The Immigration Minister says Australia's citizenship test should focus more on questions relevant to societal values and integration, instead of trivia.


The citizenship test was introduced by the Coalition government in 2007, and was amended a few years later under the Labor Party.

Questions covering Australia's history, sporting greats, government, geography and traditions were updated to include civic duty, as well as responsibilities.

Rather than answering 12 questions correctly, potential citizens needed to answer 15 to pass.
