Mr MORRISON (Cook—Prime Minister and Minister for the Public Service) (14:13): I thank the member for Reid for her question. Australia is the most successful multicultural and immigrant nation on earth. Our side of politics, the Liberal and National parties, have been pleased to provide leadership on this issue, which has ensured that that has become a fact in this country. Indeed, they have been policies that have been supported by both sides of this House in the postwar period. I wish to speak to one of the policies that has been put in place by our government. The government recently invested $30,000 in the member's electorate, under the Fostering Integration Grants program, in Strathfield council's Shaping My Career program. This program introduces non-working migrant women to the labour market. It provides an insight into Australian values and links participants to other council run activities, including language and conversation classes. The Fostering Integration Grants program supports more than 220 community organisations, who receive a combined $9.3 million in funding to help migrants fully participate in the Australian community. The grants are part of the government's commitment to working closely with local organisations to provide valuable services and activities that foster social cohesion and create a stronger Australia. Mr Speaker, 45.5 per cent of Australians have either one or two parents who were born overseas. Some 7.5 million have come to this country since the Second World War from over 200 countries; 270 ethnicities, some 260 languages. One in three owner-managers of small businesses are from a migrant background. Migrant businesses employ 1.4 million Australians. These are Australians who have come to Australia to make a contribution, not take one. They are Australians who have come to create jobs, not take them. They are Australians who have come to have a go and they've been getting a go under the policies of our government. We acknowledge their contribution, we celebrate their contribution, we celebrate their culture, and we celebrate and are prepared to protect their faith and religion and their freedom of religion. And we respect the loyalty to Australia of migrants who have come from all around the world to call Australia home. Whether it was with the programs under the Menzies government that followed on from the policies of the previous government that built the post-war migration period, whether it was under the Holt government that abolished the White Australia policy, whether it was under the Fraser government that implemented the Galbally report, whether it was under the Howard government that took us from less than 30 per cent of our migration program being for skills to 70 per cent, or under this government to ensure the integrity of our immigration program by ensuring our borders are secure, we will always stands up for the contribution of migrants to this country. Ms Rowland interjecting— The SPEAKER: Just before I call the member for Rankin, the member for Greenway is warned! The member for Solomon was warned at 9.50 this morning. Keep your mouth shut and I think you'll be fine. The member for Rankin has the call.
