Working Efficiency is the need to develop and maintain the skills of Australians, regardless of background. Cultural identity is the right to talk about heritage or background without getting criticised for it.

In today's world, there is racism in certain countries and usually for a reason. The reason might be for very minor things like land ownership or theft. Other major issues that might cause racism are political power or wars. Ultimately, the issues are solved and the offended are compensated.

If people were to stay only with other people of their kind, lack of exposure to the outside world would result in them not knowing how to communicate or sort out something. Also, racism to one person causes racism to another, then another and then the racism will be directed at you. Therefore, racism by one causes racism to one.
