Australia’s surprising disregard for free speech

> Australia has a very mono-cultural society.

I have to disagree with you here... Sydney & Melbourne have the world's 3rd and 4th largest foreign born populations.

45% of people living in Sydney weren't born in Australia... Melbourne 41%.

Agree that outside Syd & Melb though, it's very mono cultural.

Understand that this disagreement is over definitions/interpretations, not statistics.

The question is whether the populations are separated into heterogeneous cultural communities, or rather are integrated into a more homogenous society.

In my experience (having spent effectively all of my >40 years living in Melbourne) is that it's a bit of both, but that cultural disharmony is not a problem.
