Local councils will be allowed to hold citizenship ceremonies three days before or after Australia Day, but the federal government says its 'strong expectation' is that they remain on January 26.

abc.net.au/news/federal-government-citizenship-ceremony-date-changes/101779778The federal government is giving local councils the flexibility to choose whether or not to hold citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day, allowing them now to be three days before or after January 26.

"The Australian government implores councils to have new citizens as their key focus, recognising that many community members want to complete their journey to Australian citizenship in connection with Australia Day," he said.

Abolish Australia Day until Australia has the integrity to abolish itself.

This is a non story... They can (and do) run citizenship ceremony's on any of the 365 days in the year

councils should be doing what the people tell them to do

2023 would be a good year to change it since a lot of opposition. Why not just make New Year’s Day Australia Day and have whatever the Monday just schedule another public holiday for the Monday when it’s on a weekend

Are there any other countries that hate their national day more than Australia? Are there any other countries with 3 flags?

Oz day is a national holiday for all Australians It is NOT up to councils to play politic Councils have gone to overdrive in woke madness They replaced street signs with NO RACISM signs They need to care for the roads than playing politic

So they will make the whole week a public holiday

Lol, wouldn't that be Australia day adjacent?

Someone tell me the difference between The ABC and Twitter pre Elon Musk?

What about in Oct when our council has ours?

What a disgrace, stop dividing society and creating racism with your woke BS.

you cant be too PC these days.........just as well the ABC is moving to parramatta

Anti-Australianism needs to be stamped out.

Research project to look into how to foster belonging among African youth in AustraliaBeing the only black girl in the entire year level of her Adelaide high school, Jeanne found it hard to feel a sense of belonging. A new research project is looking at how to improve the situation in education, as well as society as a whole. If you work it out please let the UK government know because it's not been going well since the 50s here. Australia is repeating the European immigration disaster. Maybe start by acknowledging they're Australian in the headline?

'Visas in three days' for teachers and nurses who want to come to AustraliaVisas for teachers and healthcare workers are now being assessed within days after the Australian government changed the way it prioritises skilled visa applications. Will do very very little to solve the massive shortages in these two areas. Imagine, and hear me out, if careers in these professions were attractive enough that people qualified in teaching and healthcare currently living in Australia desired to stay in these professions? High Taxes and lucrative Tax on bonuses. Literally peanuts after Tax. Its not really worth doing PAYG jobs. Writing lenghty CV, multiple interviews, daily commutes etc.ABN and Centerlink are better with work and life balance. Guaranteed federal/state/council support.
