Stand up for multicultural Australia

The Turnbull Government's attacks on our multicultural society could see thousands of migrants forced to take additional, costly and unnecessary English language tests before being able to become permanent residents.¹

It's the latest in a long list of announcements targeting migrant communities by a Government desperate to appeal to Pauline Hanson voters. It's an alarming pattern — and one that threatens the very fabric of our multicultural community.

With politicians back in Canberra, the Turnbull Government could push these cruel and unnecessary changes through as early as next week.

But they can only do that if the community allows it — and they've got another thing coming.

If thousands of us pledge our support for multiculturalism, we can call on our Parliament to reject the Coalition's pandering to Hanson's voters and vote down proposals that discriminate against migrants.

Can you stand up for multiculturalism in the face of these attacks?
