Event about:
Democratic Representation in a Multicultural Society
As Australian democracy grapples with a growing crisis of representation, it is time to ask: who is seen, who is heard, and who remains invisible? How can our political system foster inclusion, equity, and legitimacy—not only in parliament, but across the broader public sphere? This event explores how Australia's democratic institutions can better reflect the voices of its culturally, linguistically, and religiously diverse communities. This conversation brings together academics and practitioners to share insights, experiences, and strategies for strengthening political representation in Australia.
Joining us will be Ilo Diaz (Centre Against Racial Profiling), David Nolan (News & Media Research Centre, 91¿´Æ¬ÉñÆ÷), and Emily Foley (Centre for Deliberative Democracy, 91¿´Æ¬ÉñÆ÷ and Flinders University).
Moderated by Professor Chris Wallace.
