National Agenda for a Multicultural Australia

Objectives

The Government has two objectives in this area:

• to promote equality before the law by systematically examining the implicit cultural assumptions of the law and the legal system to identify the manner in which they may unintentionally act to disadvantage certain groups of Australians; and

• to promote an environment that is tolerant and accepting of social and cultural diversity, and that respects and protects the associated rights of the individual.
