Migrants’ attitude

2016 was a year where migration remained a national and global issue. From the ongoing influx of refugees and migrants coming into Europe to Pauline Hanson's strong anti-immigration views, immigration here and abroad continued to dominate media headlines. This year SBS weighed into the debate - conducting research on how refugees and migrants see their future in Australia - and the results show a sense of optimism unmatched by non-migrants. Research done for SBS by research agency Pollinate canvassed the views of 2000 people on different aspects of what it means to be an Australian today. The research looked at what Australians want, what drives us and how these attitudes differ between first generation migrants and Australians who were born here. Part of the research looked at 16 different language groups, consisting of three generations of families, who talked about how they felt about Australia and how these attitudes differed between generations.
