People take huge risks to uproot their lives in order to come here to enjoy the freedoms and opportunities Australia has to offer.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">People do not come here to fail, but to succeed. And for generations, many have done just that.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Migrants have made and continue to make an enormous contribution to the success of our nation. They have helped build modern Australia, making it what it is today. I have often said that Australia is the most successful multicultural nation in the world.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Our success has been firmly based on integration. Over the decades people from all over the world have come to Australia, adopted our values, shared our loyalties and contributed to our society. Migrants have enriched the social, economic and cultural life of our nation.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">While we come from many culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, no one is expected to stop speaking their native language or give up their cultural heritage. In fact, we recognise the immense value in being bilingual and in retaining or acquiring multiple languages, not just for social and cultural reasons, but also for economic reasons. Cultural and linguistic skills play an important role in doing business with our overseas partners, and a linguistic advantage is invaluable.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">It is also important for Australians, particularly children, to learn languages other than English. All States and Territories offer a language-other-than-English program with it being compulsory in some states. Recently, the Turnbull Government introduced language study at the pre-school level. The study of languages can have enormous cognitive benefits.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Learning English also delivers enormous benefits to newly arrived migrants because it helps with settlement, integration and with finding a job.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As our national language, English is a shared form of understanding. It impacts all areas of life \u2013 from gaining meaningful employment to connecting with the broader community.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A shared common language is the glue to a cohesive society. Without a common language, how do we speak to our neighbour? How do we understand each other? How can we successfully work together? If we cannot communicate, it is difficult to integrate.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This is important, because being part of the broader community helps newly arrived migrants to integrate well and settle into life in Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">That is not to say that a person cannot have a great life and make a terrific contribution to Australia while speaking little or no English.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This is an important message which I have discussed over the past six months in consultations with multicultural communities across the country. The feedback, I have received from many migrants on the importance of English language skills has been overwhelmingly positive. Community leaders have repeatedly told me they are supportive of the need to increase the capability of migrants to speak English.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Australian Multicultural Foundation believes that learning English language is key to breaking down barriers, promoting integration, removing the fear of the unknown and providing employment.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Australian Government is helping migrants to improve their English skills. We offer free English classes through the Adult Migrant English Program. New migrants can access 510 hours of English language classes if they have below functional English. In some cases they can access 1,000 hours. This year we will spend over $300 million on this program \u2013 an increase of more than $50 million since we came to office.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Not all migrants, however take up the offer of free classes to improve their English. For example, a study of humanitarian migrants showed that one third were not doing English classes three to six months after arriving in Australia.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Government has therefore been examining how to create more incentives for residents to boost their English capacity, particularly before becoming a citizen. We are currently examining different options with a focus on basic conversational, primary school level English.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As we know as part of the ageing process, many elderly migrants who may have in fact learned to speak English quite often revert back to their mother tongue. People aged over 60 (or under 16) will not be effected by any proposed changes to English language requirements.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">We are committed to ensuring we continue to place migrants in the centre of Australian life, not on the fringes. We want them to thrive and prosper.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A successful life in Australia requires the ability retain and celebrate one\u2019s cultural and linguistic heritage but importantly also to communicate in our shared language &#8211; English.<br \/>\n<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26399 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Alan-Tudge-Headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"438\" height=\"291\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>The Hon Alan Tudge MP \u2013 Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE HON ALAN TUDGE MP MINISTER FOR CITIZENSHIP AND MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS OPINION PIECE 26 June 2018 BUILDING ON AUSTRALIA\u2019S MIGRANT SUCCESS STORY Migrating to a new country can be an enormous gamble.
