Multicultural communities are now considered a front line of defence against interference by foreign governments in Australia. The Australian Federal Police has launched an information campaign in the hopes more people from diaspora communities will come forward to report any criminal behaviour.


The police say people from certain CALD communities can receive "threats and intimidation that are either financed or directed or supervised by a foreign government."

The list of vulnerable nationalities includes Russia and former Soviet states in Central Asia as well as Azerbaijan.
