The challenges of immigration and integration in Australia and the European Union

Abstract

[Conclusion] : Australian society has been built on the fundamental principles of fairness and decency and the premise that opportunity should be equally available to all, regardless of background, gender, race or religion. These values have formed an essential foundation on which Australia has been able to be transformed into one of the world's most successful, culturally-diverse, democratic, national communities. Australians have every reason to be proud of our accomplishments as a multicultural nation. Australian multiculturalism will continue to contribute towards Australian development, based firmly on the foundation of our democratic system and respect for Australia law. Australia has reaped rich rewards from migration throughout its history. Migration will continue to play an important role in our future.
