Hundreds of thousands of migrants from China, India and UK face waiting more than a year to receive Australian citizenship as queue blows out

hat they had been left despairing at the situation, putting their plans to study, vote, use medicare, sponsor family members and apply for government jobs on hold.Labor's home affairs spokeswoman Kristina Keneally said the delays were "cruel and callous."

"The increase has been in less-complex applications from the skilled migration stream, which increased by 41 per cent over the four years," a report by the Auditor-General found in February.

Citizenships need to be earnt, they should not be a right, many really should have their visas revoked and sent home as they have shown they cannot conduct themselves within a civilised society. But this country also needs to slow down on its immigration

Hundreds of thousands of Australians are waiting for their Chinese and Indian citizenship! Er, wait, scrap that, no one wants that and can't get it anyway.

Hundreds of thousands? Do we have the $$$ to support so many?

faithkaan take a look sweetheart

What’s the rush !! My mother who migrated here waited much longer... Who’s pushing this agenda

Thank God ....

Hundreds of thousands ? How many people are coming here every year ?

Good, FXXK EM OFF, too many, too quickly, they don’t appreciate Australian Citizenship, have little respect and think it’s a given. LNP love cheap labour and economic activity, Labor like to shame white Australians and love branch stacking and ethnic voters. CXXTS ALL OF EM😡🤬

So what? We don't want Labor trying to fast track citizenship with political drum beating.. We saw what happened the last time they controlled our borders and immigration policy. Total chaos!!

Pictured: Labor’s Barbie Doll....!!!!

we want no more immigrants here until infrastructure catches up

Keneally at it again - only fights for those trying to get into Australia - how about showing support for Australian born and indigenous first?!

Australia struggling to support the migrant flood as it is, and stupid Labor want even more. 😜😜🙄

And the reason is that australia does not open it doors with out doing proper checks

The left once again more concerned about foreigners than they are about Australians. There is no difference b/w Labor and the Greens.

And ? What is the problem here it’s not a right but a privilege to come and live here if our authorities and govt has to go through checks and balance so be it and time is not a consideration here an eye to detail is We have to sort out who is an economic/ Persecuted refugee.

Citizenship is a privilege not a right. We should be taking as long a possible to vet & choose who comes to Australia permanently. If people have to wait too bad. Look at some of the unsavoury types we have allowed in before by being slack and precipitous in our decision making.

We neither need them or want them. Any politician or person of influence that says we do is bordering on being treasonous. Since we don't execute people for such actions they should be removed from office for life.

Labour opened our borders to mass invasion of people who were not checked out. That's only one of the reasons Labour was voted OUT.

Bullshit paper.

And the problem is?

As a migrant of 20 yrs in Aus my wait was longer. I did not complain, I work, I pay my taxes, I blend in, I contribute to the community and I also have the right to say: citizenship is a priviledge, be productive & not be a burden to your new home.🇦🇺 Australia grateful oioioi

Good and while they are waiting they can learn how to appreciate Australia .

Ban the Chinese immigrants. Bring in the others plus Mexicans.

Australia needs foreign citizens so we dont have to listen to narrow minded biggots as much. They need to move over

Is this an issue, or a statement of fact?

She just likes to get her face in the press. The wait for citizenship should be longer. Perhaps 10 years.

Hundreds of thousands? What the bloody hell are you lot doing to our once beautiful country? Shut the bloody gates - we’re full!

kk

Deny them all. We don’t need them. There’s no social room for them.

Stuck where? Reject the applications. Problem solved

just collect their taxes

Typical Government agency.

Hang on hang on; on one hand KK and her Globalist pals say that Australia is terrible, filled with sexists racist islamaphobes and yet they are complaining that it takes too long for internationals to come and live here?

Depravity that created a monsterCodey Herrmann was at 'rock bottom' when he took out his rage on Aiia Maasarwe. Now, he says he's gained a 'sense of hope' in prison, something he never had growing up. So killing her was a good thing because he now has hope? What a terribly tone deaf article. And what's with the 'stuck in greensborough' angle? It is a well serviced suburb, not an isolated small town.

Massive wage underpayments at major recycler a 'national disgrace''We came here for a better life and they treat us like slaves': Migrant workers at a major recycling company describe dangerous conditions on shifts, amid estimates they were underpaid as much as $40k each per year. Might be quicker if you tell us which major companies aren't being run by slave labour, I bet the list will be short you didn't have to come wQke_ underpaid by $40K each? I don't think so.

What goes on at an illegal music gig. Are you coming?It's the moment you've all been waiting for. Disclosure time. We will soon need a permit to walk on the streets, do I have the right shoes, a reflective vest, do I know where I'm going, I guess a picnic in the park will need an environmental study. Next time I see the Baptists down at our local river I'm calling the cops, no permit no dunk
