Welcome to this month’s Champion Chat podcast. Today we continue our series on Social Change and Local Government Support by having a deeper look at diversity within Banyule City.  Joining Alison in this episode are Michelle McNamara and Cr. Rick Garotti, areas of discussion are:

What is diversity?
As Australia works hard to be a multi-cultural society, do we have a vision of what a uniquely Australian culture will be that encompasses us all?
How do we overcome bias, both perceived and real?
Multi-culturalism and multi-tribalism, a really big-picture question.
How can you become involved or find support from City of Banyule?
