Should Australia's citizenship requirements be tightened?
It's a weighty issue that's drawn a mixed response from members of the Thornbury Bowls Club in Melbourne's north.
"I don't agree with that. I think we should support our refugees and help people get into Australia. We're a multicultural society."
"They've got to go by our way of life. As long as they're hard workers, goers... if you can work, you become Australian."
A Senate inquiry into the government's proposed changes has attracted around 13,000 submissions.
The overwhelming majority of those advise against the changes.
But a submission by Philip Benwell, the national chair of the Australian Monarchist League, says the League is in favour of restricting citizenship approvals.
"The issue of multiculturalism, which is important, is being put above the Australian identity. It's important that when people come here, they become Australians, assimilate, and not form individual communities."
Mr Benwell says the league is not convinced all potential citizens are doing what they can to fully integrate.
The League is backing the government's push for applicants to prove they're integrating, whether by joining clubs or enrolling their children in school.
But Mr Benwell is more cautious about other proposed measures, including the English proficiency test.
"We believe the proficiency test should be stronger. Of course, not to University level, that's a bit absurd."
As for giving the immigration minister powers to overrule tribunal decisions, he disagrees with that plan.
"Something needs to be done to strengthen the requirements for citizenship without being overruled by another body, but on the other hand, too much power being placed in the hands of one person is never a good thing. Peter Dutton may be a very competent minister, but in a few years time we may have a totally incompetent minister."
Meanwhile, entrepreneur Dick Smith remains sceptical of all the measures, despite his million-dollar campaign encouraging Australia to reduce its annual migration intake by more than half.
Mr Smith says the amendments in their current form are still ineffective.
"I think this is a complete non-issue. I don't agree on making the English test harder. I think modern Australia's made from immigration and many of those immigrants came here, coudn't speak English at all. Trying these different small changes are because our politicians are not game to say that we have to have a population policy."
The government says its migration program is unchanged at its present 190,000 places.
And it says there's nothing in the current bill that will alter its citizenship program from being demand-driven and unlimited.
