Responsibilities and Privileges question
My 17 Year old had his interview today and they told him there were 5 Responsibilities and 8 Privileges of Australian Citizenship. The book 'A Common Bond' only states 4 Responsibilities and 6 Privileges. Does anyone have any idea what the others are? I have my test this week and am worried I am missing some

• obey the law
• vote in federal and state or territory elections,

Australia freely
• ask for consular assistance from an Australian
