ESALG members were asked to speak on a wide range of topics relating to community language programs and engagement with government, when they addressed the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs Inquiry into language learning in Indigenous communities. Bridget Priman and Faith Baisden represented ESALG at the hearing in Parliament House Brisbane on the 6th October. They are pictured talking about resources with Chair of the committee Mr. Shayne Neumann and Deputy Chair Dr. Sharman Stone.
