I don’t believe anyone should be forced to but I also don’t believe it’s them on the government to bend over backward to accommodate to everyone outside of the most common languages.

I don't think they should be made to learn English, but I do believe that is should be recommended to help the immigrants assimilate, and as such government should provide free language learning courses.

They should not be forced to learn English but rather encouraged and given opportunities to learn it by the federal government.

 @B3R5KQRanswered…3wks3W

With free government lessons and assistance. It must never be forced and different languages and cultures need to be embraced

 @B3NKN8Danswered…4wks4W

No, but still provide free English language services, as it is near impossible for individuals with limited to no English to live and access services.

 @B3JHP3Vanswered…4wks4W

It should be encouraged and accessible, but not strictly required - the government should provide free language learning courses

 @B3F3DYHanswered…1mo1MO

What kind of question is that? If they need to they will, otherwise they won't get very far, but that's their choice

 @B3CRNFDanswered…1mo1MO

If English is necessary for the persons employment or reason for coming to Australia they should be required to learn it, however if not I don’t think there is reason for it to be required.
