Australians All Let Us Rejoice

These are questions on the test to become an Australian Citizen.
Frankly, I have no idea how this is supposed to weed out the people who are likely to take Australian citizenship and then become terrorists. Maybe #17, although technically that could apply to the "antennae-waving" Christian Right dogmatised by Fred Nile and Family First. Anyone with half a brain (and terrorists can't all be stupid, no matter how we'd like to stigmatise them as raving, frothing, unwashed rabids) could answer this with a bit of research, and any interview could be passed with a nice smile and a bit of playacting. What the hell do they think people do at job interviews all the time??
( ...For We Are Young And Free... )
And in more Australian new (I may be a bit confused here): Did the Anglican diocese of Sydney just allow for the ordination of women, or have I unexpectedly flown across the Pacific Ocean to land in a parallel universe?
