The number of people passing the Australian citizenship tests has dropped significantly under the Albanese government.
The pass rate has fallen to 65 per cent compared to about 80 per cent under the Coalition.
New data shows more than 100,000 people failed the test over a 14month period between 2022 and 2023.
Citizenship Law Expert and Test Reviewer Professor Kim Rubenstein told Sky News Australia that “there’s a difference” between the level of English required to undertake the test and the level required to become a citizen.
The amount of English knowledge needed to undertake the test is of a higher standard than the basic understanding needed to become an Australian citizen, according to Professor Rubenstein.
