I thank the member for Reid for his question and note his very deep involvement in Australia's multicultural communities and his passionate advocacy for Australians from all backgrounds and walks of life.

After the Second World War, we saw a huge wave of migration to Australia—immigrants from Greece, Italy, the former Yugoslavia and so many other places around the world.
