Out of every 10 Australians, 8 agree that immigrants better their society by bringing new cultures and ideas.

Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Minister David Coleman said that Australia has a proud immigration history. What is important is the contribution made by the immigrants and not their nation of origin, he added.

The Minister explained that one more factor for our success is the dedication of new citizens for our shared values. These are equal opportunity, rule of law, freedom, and democracy. This is irrespective of the religion, race, gender or cultural background, said Coleman.

David Coleman said that the government continues to develop the success of multiculturalism. This is by focusing on an immigration system based on skills to cater to the needs of the economy of Australia, he added.
