Local councils will now be able to hold citizenship ceremonies on any date from January 23 to 29, rather than being obliged to hold the events on Australia Day .
Councils who made this move were stripped of the honour of holding citizenship ceremonies by the former Coalition government Immigration Minister Andrew Giles announced the change on Friday morning. It follows a string of councils in Melbourne signalling plans to move their Australia Day citizenship ceremonies away from January 26, which many Indigenous people consider a day of mourning.
“This is a pragmatic change that allows councils to hold Australian citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day, or on the three days before and after – from 23 to 29 January.”

Albanese did ‘what he said he would do’ in passing multiple pieces of legislationFormer Labor advisor Darrin Barnett says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese “has done what he said he would do” in passing multiple pieces of legislation. “He’s passed an integrity commission, climate targets, now we have some relief for consumers in energy,” Mr Barnett told Sky News Australia. “So I think he’s gonna go into the long break with a big smile on his face.” He promised all Aussie's would be better of. The Aussies that are better of are families, women, the disabled and of course Aboriginals. What about Aussie men? Albo has done nothing that really matters. Climate scam and the voice are his pet project. While the rest of Australia has gone backwards. It is all talk and no action with this government. Albo has been too busy giving away our money overseas to care about what going on at home.

Ms Price said the government is “encouraging” welfare dependency. “Some of our most marginalised in our communities need to get away from welfare and to be able to provide jobs within their own communities,” she told Sky News host Rowan Dean.
