This is my grandfather. He arrived in Australia in 1898 a penniless Russian Jewish emigre. He did not speak a word of English. You might know him as Sidney Myer. He went on to build the biggest retailing company in Australia and created more jobs than any other Australian. https://twitter.com/alantudgemp/status/1313942043006128129
Your socalled English language test is an obscenity and deeply offensive to Australia’s extraordinary multicultural heritage of which my grandfather was such a proud part.
And for the record @AlanTudgeMP he taught himself English by chatting with his customers as he walked around Victoria carrying his hawker’s box on his back. Would you have refused him entry to this country? Fool
