Representatives from across Queensland’s ethnic communities have met with the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Shannon Fentiman to discuss the state’s multicultural future as part of a new group formed to advise the Government.

Minister Fentiman said the Palaszczuk Government was committed to promoting Queensland as a united, harmonious and inclusive community – a place where the contribution of all members of society was valued and recognised.

“That’s why I am pleased to announce the creation of a Multicultural Community Reference Group to advise me on issues affecting culturally and linguistically diverse Queenslanders,” she said.

The interim Reference Group, made up of respected community leaders and/or experts on issues for culturally diverse communities in Queensland, will operate until the Multicultural Queensland Advisory Council is formed under the proposed new multicultural legislation next year.

“This is a great chance for the members of this group to help shape our multicultural future and an opportunity for me to listen to what they have to say, especially about the proposed Multicultural Recognition Bill, multicultural policy and other significant initiatives, ” Ms Fentiman said.

Ms Fentiman encouraged all Queenslanders to share their ideas or issues affecting their communities with the reference group.

“I am committed to listening to the community to ensure government policies recognise our diversity and advance multiculturalism in Queensland, and the Reference Group will play a key role in this,” she said.
