what then?
The test is riddled with errors and assumptions. The Constitution recognises two levels of Government - State and Federal - yet the answer given is three. The Prime Minister earlier in his career fought to prevent the inclusion of Local Government.
CITIZENSHIP TEST IS POINTLESS

Q: Are you a black African?
If you answered "yes" to the above then you've automatically qualified for free accomodation at one of our saloubrious detention centres.
