Australian Citizenship Mock Exam

In the book Australian Citizenship - Our Common Bond, it begins by telling us that Aussies believe in staying calm during disagreements--but think it's extremely important for everyone to be comfortable, safe, and avoid getting bullied or hurt. It means a lot to them for people to be involved in making decisions by choosing who gets to sit in parliament through voting. These values are central to our Australian Values practice test.

Next, we engage in a careful examination of how religious content is supposed to work with the Aussie laws. The laws in Australia are fair, meaning everyone, even those with special religious titles, has to follow them. And this means no putting religious laws before the country's laws. So if a religious thought goes against the Aussie law, the law wins. These legal principles are covered in our Government and Law practice test.

And in the final analysis, one finds the rules about reconfiguring things in Australia, like their Constitution. You've got to get an endorsement from more than half the people in Australia and in more than half the states to make any changes, which sounds both tough and fair. These constitutional processes are explored in our citizenship test.

Then there's the discussion about being able to speak your mind freely, which Australians think is golden. But, just to be clear, throwing words around still means you must play by the laws of the land. No imaginary scenarios with speech; stay in the lines. These rights and responsibilities are detailed in our Democratic Beliefs and Rights section.

Aussies wear their hearts on their sleeves, especially in sports. Their national colors, green and gold, are all over their sports uniforms. It's a little bit like wearing a bit of the golden wattle, their national flower, which is a very nice way to demonstrate their pride and unity. You can learn more about these national symbols in our Australian citizenship videos.

Anzac Day lands on April 25th, taking its name from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, that made their way to Gallipoli, in Türkiye, on that same date in 1915, during the first World War. It's absolutely undeniable that this day holds significant meaning. This historical event is covered in our Australia People practice test.

When it comes to being a citizen of Australia, there's a rule that lets you also be a citizen of another country--but only if the other countries' laws are happy with it. Discussing the Senate and states, it doesn't really matter how many people live in a state. All states get the same deal when it comes to senators - each state gets 12 of them--but the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory, they get 2 senators each, making it a total of 76 senators. These governance structures are tested in our Australian citizenship test.

Now, onto taxes: they're extremely important because they help pay for the items everyone needs, such as hospitals, schools, the army, and roads. A special tradition in Australia is A Welcome to Country. It's given by Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Custodians and belongs to the specific land area where an event is happening. You can practice these concepts in our citizenship practice test.

Since World War II ended, there's been an important surge of people coming to Australia from places in Europe; they left their countries and came here looking to start new lives. A significant quotient of them were escaping really tough conditions back home. "Australian Citizenship - Our Common Bond" also discusses how everyone should have a fair chance at succeeding in life. It points out that what a person accomplishes should depend on their hard work and what they can do, not their family's money or who they came from. These values are explored in our citizenship test questions.

Lastly, there's more to domestic and family violence here than just the physical part. It includes more things, covering emotional abuse, threats, making someone feel isolated, and even hurting pets. It regards all those ways someone can try to control or scare someone else, not simply fighting or hitting. These social issues are addressed in our citizenship test.
