During a question time in Australia’s House of Representatives, Labor ministers criticise opposition leader Angus Taylor over his position on multiculturalism after he repeatedly refused to directly endorse it. ABC reports Taylor is pressed multiple times on whether his party still supports multiculturalism or backs Pauline Hanson’s call for a “monoculture” in Australia, and he does not commit to either view. In the Guardian reports, Treasurer Jim Chalmers accuses Taylor of trying to “out-One Nation One Nation” after Taylor declined to define or embrace Australia’s multicultural society. Chalmers also argues that Labor recognises the “vast and important contribution” made by multicultural Australia. The Guardian says Taylor faces further scrutiny after Hanson’s National Press Club comments that multiculturalism has failed and Australia should be monocultural. The Guardian also reports Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responds by saying Taylor appears to long for a past period that “has never existed” in Australia. Labor ministers state they will back multiculturalism, while Taylor continues to avoid stating whether he supports it or rejects Hanson’s framing.
