Instead, I’ll quote Petro Georgiou, Liberal Member for Kooyong, from yesterday’s Crikey:

What I have seen of the content and operation of the new citizenship test confirms the fears I expressed before it was introduced — it’s an unreasonable and unfair barrier for prospective citizens. The number of people applying has plummeted to lower levels than we’ve had for a decade, which indicates that its impact has been social exclusion rather than inclusion. I am pleased the review committee’s terms of reference are broad and the members known to me — Richard Woolcott, Paula Masselos and Professor Kim Rubinstein — are of high calibre. At the very least, I anticipate the committee will pinpoint the harshest and most arbitrary features that need to be changed, and recommend more assistance for those most seriously disadvantaged by the new regime. I would like to see the restoration of the previous test, which served us well for decades and was scrapped without sound reasons.

There’s an interesting list!

So many things to drop to make our lives easier.

Really, if someone can’t make the effort to pass that test then why let them in? On one hand it’s supposedly massively easy and basic, and on the other hand people are “scared” of it. Weird.

Sounds like a tofu eating, pot smoking, dole bludging, limp wristed, daisy chained leftist beat up to me!

Oh, I just described myself. Is there an authority I can hand myself into?
