A new report from the Lowy Institute reveals that public support for multiculturalism in Australia has dropped significantly over the past two years.
Key Points
- According to the latest Lowy Institute Poll, while an overwhelming 90 percent of Australians viewed multiculturalism as positive for the nation in 2024, that figure has fallen to just 73 percent this year.
- The survey was conducted in the days following a high-profile address by One Nation leader Pauline Hanson at the National Press Club in Canberra earlier this June.
- Public policy experts indicate that the rise in populist sentiment and pushback against multiculturalism is heavily tied to growing social and economic uncertainty across the country.
