Australia unveils new draft citizenship test

SYDNEY (AFP) - Migrants who want to become Australian citizens will have to be able to correctly identify the country’s prime minister and national flower, according to a new draft citizenship test released Sunday.

In a 40-page document outlining citizenship application procedures, the government has detailed the country’s history, political institutions and what it terms national values.

These include freedom of speech, religion and association, gender equality, and tolerance and compassion.

To gain Australian citizenship, migrants must respond correctly to 12 out of a possible 20 questions, drawn from a bank of 200.

Candidates could be asked to give the year of European settlement, name the colours on the flag or write down the first line of the national anthem.
