Citizenship Test: Are You Aligned With Australian Values?

I’m always happy to pass on great info... and this is great info! I’ve included a few snippets below lifted from the full article. 

The Prime Minister this week called upon all new aspiring new citizens to "join us as Australian patriots", as he spruiked his changes to citizenship laws. We are told these changes, which include better aligning the citizenship test with "Australian values", will strengthen the current system.

We are going to have to take the Prime Minister's word for that – because the government won't release any of the public submissions made to the consultation process on the changes. Which is unfortunate, because taking a politician at his word is one of the least Australian acts imaginable, somewhere on the scale between serving sausages without tomato sauce and punching a wallaby.

Australian values seems to be in the vibe of the thing (to borrow a line from an iconic Australian movie), and there seems to be a general rule that the number of times a person invokes Australian values is directly proportional to their level of what I would loosely call Australian crazy.

The United Patriots Front – an Australian far-right white nationalist group whose leader, Blair Cottrell, looks like a hybrid of Ginger Meggs and a Besser block – claims to be a great keeper of Australian values.
