Dear RNLDers,<br><br>The 25 submissions received to date by the <i>Inquiry into language learning in Indigenous communities</i> can be downloaded from the <a href="http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/atsia/languages/submissions.htm">Inquiry web site</a>.<br>
<br>This is an important opportunity so make sure your voice is heard too. The Secretariat is still open to giving extensions for submissions. If you wish to request an extension or if you need more information, contact the Secretariat by telephone on (02) 6277 4559 or by email <<a href="mailto:atsia.reps@aph.gov.au">atsia.reps@aph.gov.au</a>>.<br>
<br>A reminder that Jane Simpson (ANU) has created a proforma of useful topics which can be
adapted in a submission to the Inquiry. You can download the proforma from RNLD's <a href="http://www.rnld.org/advocacy">advocacy web page</a> as a text file or PDF.
Please draw on the points in the proforma if they are helpful, but do include the
details of your own situation, or concerns that you are familiar with as that’s more useful to the Committee.<br><br>kind regards,<br>Margaret<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Resource Network for Linguistic Diversity<br>
