MC is hugely expense:
-- You have the duplication of publications, posters, message services into "community languages" Often because people have not been motivated to learn English. I know a close relative who went to govt funded English classes but treated them more like a social outing and never sought to employ English outside the class.
-- And what would the *special* broadcasting service SBS be without MC [The Australian Government contributes approximately 80% its funding ]
MC is hugely divisive:
Kenan Malik a British Muslim blames MC for the growth of extremism:
"It has only been over the past decade that radical Islam has found a hearing in Britain. Why? Partly because, in this post-ideological age, the idea that we can change society through politics has taken a battering. And partly because the idea that we should aspire to a common identity and set of values has been eroded in the name of multiculturalism."

MC leaves open the door for manipulation:
I have personally witnessed unscrupulous individuals use MC and its associated trappings to hold a major govt body to ransom.
Despite Steele's fudge that if we didn't like we could have voted for One Nation. It remains an inconvenient truth that Govt sponsored MC was imposed from above. No major party went to the electorate with a plan for govt sponsored MC. And when politicians talk about MC --in front of the wider community -- they couch things in motherhood statements like "tolerance" & "harmony" --and "festivals" (the type of hype that Foxy discounts but uses more than anyone else)
MC is trading on our prosperity -- but when the going gets tough the tribes will come out--actually, if you are living outside Steelesville or Foxyville the tribes are already out!
