"A number of new measures, previously announced by the Australian Government, come into effect from 1 July. The new Australian Citizenship Act commences. The new citizenship act changes the residence requirement for Australian citizenship, removes the age limit for Australian citizenship by descent and resumption, prohibits the approval of citizenship where a person is a threat to national security and strengthens the provisions for Australian citizenship to be revoked. New English language requirements for Employer Sponsored Temporary Business Visa (the Subclass 457) also commence."
