Why Morrison’s preferred M-word is migrant rather than multicultural

“Australia is the most successful
migrant country on earth”. Morrison

Declaring that our society is multicultural signals something different. It says that our
country isn’t threatened by diversity, but is confident enough to celebrate it. This isn’t about cultural relativism. At no time has a policy of multiculturalism sanctioned anything that runs counter to individual rights, the rule of law and democracy.

The idea of multiculturalism simply says that there isn’t only one way someone can
be authentically Australian. It says that everyone shouldn’t just be treated equally, but
also be comfortable in their own skin. It says that being Australian shouldn’t prevent
anyone from also being free to express their cultural heritage and identity.

Now why would such freedom and liberty be so threatening?
