Govt to announce new plans for migrants

Thursday Sep 14 23:59 AEST

Migrants will have to wait at least four years before becoming Australian citizens,

under a new federal government proposal.

They will also have to pass an English language test to qualify for citizenship,

News Limited reports.

The measures are expected to be listed in a discussion paper to be released on Friday,

by parliamentary secretary for immigration Andrew Robb.

Prime Minister John Howard said on Thursday the English language requirements,

would feature prominently in the package.

"I am keen on everybody learning the English language as soon as possible," Mr Howard said.

It is understood the proposals also include an increase in the waiting period for people to become citizens.

The requirement was last year raised from two to three years,

in an attempt to contain the home-grown terror threat.

Federal government sources told News Limited there had been high-level discussions,

about upping the eligibility requirements from three to four or even five years.

:huh:

sounds good to me

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
