Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said revamping the test "was a debate worth having" as the federal government looks at measures to prevent terrorists from exploiting migration path ways.

Mr Dutton flagged he wants to see greater focus on Australian values and people's ability to integrate into society - an individual's willingness to learn English, educate their children and employment prospects or welfare dependence.
