I rate Quade and I think his situation for citizenship is pretty ridiculous given how long he has lived here.
But to focus purely on the 'test cap' part of the argument I actually disagree, in the era of professionalism I don't think test caps should carry any greater weight than other qualifying criteria. At the end of the day they are an employee of a company which represents Australia , but if the rules are going to be amended or adjusted purely on that then the same should to be applied to all employees of sovereign Australian companies.
More broadly in the Cooper and Genia scenario it amazes me they dont qualify based on residency alone, or at least haven't previously qualified given the amount of time they've lived here. Maybe it has just been a case of timing of when they applied for the citizenship which has brought them unstuck a bit. Had they applied back in 2011 when they'd spent the previous 'x' years in Australia it wouldn't have been an issue.
