7) Who wrote the Australian national anthem?
Isn’t [it] funny that ten years ago One Nation was calling for a citizenship test and calls on stronger position on immigration. In response both Labour and Liberal parties called One Nation racist and insulting.
Ten years later, both major parties copyed One Nation’s policies on immigration and citizenship test. Why you ask? Because Liberal Party are oppo[r]tunistic bastards who want to stay in power and will say any shit to fool Australians into voting for them.
Australian citizenship test is very easy and its main aim is that immigrants should have basic knowledge of Australian history and traditions. We are provided with online sites which offer us online practice tests. I have found http://www . australia-citizenshiptest.com very easy.
