澳大利亚公布入籍考试指南 强调移民融入主流社会

　　中新社悉尼八月二十六日电　作为澳大利亚新近出台的入籍必须经过考试的政策，联邦移民部今天公布了一本名为《成为澳大利亚公民》的指南性小册子，强调考入籍考试的主要目的是使移民融入主流社会。

　　这本小册子共四十页，内容简述了澳大利亚历史、政治架构、经济文化历史以及土著命运等，其中要求所有入籍申请者必须认同的十项“澳大利亚价值观”的内容由澳大利亚总理霍华德和移民部长安德鲁斯亲自审定。

　　安德鲁斯部长今天表示，“融入”将是政府今后挑选移民的首要标准。另外，持有澳大利亚永久或临时签证者都要签署一份尊重澳大利亚价值观、遵守澳大利亚法律的“价值观声明”，被要求签署声明的甚至可能包括短期来澳游客。

　　在谈到入籍考试时，安德鲁斯说，入籍考试将要求申请者在考试中回答二十道题，答对十二题以上即可通过。这二十道题是从一个包括二百道题的题库中随机抽取的。问题可能包括澳大利亚各级议会议员代表如何选出、澳大利亚联邦建制何时开始、澳大利亚国庆日是哪一天等。通不过者可以无次数限制地再次考试。

　　安德鲁斯透露，目前，澳大利亚公民入籍考试法案已获众议院通过，一旦参议院通过便可正式立法。
