We don't do things by halves in our family. Rather than creating one new Australian citizen (JB), we decided to create two. Joan was accepted as an Aussie late last year, and her citizenship ceremony was on the 31st of March, at the Town of Victoria Park. The first photo shows the mayor, successfully having mispronounced the names of all new citizens, reading the oath. I think Joan is swearing the oath on a copy of Pig International that she smuggled in from Bar Dudenberg..... Or maybe it's the Bible.
The second shows Joan getting her certificate of citizenship. The third shows the happy family after the formal bits of the evening. Naturally, once the champagne and canapes were over, we did what all good Australians would do; we went out and had Chinese for dinner.
Since this ceremony, Nick has been trying to educate Joan in the ways of politics, but it seems she will squander her vote on the other mob regardless. She is in fact the first person in the history of the Wang family to be able to do so.
