Political:

All government assistance should be cut to migrants who do not learn English, a policy report written by the Federal Opposition Liberal Party says. The plan has outraged migrants, but I think it is fair - if you come to settle in an English speaking country you should learn the language.

Business:

Sport:

Social:
