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

To ask the Minister for Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs — What criteria determine if a citizenship application is classed as requiring 'thorough analysis' or 'further assessment' or any similar designation.

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.
