Cherry-picking potential new citizens?
Strict immigration laws compared to the rest of the world?...
I bet they have dramitically increased amounts of illegal immigrants and have shortages in labour intensive jobs such as cleaners?
I feel this process is an improvement on other countries policies although still lacks effectivity...
I reckon temporary migration should be really considered, check out Denmarks 10 year contract concept too?... I feel there are still more effective immigration policies/theories/proposals out there.
In the UK opposed to public opinion we actually need more immigrants as they are the only ones who are prepared to do these essential labour intensive jobs, and in fact it is our UK born citizens who are unemployed and draining our public services! Therefore, policies are needed to encourage immigrants, reducing illegal immigration and improving international relations by giving these immgirants transferable skills to take back to their home country

About the first good policy I have seen the liberal party unveil. I'm not racist nor am i against immigration .. I think Australias WAP was utterly wrong. But I do agree that if you want to come to australia to work or study then you need to know how our country works. English is Australias language and as so should be the first spoken language for everyone. We accept your culture and diversity, so have some respect and participate in ours. And yes the timing is ridiculous, give them twelve or so months .. not four years .. it's no wonder all of our assets are being taken over by overseas companies.

I'm a kiwi living in Australia. I got 17/20. A bit ashamed of not knowing how long the indiginous population have been here, other than that thought I did alright. (Who cares who the first prime minister was, etc) I think the test should be harder, if anything, and include a english language test.

The ability to speak english is a health & safety matter. I think everyone in the country should know the basic laws and have a basic idea of how australian society works. Of course it is going to depend on the questions asked as well. I don't think anyone needs to know crap like who was on the cricket team in 1978.

My honest opinion it does not go far enough amusing to see how they are all rushing to be naturalised before the test is applied.Why four years seems a long time to learn a little. If they honestly wish to come they should learn before they arrive.
