Yahoo New plan no problem for 'fair dinkum' migrants: Howard

Prime Minister John Howard says the Government's plan to toughen up migration requirements will not be a difficulty for 'fair dinkum' migrants.

As part of the new requirements for Australian citizenship, the length of time migrants have to wait before applying will be increased from three to four years.

It is expected migrants will also have to pass an English language test in order to become an Australian citizen.

Mr Howard has told Southern Cross Radio it makes sense for migrants to learn English before becoming citizens.

"I can't understand how anybody can take exception to that," he said.

"I mean the great unifying thing about this country is language, I mean our culture, the culture of any country is heavily defined by its language.

"Because along with the language comes the literature and the cultural history bound up with it."

Mr Howard also says migrants will need to know more about the country before being granted citizenship.

"It won't become more difficult if you're fair dinkum and most people who come to this country are fair dinkum about becoming part of the community," he said.

"I think most people will welcome it - you'll certainly need to know a good deal more about Australia and about Australian customs and the Australian way of life."

Meanwhile Federal Opposition Leader Kim Beazley has applauded mainstream Muslim leaders for standing up for Australian values.

Mr Beazley has come under attack this week from both the Government and some in his own party for proposing visitors sign a values document when they come to Australia.

He told the Macquarie Radio Network such a document would help Islamic leaders deal with the challenges facing their communities.

"Muslim leaders are standing up, and standing up might I say for Aussie values, but they need a bit of help," he said.

"The help they need is to make absolutely certain that when people come to this country they have a very clear-cut understanding of what we expect of them."


Daily Telegraph Four-year wait to be Aussie

MIGRANTS will have to wait at least four years before becoming Australian citizens under a Federal Government proposal expected to be announced today.


They will have also have to take an English language test – and failure would stop them becoming Aussies.

The measures are expected to be listed in a discussion paper to be released by parliamentary secretary for immigration Andrew Robb.

Prime Minister John Howard said yesterday the English language requirements feature "prominently" in the package.

"I am keen on everybody learning the English language as soon as possible," he said. "It is absolutely essential."

The Daily Telegraph understands the proposals also include an increase in the waiting period for people to become citizens from three years to four years.

The requirement was last year raised from two to three years, in an attempt to contain the home-grown terror threat. At that time, then citizenship minister John Cobb said the longer migrants spent in Australian society before gaining citizenship, the less vulnerable they were to "falling in with extreme groups".

He said the extra time would allow migrants to "get a job, make mates and go to the pub".

A Federal Government source yesterday told The Daily Telegraph there had been high-level discussions about upping the eligibility requirements from three to four or even five years.

He said there was likely to be public consultation but there would be a short time-frame for people to voice their concerns.

Mr Robb has been working on the proposal since April, when he said knowing the date of the Melbourne Cup was a cultural value that everyone hoping to become an Australian citizen should know.

The English language component was flagged by the Prime Minister as he called on all Muslims to learn English to better integrate into society.

"Integrating means accepting Australian values, it means learning as rapidly as you can the English language if you don't already speak it," Mr Howard said.

His comments won support from several prominent Muslim leaders and Foreign Minister Alexander Downer.

Currently, all permanent skilled migrants must have vocational English, but there are exemptions for areas of acute skills shortages and temporary migrants.

Skilled migrants – who make up about 70 per cent of all immigration – are all tested before being granted a visa. The remaining 30 per cent, generally refugees, family reunion or family members of skilled migrants, have no English requirement.

They are being offered taxpayer-funded English courses but only 62 per cent turned up for classes in the past year.

澳洲把拿到PR前临居的时间也算的。。。所以一个在澳洲读3年本科毕业后拿到PR后，只要再住一年就能换护照了。。。比现在还变简单了。。。。。

如果真的是这样，那么澳洲护照确实比加拿大好拿，加拿大拿到PR前临居的时间也算，不过只能对半，且无论临居时间多长，都只能算作一年。
不过我说NZer老兄，你已经拿到了NZ的PR，就不要打击我们的积极性啦！:)

澳洲这么做很精的，表面上是增加难度，但如果你先来花大钱，我还让你容易点。。。。很人性化，不像NZ，死脑筋。。。。。

感觉NZ现在的移民法有点针对中国人，明摆着歧视华人，但又不能直接以此借口来拒绝华人移民。

01，02年来太多中国人了，鱼龙混杂。03年底开始收紧，雅思标准从5分拉到6.5，达不到就别申请，这样国内直接落地移民的可能性就基本被卡死，这两年就主要是在慢慢消化当时留学大潮所带来的毕业高峰了。也好，说什么留学生总比那些直接落地的素质高，毕竟年纪轻，比较容易同化，像加拿大那样搞得全是直接落地移民，几个月过不惯就发牢骚，回流，才叫没出息。。。。这东西就是要时间熬，20年的移民，和10年的移民，和1年的移民质量绝对是相差很大的。。。
