According to the Australian values statement:

Australian society values

  • Australian society values respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law, Parliamentary democracy, equality of men and women and a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect, tolerance, fair play and compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good.

  • Australian society values equality of opportunity for individuals, regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background

  • English language, as the national language, is an important unifying element of Australian society.

Australian Citizenship

  • Australian citizenship is a shared identity, a common bond which unites all Australians while respecting their diversity

  • Australian citizenship involves reciprocal rights and responsibilities. The responsibilities of Australian Citizenship include obeying Australian laws, including those relating to voting at elections and serving on a jury.

How you interpret that is up to you. That's what the government expects of applicants for provisional, permanent and a small number of temporary visas are required to have read and signed.
