Should We Have A Citizenship Test?

The citizenship tribulation was introduced by the Australian Government jolly recently. As a western country, Australia is veritablely the most recent create western country to have a citizenship screen out. However, there is a current debate being held on why is the citizenship leaven held for and what is the government very riddleing?According to the SBS newfounds site, the Australian Government has now changed few of the content that is to be tested in the citizenship test and states that would-be new Australian citizens will be quizzed on their understanding of their civic barter and responsibilities of citizenship rather than facing questions more or less Australias sporting heroes as it had previously asked questions about a Australian cricket player, Sir Donald Bradman and other irrelevant learning.However, when questioned to why was the citizenship test was even introduced, a minister who appeared on an SBS program called Insight argued that this test was make to test face proficiency of the new Australians. The test was also made to concur the new-comers a view on what is it mean to be Australian and what Australian values are? ,while stating all this information in a agree that the participants would need to read.In my opinion, I do not think that this is a worthwhile test as a test cant possibly test whether the people sitting for it actually believe and practice these values and will only test their ability to memorize and learn facts and information out of a book. The test also doesnt use complex English but simple and easy-to-understand words. Therefore if the main point of having the test was to test English proficiency, it would be better to hold an English exam and to be able to apply for citizenship, the person applying would need to have been a unceasing resident and would have needed to sit for an English proficiency test then anyway.This test is also a waste of time as the people sitting the test could use the time that wa s spent on taking the test and preparing for it on work and practicing Australian values to help Australias partnership and economy. We have seen both sides of the argument here and to some others who may timbre strongly for or against this issue, we can see that the Australian Government is nerve-wracking its best to please the masses and that it looks like the citizenship test is here to stick out for the long run.
