Becoming Citizens
Once the New Australians
were here, and I coined that phrase, they were encouraged to become
naturalised, and when they become naturalised they cease to be New
Australians and are Australians with all the rights and privileges
but also with all the obligations and responsibilities of those
whove been naturalised before them and the natural born Australians
