Multiculturalism is so fundamentally ingrained into Australia that even opponents of it like One Nation and the Coalition are incapable of describing an alternative that doesn't alienate a majority of the nation. Even Pauline Hanson’s poor attempts to vaguely define her vision of monoculturalism (a non-existent made up thing) includes reference to multiculturalism to avoid the obvious label of white supremacy that she really deep down wants to push. Liberal MP Andrew Hastie says there needs to be a "third way" between multi and mono culturalism (an also impossible concept as anything more than 1 of a thing counts as multiple of a thing) yet in doing so describes multiculturalism.
Monoculturalism is nothing but a bad attempt at a racist dogwhistle, but to defend accusations of being a racist dogwhistle requires you to say outright you embrace multiculturalism. The entire concept is self-defeating bullshit that only racist idiots fall for.
Let's be honest. This is not a real debate. This is a deliberate attempt to muddle the meaning of the word multiculturalism so it can become a loaded and divisive political term. It's like when the right appropriated "woke" which had a clear definition before being turned into a meaningless culture war catchall. This is not policy. This is racism and division and it's just luck that Hanson’s desperate throwing spaghetti at the wall style of making shit up has finally got something to stick.
We know what multiculturalism is. We know it's an important part of Australia. It's not going away. To push for monoculturalism is by its very definition divisive and stupid.
Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."
This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find
Some people get existential dread from this
Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating
@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally
Source (non Aboriginal)
And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history
Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)
This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.
My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.
The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

You can have any animal for a pet. Any complications such as “keeping the animal healthy and happy” and “the time and effort it would take to keep happy and healthy pet” and “keeping yourself uneaten” and “the pet I want is kind of extinct” have all been solved perfectly. You don’t have to think of that.

They wail in a strange language, chanting and singing unholy hymns. Before terrible waking catches hold of you, you see strange idols glowing pale in the now ever-present moonlight. Three for the Father. Three for the Mother. These are the anchors and the beacons, drawing in not only the cult but their gods as well. They MUST be destroyed before the Father and Mother appear. (Mother Hydra Father Dagon is the reverse game, same situation only you play a cultist trying to summon the old gods)
