According to a proposal by Australian Citizenship Secretary Tucker (Alan Tudge), immigrants interested in permanent residence may be subject to mandatory values tests, according to Radio 9.
In a speech in London last night, Tucci said he would reconsider the background of immigrants and called for a "strong" defence of Western values in receiving them.
Tucci's proposal means that Australia's goverment may strengthen its review of the values of new immigrants.
"We emphasize that Australian values are the glue for national cohesion." "We do this by asking people to sign the (Values Statement), before they come to Australia and to meet the citizenship test requirements before they become citizens," he said in his speech.
"the drawback, however, is that we have only a few mechanisms currently in place to examine whether people have violated signed declarations of values."
Tapo (Malcolm Turnbull) goverment is now working to add English skills tests to applicants, and Tucci said the same principles should apply to "values" scrutiny.
He warned that Australia was moving towards a "European-style separatist model" and that "we want to bring Australia back to the road of integration."

Defense and Industry Secretary Brian (Christopher Pyne) also said on Radio 9's Today Show (Today Show) that Australia must ensure that its people are "well integrated into our community."
"We want people to understand that we support the rule of law, we encourage gender equality, we respect people's choices, we defend democracy." "these are the values we want to ensure that all new immigrants follow," he said. I think it's fair. "
Labour MP (Anthony Albanese) said on the show: "it is quite unusual for a minister to" belittle our country "overseas. I always speak well for our country. This is the work of ministers and shadow ministers. "
"and in fact, we are a fairly successful multicultural nation. People from different religions, races and backgrounds live together and are very harmonious. "
