> Greens Senator Kerry Nettle today called for the Prime Minister to
> embrace our migrant community and promote the values of
> multiculturalism to Australia.
> 
> "Comments that single out one element of a community for criticism are
> damaging to multiculturalism and therefore the broader Australian
> community," Senator Nettle said.
> 
> "The biggest threat to Australia's multicultural success is the
> ill-informed attitude of the Prime Minister, not the behaviour of any
> single migrant group."
> 
> "The Muslim community are no different from any other community and
> are making a great contribution to Australian society.
> 
> "The Green recognise multiculturalism is an ongoing project for all
> Australians, not a simple case of one group learning the language of
> another"
