To strengthen
multiculturalism in Australia
Undoubtedly, Australia is a multicultural nation,
yet we are not ready to make this feature as our
edge. The 2021 National Census preliminary result
just came out.
Unsurprisingly, our national population has
increased by two million since 2016, headcount with
parents born overseas has almost doubles, and over
a quarter of the population was born overseas. So,
it is unrealistic to say Australia is still a British-type
western country.
Truly social fabrics and systems in Australia
were once built on British colonialism; but due to
the influx of Asian and other immigrants with their
next generation over the past 20-30 years, Australia
has become a unique multicultural country. Like
Singapore we work on a democratic social system,
and on top we have freedom and human right that
make here more appealing. The combination of
these perfect social values with good living style has
attracted settlers around the world.
The government has to acknowledge that
some of these immigrants are non-English speaking
thus they should not be left aside on their own.
They need information resources to help them
integrate into the community, Chinese forms the
bulk of this group. The government should not
see this as a burden but rather as an edge in a
way that more Australians would pick up Chinese
as a second language so that more connections
and communications between Australians and
Chinese be possible. This would definitely be able
to enhance the competitiveness of Australians by
making them more connections with the second
largest economy power of the world.
At the same time, the government must
promote the awareness and acceptance of Chinese
immigrants in the core values of democracy,
freedom and human right, in order to maintain
the coherence and stability of the society. People
with Chinese ethnicity come from different Asian
countries, they themselves are multicultural and
can accommodate varieties, this would further
enrich the multiculturalism of this country. Australia
should not take all Chinese with cultural varieties
as the stereotype of the Communist China whose
values are in conflict with Australian’s. Instead, the
government should support and develop Chinese
multiculturism, so as to help Chinese coming out
from totalitarian territory in embracing the values of
multicultural Australia.
To allow an independent Chinese community
media serving Chinese here more effectively can
help them free from social media from another
country making long term impact on their thinking
and value. Amid a tense Australian-Chinese
relationship, our government should actively support
local independent Chinese community media.
