Proposed changes to Citizenship may not pass

While the citizenship status of Australia's parliamentarians has dominated the news for months, a Government bill to make it harder for people to get citizenship was under quiet scrutiny. Proposed changes include a longer waiting period for re-applicants and including questions about Australian values and a university-level English exam in the citizenship test.Now, a report tabled in parliament and a crucial Senate crossbench voting bloc indicate any changes may still be a ways from reality.
