The Federation of Ethnic Communities Councils of Australia says they are concerned multiculturalism isn't a key election issue in this federal election campaign. They've released a policy platform criticising proposals to change the citizenship 'values' test, ban refugees from Gaza, and deport dual nationals convicted of crimes.
