My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs. The Multicultural Framework Review is a generational reform agenda requiring a whole-of-government and community approach that will position Australia realise its full potential as a nation made up of many cultures, faiths and lived experiences. We often rightly call out antisemitism and Islamophobia, but too rarely racism—and, especially, racist policy. The review called on the government and all citizens to actively combat racism, which is still experienced by far too many. How will you ensure policies do not prejudice and lead to vilification of minority groups?
