I speak in support of Senator Daly. I had a communication last year from a young woman who had been in school who did brilliantly in mathematics and failed in English. The reason turned out to be that she had an interpreter for the maths class but there was no interpreter for the English class. This illustrates perfectly the need to give people the opportunity to have interpreters in classes.
