Mr Laurie Ferguson
asked the Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs, upon notice, on 31 May 2004:
(1) Under what circumstances does the Department of Immigration, Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs organise, and meet the cost of, public citizenship ceremonies as a means of promoting the value of citizenship.
(2) How many such ceremonies were organised by the department in (a) 2002-2003, and (b) 2003-2004 to date.
(3) In respect of each ceremony, (a) what was the (i) date, (ii) venue, (iii) federal electoral division, and (iv) total cost to the department, and (b) what were the names of all the Commonwealth and State Members of Parliament who were in attendance.
Mr Hardgrave (Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister)
—The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:
(1) Promotion campaigns over recent years have been developed around citizenship ceremonies on or close to Australia Day, Australian Citizenship Day and Harmony Day. In addition, advantage is taken of opportunities which arise throughout the year and are assessed as being of value in promoting community awareness of the meaning and value of citizenship. Special ceremonies are often used as a means to promote citizenship. Considerable promotional value is derived, at no cost to the taxpayer, from media attention given to these events.
(2) (a) 42. (b) 55.
[Note: Data on this question is not held centrally. Information provided is drawn from manual examination of files held in State and Territory offices.]
