These proposed changes will make it obligatory to have sufficient English proficiency requirement. Moreover, they will also enhance the overall time span to seek permanent residents. Both these requirements will be deemed necessary to obtain Australian citizenship.
\nEarly this morning, a Labor faction gathered in Canberra and planned to vote against the Citizenship Law in its present structure.
\nThese proposed changes are termed as a “massive overreach” by Tony Burke (Shadow Minister for Citizenship). Discussing the dark side of this new English requirement, he said that a majority of Australians residents are unable to attain the required level of English proficiency.
\nMr. Burke further stated, “The challenge with the English language test, that they’ve set it so high, is just ludicrous and absurd, and dumb”.
\nHe also shared his distress over the argument that these changes are necessary as a matter of \u201cNational Security\u201d.
\nAt the time when Citizenship Law changes were declared in April early this year, Labor party suggested that some of these changes are acceptable and they will talk about them. However, after some time the shadow cabinet came forward with a view to set aside these changes.
\nThe increase in waiting time to four years from one year is specifically opposed by the opposition party. This amendment will affect the permanent residents while applying for the Australian citizenship. The second change regarding much harder English language test is not immune from the brunt opposition.<\/p>\n
