    Inga Peulich, Shadow Minister for Multicultural Affairs, slammed an advertisement released by the Victorian Multicultural Commission that called for a safe start to school for South-Sudanese students. Peulich said the ad was politically motivated and divisive. The VMC Chair stated that young South Sudanese students may face discrimination following recent media coverage. Peulich argued that the message against bullying should have been delivered through an education-focused back to school ad, and that the government should lead by positive example rather than divisive political comments on multicultural issues.

    Peulich: Andrews’ VMC Divisive Ad Uses South-Sudanese Kids


    Inga Peulich MLC, Shadow Minister for Multicultural Affairs has slammed the Andrews Government and its lead agency
    the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC) for play politics with multiculturalism following a politically motivated
    advertisement released today calling for a safe start to school for South-Sudanese students.

    The VMC Chair states that young South Sudanese students may be a target for discrimination following recent media
    coverage and commentary.

    Ms Peulich said that the Coalition is pro multiculturalism and pro strong community safety, and it is unfortunate that
    Labor and the VMC have potentially been both political and divisive.

    The advertisement can be viewed online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvkozkPpbc4

    Quotes attributed to Inga Peulich MLC, Shadow Minister for Multicultural Affairs:
    “The message that children should not be bullied at the start of the school year is an important message that should
    have been delivered via an education- focused 'back to school ad' with an anti-bullying message.”

    “All Australians no matter who they are, are expected to be good citizens and the Government should lead by positive
    example and not by making divisive, political comments on multicultural issues.”

    “The bipartisan support for multiculturalism must be protected especially by the lead agency, the VMC - not sacrificed
    for a political purpose or agenda.”
