Young multicultural Australians: It’s okay to say "No" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes disengagement may be a perfectly sensible response to the terms on which communities are asked to engage, writes Carl Gopalkrishnan. THERE IS A LOT OF ANXIETY at the moment about plagiarism, artificial intelligence and the theft of intellectual property. Artists, writers and academics are rightly asking what happens when somebody takes your work, your ideas or your words and turns them into something from which they benefit. Before AI started swallowing our words and images, multicultu
Jason Arday's brutal death a warning for multicultural Australia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jason Arday’s death is a stark warning of the human cost when multiculturalism and those who embody it become targets of political and media culture wars, writes Carl Gopalkrishnan.

What Labor MP Ed Husic actually said was: “ They can put me in the freezer. I don’t give a shit.” It's a glorious sentence. Not because politicians should swear more often. Australians have never needed encouragement on that front. It's glorious because, for a brief moment, a politician stopped speaking politics. The me
Why multiculturalism needs recovering, not reinventing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Australia's multicultural success now depends on reconnecting public policy with the lived experiences and relationships that gave it meaning, writes Carl Gopalkrishnan. I HAVE WORKED in and around multicultural Australia since its inception. During that time, I have watched communities change, governments change and multiculturalism itself change.
