The 2013 national cultural policy, Creative Australia, invokes various understandings of multiculturalism – as a welfarist agenda, a cosmopolitan creative economy, a reiteration of artistic ‘excellence’, and as a politics of nationhood and citizenship. Contrary to claims about multiculturalism’s decline, the policy reveals the persistence of multiculturalism, and a dispersal of its meanings and functions.
