Liberal Divide on Multiculturalism | Australia News
Description
Tony Abbott sparks controversy with a fiery critique of multiculturalism, blaming it for failing to integrate immigrants who don’t share Australian values — citing the Bondi Beach attack as proof. But not all Liberals agree: Senator Andrew Bragg firmly pushes back, arguing multiculturalism was born from liberal ideals and pointing to the party’s own history under Menzies, Holt, and Fraser as proof. While Abbott’s role as party president is largely ceremonial, his comments still shape messaging — and Bragg, though not his spokesperson, insists Abbott’s views are his own, even if they clash with the party’s legacy.
