A FILM showing a woman strolling topless along a beach and gay men kissing in a park is part of a contentious new entry test for would-be settlers in The Netherlands. The Dutch decision to make some migration applicants watch the DVD as a supposed barometer of tolerance is one of the more extreme examples of Europe's backlash against outsiders and Muslims in particular.
Australians are exempt from the test, as are citizens from the European Union, the US, New Zealand, Canada, Japan and Switzerland, and asylum-seekers and skilled workers on high incomes."
