Australia's multicultural agenda has been under the spotlight. While migrants became an election issue, recent comments by European politicians about the failure of multiculturalism seemed to resonate with Australians. In this video, economist and Former Leader of the Opposition, Dr John Hewson, talks about Australia's vision of multiculturalism and whether we can create a government and policy structure that can succeed where others have failed.
This video was recorded at The Australian National University on 17 March 2011.
Dr John Hewson is an economic and financial expert with experience in academia, business, government, media and the financial system. He was a member of parliament for eight years, four of which were as Leader of the Liberal Party and Federal Coalition in Opposition for four years. Since leaving politics in early 1995, Dr Hewson has run his own private investment banking business and was, until December 2004, a Member of the Advisory Council of ABN AMRO, having previously been Chairman of the Bank. In addition he is Chairman of Osteoporosis Australia and Arthritis Research Taskforce. He is also a Director of a number of other companies. Dr Hewson also writes an opinion column for the Australian Financial Review and is a Panellist on the Sky News Agenda program.

Honestly, that man said nothing. He didn't even talk about the meat of multiculturalism, only spoke as though *proper* legislation is key to of it works or not, even though he didn't give a single concrete example of why or how it failed or succeeded!
It takes a lot of education to say so little over the course of half an hour.

Every public announcement on multiculturalism must be, ultimately, a ringing endorsement. Yet when analysed critically multiculturalism is a thoroughly bankrupt dogma.
