Summary
Envelope used to hold the contents of an Australian Citizenship Affirmation Pack issued by the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs in 2003 as part of an Australian Government Initiative. The pack emphasises the need for Australian citizens to have a shared vision and commitment to the future of Australia, and highlights the common values and aspirations of Australian citizens. It represents the continued desire to encourage migrants to take out citizenship as well as a new trend towards affirmation - existing citizens reaffirming their national allegiances.
Physical Description
White, paper envelope with colour design on the front. The design comprises the words 'Australians all let us rejoice' followed by seven individual images (Australian Flag, Citizenship certificate, various family shots etc.) below which is a blue colour panel with white text.
