What is multiculturalism in Australia?

  1. The acceptance and celebration of cultural diversity, where people from different backgrounds contribute to Australian society
  2. A policy requiring immigrants to adopt Australian customs immediately
  3. A government program providing services in multiple languages

Why this is the correct answer

Australia's multicultural policy recognises that people from many backgrounds can maintain their cultural identity while fully participating in Australian society. Rather than requiring assimilation, it celebrates diversity as a national strength.
