The Australian citizenship test!

[GreatPig]

Wow, I got 20/20. A few lucky guesses there. :

Not bad for a non-citizen (even if I have lived here for 25 years...)

GP

 

[chops_a_must]

Awesome... 7/20.

 

[Woodchips]

19/20.

I put the first line of the national anthem as "Once a jolly swagman..."

WC :aus:

 

[ZacR]

19/20 Aargh!! Of all questions! 26th!! one day off, I HATE when I second guess myself

20/20 Almost lost it with the flower though - isn't the wattle the state flower for NSW as well?

I think there's too much emphasis on government/politics in that form...

At my work there are many different backgrounds... most of them wouldn't have a clue about "Who is the queens representative in Australia?"... I don't care who is (got it right though ) - to me the important facts are I vote, I work I pay taxes and I don't break the law in Australia... oh, and I love a cold beer & bbq; and so do all the non-australians I know!

Sounds like it's entry to a political social club, not a country! :

 

[nomore4s]

Awesome... 7/20.

Where is it Freo supporters come from anyway? Mars???

On the positive note, at least new citizens will know that they are in Australia.

I like this,
4. Explain the following passage: "In the arvo last Chrissy the relos rocked up for a barbie, some bevvies and a few snags. After a bit of a Bex and a lie down we opened the pressies, scoffed all the chockies, bickies and lollies. Then we drained a few tinnies and Mum did her block after Dad and Steve had a barney and a bit of biffo."

OMG! I actually understood that without even having to think. Disturbing!

NSW state flower is the Waratah! Telopea speciosissima, (spectacular flower seen from afar!) I grow Shady Lady variety in my garden in the ACT, much more hardy than the wild type.

On the positive note, at least new citizens will know that they are in Australia.

And know that English isn't a match for Jingoism here.
