本文介绍了2007年进行的一项调查的态度，愿望和归属感的主要是移民少数民族青年生活在悉尼西部和西南部提供了一些证据，以质疑移民青年的民粹主义观点是对澳大利亚社会的威胁。相反，调查指出了悉尼移民青年非常积极的愿望，他们对在澳大利亚社会中发挥积极作用的强烈感觉，他们对自己社区的归属感和主人翁感。他们过着相互联系的生活，拥有多元文化的友谊网络，而不是过着与其他青年平行和分离的生活。只有三分之一的受访者认为自己是“澳大利亚人”，大多数人都提供了一些混合澳大利亚身份。这一发现令澳大利亚政府感到担忧，直到2010年底才批准发表这项研究。本文认为，一个更国际化的多元文化主义的方法将有助于重视全球化，流体，混合身份的移民青年，并协助缓解民族主义焦虑澳大利亚的文化，语言和文化多样性。
This article presents the results of a survey of the attitudes, aspirations and belonging of mainly immigrant minority youth living in Western and south western Sydney conducted in 2007 to provide some evidence to contest the populist view of immigrant youth as being a threat to Australian society. Rather the survey points to the very positive aspirations of Sydney’s immigrant youth, their strong sense of having a positive future role in Australian society, their sense of belonging and ownership of their neighbourhood. They live connected lives, with multicultural friendship networks rather than living their lives parallel to and separate from other youth. Only one in three surveyed identify as ‘Australian’, with most offering some hybrid-Australian identity. This finding worried the Australian government, who did not give publication approval of the research until late 2010. The paper argues that a more cosmopolitan approach to multiculturalism would assist in valuing the globalised, fluid, hybrid identities of immigrant youth and assist in relieving the nationalist anxieties about Australian cultural, linguistic and cultural diversity.
