On 15 October 2007 the Government transitioned from a liberal, multicultural immigration policy to an assimilation policy. This comes after a shift in political discourse. During the early 2000s the rhetoric became more nationalistic and Australia, like many other countries, focused on defining its own identity. Eligibility requirements for citizenship have been strengthened and all applicants for temporary and permanent visas must read and agree to the Statement of Australian Values. These fundamental values ​​of the nation are summarized in three points: “ • Australian society values ​​respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law, parliamentary democracy, equality between men and women and a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect, tolerance, fairness and compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good • Australian society values ​​equal opportunities for individuals, regardless of their race, religion or origin ethnic • The English language, as a national language, is an important unifying element of Australian society”. In a first point we will analyze the text and try to understand its purpose and the means used to achieve it. Then we will focus on the three points and the “Australian values” defined by the State. The question of this focus is to know whether the values ​​defined by the State are promoted and recognized by the media and the population or not and whether they actually occur in reality. Finally we will express some of the criticisms leveled at this form of the “Statement of Australian Values”. We will first consider the reasons and objectives that prompted the government to create this statement and analyze its writing.
