Multiculturalism in Australia - Gone!

Australia has apparently dropped official multiculturalism. If only Canadian politicians had similar sense, and nerve. My e-mail to Jason Kenney today:

Jason Kenney
Secretary of State (Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity)

Dear Jason,

According to The Daily Telegraph today:

PRIME Minister John Howard officially scrapped multiculturalism today as he sacked Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone and renamed her old department.

The Australian approach to multicultualism seems most sensible. We should consider doing something similar.

Not that I want to see you out of work, I just think your considerable talents could be put to more profitable use.

Sincerely,
