The immigration minister will have the power to overrule tribunal decisions he disagrees with under proposed citizenship changes.
Peter Dutton can already overturn the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) on some visa matters, but the provision will be extended to citizenship decisions, under fresh reforms to be introduced to parliament this week.
Mr Dutton says it's important to have the same powers to overrule Tribunal decisions on citizenship as he does to block visas
Other changes will include extending the period before which permanent residents can apply to become a citizen to four years, and introducing a values test.
The legislation still needs to pass the Senate.

Calls made by One Nation senator Pauline Hanson for the deportation or internment of people deemed security threats have largely been rejected by politicians on all sides of government.
Ms Hanson says stronger action needs to be taken on migrants and refugees who come to the attention of Australian security forces.
She says those on watch lists who are not Australian citizens should be deported and those who are, interned, to neutralise their possible harm to this country.
Liberal Senator James Patterson has told SKY news while he understands the need for more control of individuals who pose a threat to national security, he believes internment is going too far.
