Williamson won album of the year for Chandelier of Stars, top-selling album of the year and bush ballad of the year.

We have some fantastic talent in OZ.

Some of it wouild never have been able to bring us all so much pleasure, or take the country crown in the bad old days where racist pedigree determined how a bloke was treated... but the bad old days are gone.. now we Celebrate Australia Day with multicultural musical talent.

Pity the last thing you will ever see the racists, Bunyip Aristocracy, Townsville Taliban, and other frauds and pretenders do in aus.culture.true-blue is ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THE CULTURE! They just don't know enough, or care enough about it to risk making fools of themselves again.

If they had been there at the time, they would know! B^)

"There is a fundamental distinction between multicultural and Multiculturalism, which racists constantly and deliberately confuse.

A society is multicultural if it has more than one culture being practised within that society.

'Multicultural - A society which embraces a number of minority cultures' - Macquarie Dictionary

Multiculturalism is two things, the -ISM indicates that it is a set of beliefs or ideas about multiculture, ie a recognition of multicultural REALITY, an acceptance of it, a celebration of it. But it is ALSO a set of government policies to formalize that recognition, acceptance and celebration! Thus the Howard government has a Department which documents the positive economic social and foreign policy benefits from having a successful, open, democratic multicultural society."
