"A plan to introduce a compulsory test for prospective Australian citizens has been questioned by ethnic community representatives but supported by a noted historian. Keith Windschuttle, author and historian, says it's a good idea because immigrant communities should assimilate rather than remain separate. The plan put forward by Andrew Robb, the Parliamentary Secretary to Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone, would require migrants to have more than just a basic understanding of English, and a general knowledge of Australian values before they can take out Australian citizenship. And he plans to visit countries which already have compulsory citizenship tests to see if they can be reproduced here in Australia."
