Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is it the case that the US Consul-General gave a speech at the ceremony titled ‘What it’s like to be an Australian citizen or become an Australian citizen’? Is it appropriate for noncitizens to give formal addresses about what it means to be an Australian citizen at citizenship ceremonies? Does the minister have any plans to change the Australian Citizenship Ceremonies Code to reflect this?
