you are thinking of lying on a character assessment form? I don't know
about anyone else but I find that pretty ironic :)

Be truthful they don't like liars.

Seems Form 80 has recently changed. There was only 25 questions before
and that was only 6 months ago.... that particlar question wasnt on
there otherwise i think i may have had to say yes.

Basically be truthful. What can be so bad about applying for citizenship
of another country unless you did illegally or that country doesnt like
you having dual nationality. Then they may require you to surrender it
before you can apply for australian citizenship. But that should not
effect an application.

You need to be more specific as to your circumstances.... a simple yes
on the form isnt an automatic rejection for all questions!

No other country has a veto over grant of Australian citizenship
to a person.

The other country can revoke that person's "other" citizenship if they
wish but that is not Australia's issue.
