MULTICULTURALISM IN AUSTRALIA IS REFLECTED BY THE CUTURAL MOSAIC OF THE COMPOSITION OF ITS PEOPLE, ITS POLICIES CONCERNING IMMIGRATION, ITS GOVERNMENTAL PROSCRIPTION ON DISCRIMINATION, EQUALITY, AND CULTURAL POLICIES WHICH PROMOTE DIVERSITY.

THE CENSUS IN 2011 CALCULATED THAT 26% OF THE POPULATION WERE BORN OVERSEAS, AND ANOTHER 20% HAD AT LEAST ONE PARENT BORN OVERSEAS.  ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS MAKE UP AROUND 2.5% OF THE POPULATION. MIGRANT COMMUNITIES HAVE BROUGHT TO AUSTRALIA DIVERSE FOODS, AND LIFESTYLE AND CULTURAL PRACTICES, WHICH HAVE BEEN ABSORBED INTO MAINSTREAM AUSTRALIAN CULTURE.

A MINTAGE OF 1,000 WAS PLANNED FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT ONLY 22 WERE PRODUCED!
