Immigration and Multiculturalism Forum

On Tuesday 11 September 2007 I hosted an Immigration and Multiculturalism Forum at Parliament House. Over 130 people attended to discuss Labor's policies regarding  immigration and multicultural affairs.

Mr Tony Burke MP, Shadow Minister for Immigration, Integration and Citizenship, and Mr Laurie Ferguson, Shadow Minister for Multicultural Affairs, addressed the forum and answered participants questions.

Here are some immigration and multiculturalism links you might find useful:
