‘I don’t believe in multiculturalism’: Joyce backs one Australian culture

One Nation Treasury Spokesperson Barnaby Joyce rejects multiculturalism, arguing Australia needs “stringent guardrails” and a shared national culture to preserve social harmony.

“I don’t believe in multiculturalism either, so let’s be really clear about that, I believe in an Australian culture,” Mr Joyce told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.

“If you reside in Australia, there have to be stringent guardrails, because the liberties and freedoms of other people are determined by your interactions with them.

“There has to be a temperance, there has to be a tolerance.

“If you go to other places, especially in Europe, you can see where this has gone right off the rails, and we cannot let that happen here.”
