Australian Values › Australian Values
What attitude should Australians have toward people of different backgrounds?
- Indifference to cultural differences
- Preference for those from English-speaking countries
- Respect and acceptance of all people regardless of background, as part of Australian multicultural values
- Tolerance only if they share Australian cultural practices
Why this is the correct answer
Australia is a multicultural nation that values and celebrates people from all backgrounds, and Australian law protects against discrimination based on race, ethnicity or national origin. Genuine respect and acceptance of diversity — not mere tolerance — is a core expectation of life in Australia.
