What's the difference between an Australian green card and Australian citizenship?

This immigrant holds an Australian green card and Australian citizenship, which are different. The following letter from Australia says:

One, the five rights that permanent residents cannot enjoy but only citizens can enjoy are:

1, voting rights; 2. the right to be elected; 3. join the army; 4. Being elected as a member of the jury; 5, engaged in some special work of the government (such as intelligence personnel).

Second, the green card is essentially a valid visa, which generally only allows the holder to enter and leave Australia within five years. After the expiration, the fee must be renewed. Renewal requires that the holder must have lived in Australia for two years in the past five years. Once you acquire Australian citizenship, whether you live in Australia or not, you will remain Australian citizenship for life and be protected by Australian overseas consulates.

3. If the green card holder is sentenced to more than 12 months in Australia, the green card will be cancelled. Australian citizenship cannot be revoked.

4. If one parent is an Australian green card holder, if the child is born in Australia, then the child is born an Australian citizen. If the child is born in China, then the child is a citizen of China, and of course he can apply for an Australian green card in the future. If one parent is an Australian citizen, no matter where the child was born (such as China), the child is born an Australian citizen.

In terms of social welfare, new immigrants can enjoy free medical care and parental allowance as soon as they arrive in Australia. However, holders of new permanent residence visas are not allowed to apply for unemployment benefits, emergency comprehensive relief and student allowances within the first two years, and other benefits are basically the same as citizens, such as free primary and secondary education, student loans and free medical care. Hold a green card for 2 years and you can enjoy all the benefits in Australia.

These are the differences, I hope I can help you ~ ~ ~
