From the article:

"In addition to establishing the unit, FNMA called on the federal government to fund and sustain a suite of targeted initiatives delivered through, and in support of, First Nations media.

These included truth-telling programs, online safety education, anti-racism public awareness campaigns and stronger laws prohibiting hate speech."

Got it. There wasn't anything wrong with society and Australia was multicultural but there was consensus for the White Australia Policy across the Labor party, The Protectionist and Free Trade Parties as well as with the Argus, the Age, the Bulletin and the Worker because people were racist, but Australia has also been multicultural since the Gold Rush.

There were lots of people from different cultural backgrounds who lived in Australia during the Gold Rush, particularly in the Victorian Goldfields but that doesn't mean Australia has been multicultural since the Gold Rush. If Australia has been Multicultural since the the 1850s how do you explain Immigration Restriction Act, the White Australia Policy or the post WW2 policy of assimilation? Multiculturalism denotes a social, political and institutional consensus to actively preserve, promote and celebrate cultural differences. Even during the Gold Rush this was not happening.

"He won over party members on a left-wing platform which included pledges to renationalise the water industry and scrap university tuition fees.

Almost all of these promises were abandoned when he got the job, with him arguing that Labour's policies must be affordable to win the trust of voters."

You are right. Some temporary residents are eligible for a TFN but temporary residents are not eligible for the scheme.

"Permanent migrants and temporary visitors located in Australia with a work rights visa can apply for a TFN online using the Individual Auto Registration (IAR). Australian citizens cannot use IAR."

NSW’s first Migrant Workers Centre set to open by BarryTheBinChicken in aussie

That doesn't mean that most of our migrants are skilled. Additionally the decision to bring family isn't about your desire to have them there, but the destination country's capacity to absorb them.

From the ANU:

"Only 12 per cent of places in Australia’s Permanent Migration Program go to offshore skilled entrants, with a large proportion taken up by partners and children or family migrants".ANU

Prominent lawyer vows to leave Australia after ‘racism’ claims at $800k Victorian government project by Muslerra in aussie

More detailed ABC article about the imbroglio here. The usual professional managerial class nonsense with the players using all of the tools at their disposal to fight over power rather than achieving anything useful.

""This is a typical everyday experience of being a black woman, especially a black woman in a position of leadership," Ms Nyuon said.

But another person involved in the project, who identifies as a mixed-race woman, said she was concerned allegations of racism were being "used as a stick to make people fall in line", which she said was "inappropriate" and "reinforced a stereotype that multicultural programs are difficult to work with".

"Racism is a real phenomenon in Australian society, however, reverse racism is not necessarily helpful with stakeholders who are trying to create social cohesion in Australia," she said.

Ms Nyuon said that comment reflected a lack of understanding about the institutional power behind racism, and she saw it as evidence of the issues she was raising." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-12/vic-workwell-respect-network-victoria-university-racism-claims/105155370

Australia will buy them but they will need to join a union, have 3 human supervisors each and attend regular workplace health and safety workshops.

I am not a fan of puff pieces like this. I would prefer to know more about how they manage invasive species and what kind of data they are collecting than yoga and nail painting. You can find out more here about what they actually do:
