Part 2 : Citizenship Test 2

Australia makes sure everyone is treated fairly, regardless of whether you're a male or a female, what your background is, or how old you are. They've got several rules in place to keep it that way. Now, I know you might not really believe that both men and women have the same chance at joining the police force, or getting into the Australian Defence Force--but it's true.

And in court, it's all equal too. Previously, on 26 January 1788, Australia's story with Europeans beginning their settlement might seem like old news. They showed up with these 11 ships full of convicts, known as the 'First Fleet', rolling in from Great Britain.

Fast forward, and Australia rolls as a democracy nowadays. That's where people like us get to vote and pick who makes the decisions and laws for the country. Being an Australian means you're part of a group that's characterized by mateship. You're expected to lend a hand or get help, not simply from friends but also from strangers.

And when discussing laws, you can't say things that are not true about people, pushing others to break rules, or messing with someone's good name without getting into big trouble. And if someone doesn't follow the rules, the police can arrest them, and they may potentially end up having to explain themselves in court.

Also, beyond helping each other out like true mates, Australians are big on creating things for the local area, such as volunteering. It's a way to make connections, discover great new things, and really feel like you're part of something larger. When you're an Australian citizen, you're given some special things - not real things - but you get some nice deals.

You can vote, run for a location in parliament, get a job with the public service or Defence Force, and even get consular help when you are traveling in other countries. In addition if you're out venturing the world, you can return, and if you have young people overseas, they can become Aussies too.

And lastly, for all of you thinking about the future, if joining the Australian Army is on your mind, just wait until you turn 18, and you're in.

School books mainly discuss basic material, such as the First Fleet and how democracy leads--but Australia's character is characterized by being fair, helping out, and including everyone—from the manner its people come together to the opportunities it gives.

And it's important to note, there's Medicare, which takes care of a substantial amount of health and welfare services for everyone. To learn more about Australian citizenship and these values, you can take practice tests and watch informative videos online.
