目前，政府已提交立法，称禁止三次考试不及格的人在两年内再次参加考试。反对党移民部的发言人Tony Burke在网上发起了请愿，希望能取消新公民法。

请愿书中表示，政府提出的新公民法是不公平的，这是在阻止那些永久居住在这里的人成为澳洲公民。“艾伯特、谭保、莫里森领导的政府都在试图更改公民法，新增的英语条件是在阻止人们入籍，尽管他们会永久居住在澳洲。”

澳洲民族联合委员会的代理首席执行官Mohammad AI-Khafaji表示，这项测试无法反映一个人对澳洲的许诺。

他在接受《信使邮报》的采访时透露：“像‘澳洲国旗上的英联邦之星在哪里’这样的问题，不是审核一个人是否有资格成为澳洲公民的依据。”

“我怀疑许多土生土长的澳洲人都很难答对这些问题。还有，英语可能不是你的第一语言，或是你在之前的人生中经历了折磨、创伤或患有其它未被诊断出的精神问题，这些都是问题所在。”

政府曾说过，让申请者多次参加测试，直至他们通过是无法达到测试目的的。

答案：1a，2a，3c，，4b，5a，6b，7b，8b，9c，10a。
