Senator ELLISON—You can take that on notice. How will the review of the citizenship test be structured?

Talk
Senator Chris Evans—That decision is before government. I will make an announcement about that in due course. My intention is to make it a small group who will consult and hear from people about the relevant issues. I will give them a fairly wide brief.

Talk
Senator JOYCE—Will those tests be done in regional towns instead of them having to travel to Gladstone—

Talk
Senator Chris Evans—I have indicated earlier that that is one of my concerns. I think the department can give you a bit of a response. That is a live issue in Western Australia as well—about access to tests and the difficulties for people in regional Australia. I am sure it was an issue you took up with the previous government when they introduced the test. I am happy to take it up as well for you.
