I would be more than happy to discuss my experiences in my area within South Australia because there was wave after wave of migrants of non-English-speaking people coming in and residing, studying and working in and around Adelaide’s western suburbs. This is a phenomenon that has happened for the better part of half a century in the electorate of Hindmarsh. It was evident when I was a child. I was the son of people who migrated as newcomers to this country. I attended school at Cowandilla Primary School and every week it had loads of people enrolling at school that could not speak a word of English, that were brand-new arrivals. And this is continuing today at Cowandilla Primary School.
