Ingram, David E.
Babel: Journal of the Australian Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations, (Special Edition) v18 n3 p3-36 1983
Outlines national language policy for Australia, taking into account the culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse society, as well as role of English and uses of other languages in the community. Since English is the dominant language, all citizens and permanent residents have a right to learn it to level of proficiency that meets their personal, social and vocational needs. (SL)
