Australia the largest island continent in the world has now broken the twenty-three million people population barrier. At the end of World War 2 people whose lives were wrecked through war, politics and racism, many of them displaced persons, sought it out as a haven of freedom, refuge and opportunities. There were also those who wished to escape the ravages of poverty and bleak futures for their children, many coming from Italy and Greece. Australia became a robust multicultural society with some two hundred different nationalities, all aussies. Migration brings to the surface problems and hardships. People domiciled in Australia gave assistance, yet even in the seventies (evidently) much more had to be done. A small group of people, both native Australian and migrants, wanted to contribute towards alleviating the various distressing situations. A paper was researched, and this became a booklet called IEM English for migrants in Australia, widely distributed to educators and governments. It contained submissions and ideas that ranged from migrant language education, social integration and telephone services to ethnic Radio and TV. This publication contains the original IEM booklet with expanded explanations to highlight its contribution to the migrant story of Australia.

THE LIFE-CHANGING NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • MORE THAN TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD • Now in a 10th anniversary edition featuring a new introduction and bonus 21-day challenge. “Essentialism holds the keys to solving one of the great puzzles of life: How can we do less but accomplish more?”—Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin? Are you often busy but not productive? Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist. Essentialism is more than a time-management technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter. By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for where to spend our precious time and energy, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices, instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing to do. It’s a whole new way of doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Join the millions of people who have used Essentialism to change their outlook on the world.
