[Australia Network compiled report] The ban on citizenship rituals that must be held on Australia Day has been abolished. Minister of Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Andrew Giles announced on the 16th that local parliaments will be allowed to hold ceremonies on any day from January 23 to January 29, but the government still looks forward to the parliament continuing to use the day of January 26.
Comprehensive 9th news, Australian Radio reported that the new regulations will take effect from next year. Giles called this a "pragmatic change", but he also said: "The government pleads with the parliament to take new citizens as a focus, and many community members hope to obtain their Australian citizenship on Australia Day."
Prime Minister Albanes said the government's decision was to ensure that residents can personally participate in the naturalization ceremony regardless of where they are. Dan Tehan, shadow minister of the Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship Affairs, accused the move of undermining the importance of Australia and paving the way for the abolition of Australia and Japan.
It is reported that some local councils have stated that it is more expensive to hold ceremonies during public holidays, and it would be better to hold events during National Day Week.
In addition, two local parliaments in Melbourne, Yarra and Darebin City, were previously deprived of the right to host the ceremony by the federal government for voting to cancel the Australian Japanese, and Giles announced that he would restore the right to host the ceremony.
