Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Labor’s victory in the last federal election in May is a victory for multiculturalism.

At his National Press Club Address on May 18, Albanese postulated that the fact that he has a ‘non-Anglo-Celtic name’ is ‘a win for multicultural Australia’.

Then he added:

‘I think it’s good someone with a non-Anglo Celtic surname is the leader in the House of Representatives and that someone with a surname like Wong is the leader of the government in the Senate.
