Ozzies: New citizens face test on 200 questions
 Migrants seeking citizenship will need a grasp of up to 200 questions about Australia under the proposed new nationality test - and to answer them in English.But the Liberal MP Petro Georgiou signalled last night that he would oppose the Government's legislation. "I'm concerned that the tightening of the requirements will create unreasonable barriers to the acquisition of citizenship and that it will prevent people who would make a wonderful contribution to Australia from becoming citizens," he said. The Prime Minister rushed out the broad details of the test yesterday in a move to wrest the spotlight from the new Opposition Leader, Kevin Rudd. The test will require answers to about 30 multiple-choice questions selected randomly from a secret list of 200 questions. Posted by: .com 2006-12-12 |
