As Australia decides on its future at the upcoming election on November 24th, there are few better times for Australians to reflect on our understanding of the values that unite us as a people, and what it actually means to be an Australian. This forum will offer members of the University and the wider community an opportunity to listen to a range of views on one of our proudest hallmarks - a Multicultural society. Key areas of discussion include the current citizenship test and its implications to the social order, the significance of integration and influence of media reporting on government policy.
