The neo-Stalinist, looney Left (aka the Greens) have mastered the Orwellian Newspeak: unity is divisive, diversity is cohesion:

"Coalition focus on common values lashed"
LABOR and the Greens have attacked opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison's calls for Australia to move beyond multiculturalism to focus social policy on a stronger national identity.

Greens multiculturalism spokesman Richard Di Natale accused Mr Morrison of exploiting a "tired old" Coalition policy.

"Scott Morrison tried to dress up division in the language of unity and sought to lay blame for any cultural tensions on newly arrived migrants," Senator Di Natale said.

In a speech delivered in Britain on Thursday night, Mr Morrison said Labor's multicultural policy gave too much emphasis to diversity "as an end in itself".He promised the Coalition would "explicitly recognise the supremacy of Australian values, the primacy of the English language, respect of existing institutions and adherence to the rule of law".

what you all seem focused upon is not diversity...  it is plurality....
seems the only people in the world considered our species are Christian and Muslim.  Roll Eyes How ethnocentric is that.?!

That is just so narrow-minded, that it is funny to hear all this 'speak' under the topic  Celebrate Diversity.

You might not realise it,  but there are many many many many more faiths in Australia.  Your fixation with C v M completely excludes all the wonderful people who think of both C's and M's as sadly misguided.

Have to admit, someone did mention Chinese,  but not in context,  and Norwegian , about a tragedy that didn't happen here...but dragged in C v M.  Jeez!!?

Diversity is here to stay, and I for one believe any culture  ( or in our case,  budding culture)  can only benefit from lots of new ideas... why do you all cling so fearfully to C v M ??.... the world is a big place,  and lots of the world's variety of peoples are striving to create a better new life here.
Don't be so fearful ..so biased,... it must make you feel more in control I suppose ? ...  but enlightened folk realise that this type of attempt at fascist control is negative and can only have a destructive affect on our culture...

Ever thought of a different approach??

Celebrate it and EMBRACE it.  Smiley

Celebrating diversity by pretending everyone's just like you!!

Alas, not every culture fetishises diversity. Actually, only one does. Can you guess which one?

Television news footage last week showed incidents filmed on a mobile phone on a Saturday night, in the borough of Waltham Forest, of men shouting “This is a Muslim area” at white Britons.
The video commentary stated: “From women walking the street dressed like complete naked animals with no self-respect, to drunk people carrying alcohol, we try our best to capture and forbid it all.”
Another scene showed hooded youths forcing a man to drop his can of lager, telling him they were the “Muslim patrol” and that alcohol is a “forbidden evil”. The gang then approached a group of white girls enjoying a good night out, telling them to “forbid themselves from dressing like this and exposing themselves outside the mosque”.
Worse, though, is film footage from last week, thought to have been taken in Commercial Street, Whitechapel, which showed members of a group who also called themselves a “Muslim patrol” harassing a man who appeared to be wearing make‑up, calling him a “bloody fag”. In the video posted on YouTube last week, the passer-by is told he is “walking through a Muslim area dressed like a fag” and ordered to get out. Last Thursday, police were reported to have arrested five “vigilantes” suspected of homophobic abuse.
There are, of course, other Europeans in my area who may share my feelings but I’m not able to talk to them easily about this situation as they are mostly immigrants, too. At Christmas I spoke to an elderly white woman about the lack of parsnips in the local greengrocer, but she turned out to have no English and I was left grumbling to myself.
Poles have settled in Ealing since the Second World War and are well assimilated, but since 2004 about 370,000 east Europeans have arrived in London. Almost half the populations of nearby Ealing and Hammersmith were born outside the UK. Not surprisingly, at my bus stop I rarely hear English spoken. I realise that we can’t return to the time when buses were mainly occupied by white ladies in their best hats and gloves going shopping, but I do feel nostalgic for the days when a journey on public transport didn’t leave me feeling as if I have only just arrived in a strange country myself.

And in Sydney:

NSW Police acting Organised Crime director Arthur Katsogiannis said it was vital the city's Middle Eastern community broke down the "wall of silence" surrounding the recent crimes. "They know who's got the guns, they know who's using them and concealing them," he said. "We need their co-operation to stop that because it could be their son or daughter who is shot.

"If you want to stand back as a community and allow these people to use guns, then you are going to suffer the consequences."
...
Keysar Trad, of the Sydney-based Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, questioned the call for greater co-operation with police. "This is a policing matter. I don't know who has got the guns and that would go for most of the community," he said.

What? You can't  read a cookbook?

And anyway, why is it that defenders of diversity can never ever think of anything but food as an illustration of the benefits of it.

Eating and fooking are no proper grounds for an immigration policy unless you are a monkey.

Why not? We let cheese-dealing bottoms like you in.

Are there other services you provide that we’re unaware of?
