Prime Minister, stop praising multiculturalism
Augusto Zimmermann The Spectator
‘What do Australia’s founding fathers and cultural diversity have in common? Both celebrate this country’s great multiculturalism’, Scott Morrison believes. The Prime Minister last week visited a Buddhist temple in Berwick to bring news of a $280,000 grant for a language and religious school the local Sri Lankan community is building there. He noted approvingly that Sri Lanka, like Australia, is a ‘multicultural, multi-faith nation’.
Multiculturalism has done a lot of “good” for Sri Lanka as the latest terrorist attacks on Easter Sunday so vividly demonstrate. And yet, the Morrison talks of the strength of Australia as a ‘multicultural’ nation, where all cultures must be celebrated and promoted by the government.
I respectfully disagree.
May I humbly suggest that our Christian Prime Minister stop promoting “multiculturalism” and instead promote the Judeo-Christian culture of Western democracy which has given the world outstanding examples of freedom and prosperity.
Christianity is the most traditional religion and culture of Australia. Christianity has unquestionably played a central role in the development of democracy and the rule of law in this nation. To ignore such an obvious fact results in a diminished understanding of our national identity.

And yet, the Christian image of Australia has already been damaged by the state-imposed ideology of multiculturalism, which is in essence an ideological movement opposed to the western concepts of democratic principles, culture, and identity. It is basically an anti-Western and an anti-Christian ideology.
Indeed, radical multiculturalists look forward to a time when Australia may never again be culturally united, if united means unified in beliefs and practise, and to a time when Australians will be less a culturally definable group. Such a multiculturalism encourages immigrants to maintain their birth country cultures and religion, granting these individuals privileges which are denied to native-born Australians, and denounce the idea of integration as “un-Australian”.
The combined effect of these efforts is to promote the complete deconstruction of the Australian cultural identity. This loss of cultural identity may cause our nation to fragment into enclaves of religion and/or ethnicity.
Take for instance the traditional cultural manifestation of Islam. In such a religious culture, no priority is given to democracy, free speech or religious freedom. Hence, if a Muslim immigrant is told to celebrate such a culture, then he will almost certainly revert to a form of religious experience that is antagonistic to the values and principles of our western democracy.
