Australias multiculturalism

 

            A nation first known to the Aboriginals who migrated from Asia was first invaded by a fleet of just over 1000 convicts and soldiers form Great Britain. From this day Australia was built up as a Multicultural society and now has a population of just over 17 million people with 20% of people living in Australia were born in another country. Today the aboriginal population is less than 1.5% with over half being under the age of 25 years. Australians speak more than 100 languages other than English in the homes, streets, schools, shops and workplaces of our nation. 4% of children use a second language at home. Australia is now an established Multiculturalised society.
             If Australia was to remove the Italians, Greeks, Vietnamese, Chinese, Germans, Arabians, Maltese, Hungarian, British and all of the other cultures that are living in our society then Australia would be left with a small population of Aboriginals and Torres Straight Islanders. This removal would never happen, as it is impossible and illegal.
             Australia will always be made up of a nation with hundreds of different cultures and if we work together we can sort out Australia's minor problems and then we can live as a free individual but Multiculturalised nation. I believe for this to happen we will need to cut our ties with the queen of "England". This would give us true independence and would make us feel more like a nation rather than a country with many different cultures within it.
             I believe Australia's population will build up substantially over the next few years because for people living overseas, Australia is a very attractive nation. Its levels of peace and calm make us look like the perfect country. Which I believe we are close to being if only we could wipe out racism we would then be the "perfect country". Australia's location is so far away from all of the world's troubles that it is hard for our nation to get involved and into trouble.
