MEDIA RELEASE: Liberals attack on citizenship continues - Labor stands firm

MONDAY, 14 AUGUST 2017

The Liberal National Government has proven today that it is unwilling to listen. A Government unwilling to listen to people who have highlighted the injustice of people having to wait more than a decade before they pledge allegiance to Australia.

It’s refused to listen to people who have said that demanding university level English is an outrageous act of snobbery.

It’s refused to listen to those that have pointed out that no national security agency has recommended these changes.

The people’s campaign will now turn to the Senate to encourage the cross bench members to listen where the Government has refused to do so.
