asked the Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs, in writing, on 26 February 2018:

To ask the Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs — Does his department maintain data on citizenship applications classed as requiring 'thorough analysis' or 'further assessment' or some other similar designation, to indicate increased complexity or difficulty in processing.

The answer to the honourable member's question is:

All applications for Australian citizenship are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the legislative criteria of the Australian Citizenship Act 2007. The Department does not attribute applications into broad designations or categories as indicated in the question.
