| According to new research released by the Refugee Council of Australia, obtaining a citizenship is becoming increasingly harder for migrants and refugees, with applicants experiencing delays of more than two years.
Released earlier this year, evidence collected by the RCOA suggests applicants on average can wait for about 215 days to gain citizenship, after lodging their application, and can then wait a further 357 days to attend a ceremony to officiate it.
Katanning's Read Write Now tutor Kerry Palmer, who also works closely with migrants and refugees - helping them study for the test - said it had absolutely no value to their transition into Australian society.
"It's archaic, the whole thing (the test) is archaic, trying to explain or match up the relevance for me is totally impossible," she said.
"I see no value in the Australian citizenship test questions, people coming from a background of no education, who have not learnt to read and write, to do this is near impossible.
