I think its a good idea before we allow immigrants to become an aussie.

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.

It was ever thus. Immigrants are often held to (indeed, often hold themselves to) a higher standard than the rest of us. I shouldn't be surprised if something as daft as a brief rendition of the Australian national anthem (How could anyone in their right mind have chosen Advance Australia Fair over Waltzing Matilda?) was eventually part of every prospective citizen's application process. Do you know the words? I also think "How many states does Australia have?" is a trick question - only six - the other two are territories, ha ha! Australia's first prime minister ... anybody?

Im pleased to report that Im a true blue Aussie and got 20/20. I didnt think it was that hard, with a little googling, most people could get it right

Wow I was emailed that exact test today and passed with flying colours. Good to know that I actually listened to my teachers when in school! I am 6th generation Aussie and would be embarrassed if I had have gotten any wrong and put my ancestors to shame!

Hi there!
I did it twice. Got 16 out of 20 on the first attempt and 20 out of 20 on the second run.
May I mention that I'm a German?
May I immigrate to OZ now? LOL

Anyone who did not get 20/20 is Unstrayan. Pauline will be around real soon now. (I wonder what her score would be?)
