Thank you, Anne, for this information.
I'm sure there are a lot of Aussies out there who don't realize that this
law has finally passed.

I know that I will be applying for my Australian citizenship as soon as I am
able.
I've been looking forward to this for a very long time.

Sincerely,

In case you have not heard yet, major new Australian citizenship legislation
has just been passed by Australia's federal parliament in Canberra.

This will give thousands of Australian-born war brides and their children in
the US new rights to apply for Australian citizenship from the
implementation date of 1 July 2007.

Unfortunately, many have no idea and may miss out on the benefits of
Australian citizenship (and dual citizenship) simply because they are
oblivious to these changes. We are trying to reach as many as possible.

I attach below the text of a recent media release which provides details,
and would be very grateful if you could publicise these changes among any
Australian war brides and their descendants you may know.

We are very happy to answer individual queries from brides and their
children about specific citizenship situations/scenarios. We can be reached
at .

There is also a great deal of useful information in the special war brides
section of our website, at:

Many thanks,

Anne
