Opportunity exists to recognise and build on the heritage of all the groups that make up today’s Australian community. Noel Pearson and the Referendum Council have proposed a model of ‘three great streams’ to acknowledge the different but equally important core groups who make up the Australian population: ·      The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures; ·      The British institutions and histories which are the foundations of our liberal democratic system; ·      The rich range of other cultures, faiths and ethnic backgrounds that contribute to our multicultural society.
