Observation

While Australians are roughly divided in their views about the current migration intake, they are overwhelmingly positive about Australia’s cultural diversity, a product of decades of immigration. Nine in ten (90%) think Australia’s culturally diverse population has been either ‘mostly positive’ (69%) or ‘entirely positive’ (21%) for Australia. Only a very small minority (9%) say the country’s culturally diverse population has been ‘mostly negative’, and almost none (1%) say it has been ‘entirely negative’.
