Luke

Angeline, this is it. Part four: Australian values.

Angeline

Wow Luke! I can't believe this is the final one already!

Luke

The Australian citizenship test has twenty questions, each with multiple choice answers. To pass, you must answer at least 15 correctly.

Angeline

But this part is particularly important. There are five questions on Australian values and you must answer all of these correctly to pass.

Luke

But hey, you already know how to answer some of those questions.

Angeline

That’s right! In our second video, we talked about our core values.

Luke

Commitment means being dedicated and loyal to something or someone. As an Australian citizen, you commit to Australian values, like freedom of expression, the 'rule of law' or a ‘fair go’.

Angeline

What is the value that ensures all Australians are equal under the law?

Luke

The 'rule of law. And, obey means that you must follow Australian law.

Angeline

Can people protest against the government or religious organisations?

Luke

Yes, as long as they do it peacefully and obey the law.

Mutual respect means listening to others and treating them with dignity even if we don’t necessarily agree with their opinions or choices.

Angeline

And violence of any kind is illegal.

Luke

That means both physical and verbal violence.

Angeline

Tolerance is similar to mutual respect. It means to accept and respect beliefs, opinions, or behaviours that are different from yours.

Luke

The opposite of tolerance is intolerance.

Angeline

Is intolerance acceptable in Australian society?

Luke

Of course not! It goes against our values. But you already know that.

Angeline

And you already know religious laws are not legal in Australia.

Is polygamy legal?

Luke

Polygamy means being married to more than one person at the same time, And no, it is not legal. It’s illegal.

Angeline

Forced marriage is also illegal.

Luke

Forced marriage is when someone is made to get married without agreeing to it completely and freely.

Luke

Consent means giving permission or agreeing to something. It is when someone says 'yes' to doing something without being forced or pressured.

Angeline

Is it against the law to have sexual relations with a 15-year-old boy or girl?

Luke

Yes, because there are very strict laws regarding the age of sexual consent.

Angeline

Is mateship a core value in our society?

Luke

Of course! We love mateship! It means a strong friendship and loyalty between people, especially during tough times.

Angeline

You could also be asked to choose an example of how people contribute to the Australian community.

Luke

Volunteering means giving your time and doing something without expecting to be paid for it.

Angeline

That’s a great example of how we can contribute to our community.

Luke

Is that it?

Angeline

I have one more. Should people in Australia make an effort to learn English?

Luke

If you are not used to speaking English every day, answering this question could be tricky.

Angeline

But the correct answer is yes. Knowing English is important because it’s our national language, and it helps people get an education, or a job, and to become a full part of our community.

Luke

Now, let’s practise and see how well you do!
