Thanks for you thoughts and I did do a bit in relation to the author.
He is not a journo of the Tele, he occupies a research position for the Centre of Independent Studies. See another article by him below.

At best, I contend that multiculturalism here is a misnomer. We are multi-racial but there is not one other culture that we embrace. We tolerate some aspects of other cultures but not embrace them. The Kiwis are the closest to our culture but they are quick to point out how different they are.
There are some here who continually push the boundaries and our politicians let them get away with alien practices. Some people who support our brand of MC only see the nice aspects such as beer festivals, dragon parades and children on colourful costumes. they ignore the considerable baggage that comes with some cultures.
Some persons with alien cultural habits are now 3rd generation here and still maintain cultural practices from the old country.
The problem is that not only do we have to divert our resourses to counter this but if allowed to continue, after a time the proponents will claim we accept it and should make it allowable in our law. I suggest this could well happen with such aspects as FGM and polygamy.
We must draw a line in the sand and be emphatic about what is acceptable in Aus and what is not. All new comers to Aus are fully informed about our society when applying for a visa so there is no excuse about not knowing.
