"A year ago, the government instigated an independent review of the national
multicultural framework.

As more than half of Australia’s population is either born overseas or has one
parent who was, this policy is important. It underpins how multiculturalism
works in almost every part of life. It aims to ensure equity and inclusion for
people from minority groups, and attempts to whittle away at structural racism.

Now the review report has been released. This comes against a backdrop of
growing antisemitism and Islamophobia in Australia, as well as the fallout from
the failed Voice to Parliament referendum and the vicious racism many
communities experienced during the COVID crisis.

The report includes 29 recommendations for improving Australia’s multicultural
society. The government has committed $100 million over the next four years to
implement the recommendations, though it is still working through the details
and timeline. Here’s what it found."
