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.
@B2BLP7N2wks2W
Yes, if they are found not to be actively trying to learn or have not improve after 3 months, they should be deported.
@B27XB5T 3wks3W
Yes, if they plan to work in the community. Government should provide free & subsidised programs for those who need it.
@9KB69QM11mos11MO
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.
@9K7ZDJR11mos11MO
No, this should be purely based on the individual's comfortability with learning a new language. For obvious reasons, it would be highly effective to learn the main language of ANY country as to better navigate and access that area's atmosphere and culture. However, it is entirely subjective. If one does not want to learn the language - for example, English - then that is entirely up to their own vices.
@9K7FW3Q 11mos11MO
No, but more free courses and opportunities to learn English should be encouraged as part of a 'settlement scheme'.
@9K45HKF 11mos11MO
Not an obligation, more so a strong suggestion with assistance provided should they wish to learn or improve.
@9JWXQBN11mos11MO
Yes, but they shouldn't have to if they don't want to. Cheap programs should be available to any immigrant wanting to learn English to make their life easier in Australia.
