Sydney, Sep 17 Australian legend Sir Don Bradman, the country's sporting idol at the height of the Great Depression, has been completely ignored in the new citizenship test introduced by the Kevin Rudd Government.

In the new test material unveiled by Australian Immigration Minister Chris Evans, potential citizens would not be quizzed about Bradman, rather they would be quizzed on their understanding of their civic duty and the responsibilities of citizenship.

The cricketer, widely acknowledged as the greatest batsman of all time and possessing a career Test batting average of 99.94, features on just one page in the new citizenship handbook.

"I understand there are more words about Don in this one than there were in the old one, but he's not in the test," The Australian quoted Evans, as saying.

"I want people applying for Australian citizenship to know things such as under Australian law domestic violence is illegal, that you are not entitled to hit women in Australia. That seems to me to be much more relevant than understanding whether Don, whether Walter Lindrum was good at billiards," he added.

Evans further said that the new test would give people a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities and the contract they're entering into as citizens.

The test has been made more relevant to migrants of all backgrounds and they will be required to answer 20 multiple choice questions, while the pass marks have been raised from 60 per cent to 75 per cent. (ANI)
