Multicultural Victoria ahead of the state election

Key points

• A Greek Australian community forum in Brunswick, Melbourne, discussed the future of multiculturalism in Victoria ahead of the state election on 28 November. Speakers from several parties and migrant organisations took part.
• George Lekakis, chair of Victoria’s Multicultural Review, outlined its 41 recommendations. Greens MP Anasina Gray-Barberio said only seven had been adopted by the Labor government.
• Liberal candidate Theo Zographos did not attend and no replacement was found. The organisers plan to continue the conversation beyond the election.
