Australia has an increasingly multicultural society.

In Australia, we cling on to whatever culture we have. We're such a multicultural country.

Australia has embraced migrants from all different races, making us one of the most multiracial nations on earth. Most have assimilated and are proud to call themselves Australians, accepting our culture, beliefs and laws. I welcome them from the bottom of my heart. As they integrate and assimilate, the disruption caused by diversity diminishes.

One of the great things about Sydney is that it has a great acceptance of everyone and everything. It's an incredibly tolerant city, a city with a huge multicultural basis.

It's got more cosmopolitan, and it's lost its uniqueness, but Australia is still a great place.

I definitely love Australia. I've been to Sydney and Melbourne a couple of times, and I love those places.

It's a great privilege and an honour to have the experiences and opportunities that I do to meet extraordinary Australians right across our country who share a great generosity of spirit.

I love Australia. I love the people there; they are fantastic. The business opportunities are endless.

I've been to Australia several times, and I just like the earthiness; it's part of the culture. That's a really good vibe to be around.

While Melbourne and Sydney fight about who wears Australia's cultural crown, Canberra just gets on with it.
