Australian Citizenship Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Commitments for Australian Citizenship and Other Measures) Bill 2018</a>.</p>

online survey</a> set up by a Parliamentary Committee gives everybody in Australia a chance to have their say on proposed legislation which would require an eight year wait to apply for citizenship, instead of one year. The Bill also demands high-level English
competency for citizenship.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt">It is essentially the exact same bill the APS responded to last year (except the proposal is to require migrants to have had permanent residency for eight and not four years prior to being eligible to apply for citizenship). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt">In the submission to the Inquiry last year, the APS expressed real concern that large numbers of migrants will be excluded from full participation in Australian society, with likely risks to the mental health of individuals and
the social cohesion of communities. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Key points from the APS submission include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Attaining citzenship not only provides migrants with political and legal rights, but also a sense of belonging to the community.</li><li>Evidence shows that social inclusion reduces the risk of mental ill-health for individuals, and social conflict for communities.</li><li>Increasing the English language requirement will affect particular groups disproportionately, such as refugees, stay-at-home mothers and others who have had limited access to formal education in their country of origin.</li><li>The APS supports strengthening English language support for migrants and humanitarian entrants to assist them in attaining English proficiency.</li><li>The APS is concerned about the proposed extension of Ministerial powers.</li><li>The APS considers the current the current requirements to test citizenship to be adequate.</li></ul>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt">The survey closes at </span><strong style="font-size:10pt">5pm on 27 April 2018 AEST</strong><span style="font-size:10pt"> - I apologise for the extremely late notice in informing you of this survey but if you have the time to
complete it then I encourage you to do so.</span></p>
