It's important to learn the language when you move to a country, which is why we all speak a vibrant array of indigenous languages that totally aren't either already extinct or in danger of being lost

It's pretty funny when you consider English has no official legal status as national language of Australia and the correct answer is factually wrong

I don't think you need to legally enshrine English as the national language for it to be factually correct that all our poo poo is written in English.

All our poo poo is written in a lot of languages tho, the point of not having a de Jure national language is that there's no functional reason to actually identify and specific language as a national language. It's funny to say something is a national language when it doesn't have de Jure status. Sorry jordies hosed your brain chemistry for humour or whatever bro

Would you pass the Australian Values section on the updated Citizenship Test? I'm also still waiting to see what the updates to the Australian Values Statement are about.

16. Which of these statements best demonstrates Australian values about freedom of expression?
a. Everyone can peacefully express their opinions within the law
b. People with different views from me need to keep quiet
c. Only approved topics can be discussed

17. Should people in Australia make an effort to learn English?
a. People in Australia should speak whichever language is most commonly spoken in their local neighbourhood
b. There is no expectation to learn any particular language in Australia
c. Yes, English is the national language of Australia and it helps to get an education, a job, and to integrate into the community

18. In Australia, can you encourage violence against a person or group of people if you have been insulted?
a. Yes, if you do not intend to carry out the violence
b. No, it is against Australian values and the law
c. Sometimes, if I feel very offended

19. Should people tolerate one another where they find that they disagree?
a. It is against the law to disagree with one another
b. No, people only need to treat each other with respect if they agree with one another
c. Yes, peaceful disagreement reflects Australian values in relation to mutual respect

20. Which of the following is an example of contributing to the Australian community?
a. Volunteering or fundraising for a charity is a great opportunity to strengthen our community
b. I should not make any effort to get to know other people
c. People in Australia should not contribute to the community because Australia is a free country

This feels like the "Are you a terrorist? [ ] Yes [ ] No" question on the USA visa application.

lol answering anything other than c for question 17 automatically fails you on the whole test

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-18/former-premier-colin-barnett-wants-juukan-gorge-royal-commission/12678126

quote:

Former West Australian premier Colin Barnett has called for a royal commission into Rio Tinto's destruction of ancient rock shelters in the Pilbara.

Mr Barnett, whose granted the company consent to destroy Aboriginal sites in 2013, said the issue was of such significance it warranted an independent inquiry with judicial powers.

Between that line and the photo chosen, someone at the ABC doesnt like Colin. Which is good because he can gently caress off.

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

A former stock trader who drunkenly robbed Sydney banks more than four decades ago has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in jail.

Ross McCarty, now 71, admitted to police he had a double life in which he would "get boozed at lunch time" for the hold ups in 1977 and 1978.

Using a water pistol and disguises including fake moustaches and sunglasses, McCarty wrote his demands for cash on withdrawal slips handed to tellers.

Do you want to pass the citizenship test, or do you want to be right? they are mutually exclusive.

Also C might not be true but it is absolutely going to put you at an advantage in all 3 areas listed as benefitting vs those that dont so

He got convicted of fraud offenses in 2010, then the old case squad reopened the bank robberies in 2018 and did some fingerprint analysis.

Moral of the story is not to get caught for fraud, looks like.

I don't know what to do about this. Like it's not just a whinge and I know I wouldn't be working a full week to earn a hundred bucks more than jobseeker if I was on it. This combined with all the insolvent traders will be interesting. Work for the jobseeker incoming.

Jobseeker will be significantly reduced in 5 days when the Coronavirus supplement goes from $550/fn to $250/fn.

Pretty sure there would already be work for the jobseeker in the mutual obligation toolbox.
