Alternative citizenship test turns other cheek

FORGET questions about Phar Lap and the national flower, ethnic groups reckon they have the answer to what should be in the Federal Government's new citizenship test.
New Australians should be quizzed about people such as slain crime boss Alphonse Gangitano and Bill O'Chee, the first ethnic Chinese elected to federal Parliament.
Melbourne Greek newspaper Neos Kosmos, in consultation with the Greek, Italian and Chinese communities, has come up with 50 questions for an ethnic Australian citizenship test.
The newspaper's English edition editor, Harry Nicolaides, slammed a list of sample questions released by the Government last week.
"(They were) written largely by John Howard to perpetuate and sustain a golden era of white, Anglo-Saxon pre-eminence," he said.
"The values and experiences of ethnic Australians must be duly acknowledged."
Among the Government's sample questions were the date of federation, the first prime minister and the first line of the national anthem.
According to the ethnic list, new citizens should know such things as the number of Italians who travelled with Captain James Cook to Australia, and what month the Greek Antipodean festival is held in Melbourne.
Neos Kosmos editor Sotirias Hatzimanolis said the list was a light-hearted response to the Howard Government's sample questions.
"Our list is a bit sarcastic," he said. "Most ethnic newspaper editors object strongly (to the Government's questions).
"They believe if the same test was put to Aussie Anglo-Saxons, most likely the majority would fail it.
"Those people who come here must be loyal to Australia, there's no doubt about that, but some of the questions are very hard and discriminatory."
The Government has released a 40-page booklet containing the material from which its test will be drawn.
It also lists the 10 essential Aussie values every aspiring citizen must embrace, including freedom of speech, peacefulness, compassion for those in need and secular government.
A spokeswoman for Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews said the great contribution of communities like the Greek and Italian was recognised by the Government.
"If they have specific comments (on the citizenship test) we will take them on board, it's just a draft at this stage," she said.
An alternative citizenship test suggested by Greek, Italian and Chinese groups.
