‘THE Gillard Government will beef up a campaign supporting multiculturalism in the face of what is seen as growing resistance to new arrivals.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen tonight revealed the campaign would salute what he called “the genius of Australian multiculturalism”.
The Government will create a new independent organisation, the Australian Multicultural Council, and ACT senator Kate Lundy will be made parliamentary secretary in charge of managing multicultural programs.
The fresh emphasis on the policy comes amid growing public hostility towards asylum seekers, and against significant population growth through immigration.
There also is apprehension that the increasing number of Muslim migrants will produce big cultural changes, and even the introduction of Islamic-based legal codes.
..”We will also establish a National Anti-Racism Partnership and Strategy to design and deliver an anti-racism strategy.”
Note to Gillard and gang: Up yours. See you at the polls, where we’ll see how much Australians want a propaganda unit forcing this crap on them.
