The Dictation Test Radical Czech writer Egon Kisch came to Australia in 1934 for an anti-war conference. Prohibited from landing in Melbourne, Kisch jumped from his ship to the wharf and broke his leg. He was arrested and bundled back on board. Kisch, fluent in several European languages, was given a dictation test in Sydney in Scottish Gaelic. He failed. The High Court ruled that Scottish Gaelic was not a European language, and he was able to tour Australia. |
