Loss and Damage

Australia’s neighbours in low-lying Pacific Island countries, such as Kiribati and Tuvalu, will be most impacted by the Trump Administration’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement.

This submission addresses the following components of the proposed citizenship changes:

• The introduction of a formal language test;
• Increasing the general residence requirement;
• Changes to the Australian Values Statement; and
• Changes to the test for Australian citizenship.

The Edmund Rice Centre for Justice and Community Education (ERC) is of the view that the proposed changes are unnecessary and we have serious concerns about the Federal Government’s motivations for the changes.
