Australia unveils major changes to citizenship process

Australia has unveils major changes to citizenship process. Announcing the process, Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull said, aspiring citizens will have to undergo tougher tests on their English language skills and ability to demonstrate Australian values. 

He said migrants must demonstrate support for religious freedom and gender equality, respect for



women and children. Applicants must also have completed four years as a permanent resident, three years longer than at present. Mr Turnbull said the changes would ensure that migrants were better integrated into the community. 

The move comes two days after Australia unveiled stricter visa requirements for skilled workers from overseas.
