Aussie Aussie Aussie: is the Australian citizenship test fair?

The Australian citizenship test has just turned four. Its birthday passed without fanfare but this is not surprising. Soon after its introduction, a Labor government review addressed early concerns that it was irrelevant as a requirement for solid citizenship, as well as being unfair and discriminatory toward certain groups. Since then it has had a charmed run. As a result of that review the test was revised and in October of 2009 the Australian Citizenship Test Mark II took over. We’ve heard barely a peep since. It was fixed up, you see. Or was it?
