Australians are tolerant

Australia has consistently ranked as one of the most tolerant countries in the world, and last year's postal survey on the topic of marriage equality put that claim to the test. A resounding (and long overdue) triumph for a nation so proud of its progressive principles was achieved by 62% of Australians who voted yes to legalizing same-sex marriage despite months of repugnant public debate.

Australia has gained a great deal of knowledge through the various waves of immigrants who have greatly enhanced its culture. One of them is the importance of variety, which is a crucial lesson as the country adjusts to its position in the new global order.

Australia has a tolerant culture. It can handle a wide range of perspectives on life, work, and the family. However, there are a few fundamental aspects of Australian culture to which immigrants must adapt. One of these is simply tolerance; newcomers are expected to act with the same tolerance that is displayed toward them.
