About the SBS CQ Forum

In the context of heated national debates about asylum seekers and immigration, as well as the (predominantly polarising) commentary that followed the announcement of this year's federal multiculturalism policy, it is timely to host a discussion on the media’s role in these debates and in reflecting Australian diversity.

SBS CQ seeks to feed into this space with intelligent debate, new perspectives on our media environment. In this forum media practitioners, academics, politicians, community advocates and commentators reflect on how media shape and represent our views and values.
