How can you hope to integrate if you don’t speak English? Pauline got a very strange question from an SBS journalist at her big media event earlier this week. The journalist said that SBS provides news in over 60 languages. According to the journalist in question, this was meant to help integration! In response, Pauline made it clear that no one should be allowed to permanently settle in Australia unless they speak English. Clearly, this must be an absolute prerequisite.

Earlier in her speech, Pauline pointed out that the 2021 Census revealed that 872,000 people self-declared that they either didn’t speak English at all or spoke it very poorly. Moreover, 23% of households didn’t use English at home. The English language is the glue that binds our society together. If you want to make Australia your home, you must speak and write English fluently. One might have thought this was obvious, but sadly nothing is obvious under this failing Labor government.
