Windschuttle’s latest book? (It’s called Becoming an Australian Citizen)

Crikey / Thursday, 30 August 2007

The new 42-page citizenship guide says on pg 39 that the “citizenship test … is designed to assess whether you have a basic knowledge of the English language”. The booklet’s authors seem to have not much more of this basic knowledge. One of the Aussie values is clumsily referred to as “peacefulness”. It gets worse.
