What has prompted the new administration to review the Australia’s citizenship test?

Australia’s citizenship test was introduced by the former conservative government last October to ensure that new citizens are committed to the country’s broad values and aware of its indigenous and colonial history. Ten thousand six hundred people have taken the exam, but one in five test takers has failed to reach the 60 percent passing mark. That’s prompted the new Labor Party administration to review the process.

Pneumonia is the largest single killer of children under age five around the world. The World Health Organization says almost four children die from pneumonia every minute. Most are in developing countries. Current WHO guidelines recommend that severe and very severe cases of pneumonia be treated in the hospital with injectable antibiotics. But, recent studies show severe cases of pneumonia can be treated just as effectively at home with oral antibiotics.
