The Australian Values Questions: 5/5 Guaranteed on Your Citizenship Test
शेयर करना
There's one rule for the Australian Citizenship Test that causes more stress than any other: you must answer all five questions on Australian values correctly.
Get just one of them wrong, and you fail the entire test, even if you score 19/20.
The good news? These questions are straightforward if you understand the core concepts. This guide will break down exactly what you need to know to guarantee you get a perfect 5/5 score.
What Are the Core Australian Values?
The test focuses on the shared values that underpin Australian society. Let's demystify them:
1. Respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual: This means all people in Australia are free and should be treated with respect, regardless of their background, religion, or opinions.
2. Freedom of religion and freedom of speech and association: People are free to practice their religion (or no religion) and to express their ideas peacefully. This freedom has limits; it's illegal to encourage violence against others.
3. Commitment to the rule of law: This means everyone, including the government, is bound by the law. No person or group is above the law.
4. Parliamentary democracy: We elect representatives to make laws on our behalf.
5. Equality of opportunity for all people, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, or national or ethnic origin: This is the principle of a "fair go". Everyone should have the same opportunities to succeed.
Example Questions on Australian Values
The questions on the real test will assess your understanding of these concepts. They often present a scenario.
Example 1: In Australia, if you are a victim of a crime, who should you report it to?
a) Your local MP
b) The police
c) A community leader
Explanation: The correct answer is b) The police. This relates to the "rule of law". The police are responsible for enforcing the law, and everyone has access to their protection.
Example 2: Should people in Australia make an effort to learn English?
a) No, it is not important.
b) Yes, English is the national language and helps with education, business and integration.
c) Only people born in Australia need to speak English.
Explanation: The correct answer is b). While Australia has no official language, English is the national language and proficiency is key to economic participation and social cohesion, part of being in a democratic society with shared opportunities.
