While expressing the importance of the “respect the right of free speech and expression of opinion” Multicultural NSW also asks the local and state governments to “consider the impact of their decision to community harmony” and “ensure it does not contribute to victimisation of any individual group” and “it is consistent with the foreign policy positions, as determined by the Commonwealth Government” when “recognising an historical event”.
