As I didn't know what it is, you were right. I didn't take any Ritalin, but it isn't mine to take.
I take it you're familiar with that drug? I won't ask why.

Educated in what drugs are for what conditions? That's a specialist type of education, not common knowledge.
Only people suffering or caring for sufferers, from such conditions would be aware of its existence and use.

Again, you are totally wrong. I stick by my last quote.
Dual language would be a bad sign of a fractured society but acceptable.
The Green Party video I saw had a voiceover in Urdu and some squiggles on the screen that I assume were Urdu subtitles. Not a trace of the main language of this country anywhere. Plus it was all lies.
Which begs the question... why are there so many here who hardly speak a word of English?
Are they all fleeing warzones, or did they just sneak in illegally?
That's a good point.
I had originally assumed that the video was just an Urdu translation of the main video produced in English.
But it looks like it might have been a different one entirely, written specifically for Muslims.
It was, I did see a version with english subtitles that had been added by someone else.
It was all about how the Greens would specifically benefit Muslims, definitely not for consumption of their English-speaking voters.
They can say one thing in English and something completely different in Urdu, make different and sometimes conflicting promises to different supporters.
They're a scam party, they'll promise anyone whatever they want to hear just to get into power.
I think there's a variety of factors. The language requirement probably wasn't as strict in decades gone by. Also, I believe the language requirement is lower for family visas than work visas, and also there seem to be exceptions for elderly relatives.
Yep, the country's stuffed full of various exceptions.
Oh the irony……
Just own the fact that Re form were well and truly beaten by a hippy chick candidate who, shock horror, was a peace and love woman. All Far rage’s wingeing has achieved is to make himself appear part of the establishment elite, not an alternative to it.
Do you have any concerns about a different message being given to one part of the electorate.
It’s what all politicians do, the language is irrelevant. Sour grapes from loser Re formers. Nige is often at odds with his own party’s policies. Trump campaign ads target different voter groups. Making Farragistes angry won’t get the votes in, only policy changes will.
