Reconciliation

As this is my second only posting I would like begin by acknowledging the Indigenous Custodians of the land on which I live and work.

Australia originally had more than 200 language groups speaking a total of more than 650 dialects. Many of these languages no longer exist, however there are over 200 new languages that have been introduced to Australia. Our government insists that everyone can speak and is literate in just ONE language....... ENGLISH.
