The scholarly literature on Australian multi- culturalism has tended to come from cultural studies and the empirical social sciences. To redress this lacuna, a workshop, Australian Marco Del Grande Multiculturalism and Political Theory: Balancing Rights and Responsibilities in a Diverse Society, was held at UNSW in July. It brought together some of Australia’s leading political theorists and other scholars to examine Australian multicultural policy from the perspective of the concerns and arguments developed in multicultural political theory. The workshop was sponsored by the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia, the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, and the faculties of Law and Arts and Social Sciences.

  • Legislative Assembly
    9031 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 11 October 2000 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Henry Murray) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. SYDNEY 2000 OLYMPIC GAMES Debate resumed from 10 October. Mr KNIGHT (Campbelltown—Minister for the Olympics) [10.00 a.m.]: Like the overwhelming majority of members of this House and indeed the community in general, I wholeheartedly endorse the sentiments of the motion. In my case, I had the enormous privilege of being able to lead the Sydney 2000 team. That also meant that I have been fortunate enough to have a number of opportunities in other places to express sentiments similar to those in the motion before the House, such as being able to speak at the closing ceremony and being able to talk to a number of people and groups mentioned in the motion. I was also able to do press conferences on the last day at the main press centre, with international media as well as domestic media, and similarly at the Sydney media centre on the Sunday of the closing ceremony. I was lucky enough to be able to talk to volunteers at the parade and a number of other venues, to go out with President Samaranch quite early in the piece to the Tennis Centre to thank a large group of volunteers there, and to speak to volunteers in the common domain at various venues and thank them personally. I was also able to go to receptions for the Australian team and congratulate the athletes. So I will not take the time of the House today to repeat all of the things that I have been fortunate enough to have opportunities to say at other forums.
