About fucking time. Niggers and Syrians can't spell didgeridoo.

Migrants wanting to become Australians will have to sit a stand-alone English language test before being allowed to apply for citizenship, AAP reports. Language proficiency is set at level 6 — roughly that required for university entrance.

Under a raft of new measures introduced to parliament on Thursday, applicants will need to prove a "competent" level of reading, writing, listening and speaking.

It will be up to the immigration minister to determine what level of proficiency is needed.

...People aged over 60 and children under 16 will be exempt, as will those with hearing, speech or sight impairments or permanent or enduring physical or mental incapacity...

...Potential citizens will also need to demonstrate their integration into the community, including by "behaving in a manner consistent with Australian values"...

They include changing the period of permanent residency from one year to four, a new values test, and stronger character checks.

  • Renaming the 'pledge of commitment' to the 'pledge of allegiance'
  • Allowing a person to be barred for two years if the minister has refused to approve them becoming a citizen on grounds other than failing to meet the residence requirement; and
  • Requiring all applicants to be of good character to be eligible for Australian citizenship.
