I filled out Juliet’s citizenship application form yesterday. Two of the questions stumped me, not for their difficulty, but their inclusion.
Have you ever committed any war crimes? Are you a terrorist? They’re not the exact words, but they may as well be.
I can just picture Osama Bin Laden sitting in his cave thinking he can trick the Australian Government into giving him citizenship by answering "no" to both questions.
Obviously, terrorists will attempt to deceive. I suppose that if the deceipt is discovered the government can deport them for telling fibs on the application. That’s the only reason I can see for asking such questions.
These articles might be of interest:
Who would tell the truth anyway……..Yes sir im a sadistic terrorist, but let me in anyway.
They should ask smarter questions like, “which footy team will you be supporting?” If you answer Collingwood you’re deported immediately as a potential terrorist.
