Question

Australian passports are issued only to Australian citizens, so Australian citizens can apply for an Australian passport.

Relevant knowledge points:
- A passport is an official travel document that proves a person’s citizenship and nationality.
- Only persons who are Australian citizens are eligible to be issued an Australian passport.
- Permanent residents are not Australian citizens; they hold a visa status that permits residence but does not confer an Australian passport.
- Australian citizens have the right of entry to Australia and therefore do not require a visa to return to Australia (though they do normally use a passport for international travel).

Step-by-step reasoning:
1. Examine option (a): “Australian citizens can apply for an Australian passport.” This matches the definition and practice: citizenship is the eligibility criterion for a national passport. Therefore (a) is true.
2. Examine option (b): “Permanent residents can hold an Australian passport.” Permanent residency is not citizenship. Since passports are issued based on citizenship, a permanent resident cannot be issued an Australian passport unless they have obtained citizenship. Thus (b) is false.
3. Examine option (c): “Australian citizens need a passport and visa to return to Australia.” Citizens normally need proof of identity/citizenship (passport) for travel, but they do not require a visa to re-enter Australia because they have an unconditional right of entry. Therefore (c) is false.

Why (a) is correct: An Australian passport is explicitly a proof of Australian citizenship and is issued to citizens. Options (b) and (c) contradict the legal relationship between citizenship, residency and right of entry.

Conclusion: The correct statement is (a) Australian citizens can apply for an Australian passport, which matches the provided answer.
