  CMCD director Narayan Gopalkrishnan said the centre had received a $127,000 grant from the State Government to develop strategies to deliver culturally relevant on-line resources for the non-government sector within culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
  
  A particular focus of the research will be the use of information technology to support multicultural non-governmental agencies.This will enable community leaders and organisations to better support their community's needs.
  
  "It's fairly ground-breaking in that there's never been significant research into how migrant communities access information on the Internet," Mr Gopalkrishnan said.
  
  Mr Gopalkrishnan said the CMCD team would conduct interviews and hold focus groups with migrant groups across Queensland, including regional Queensland.
  
  "There will be a particular focus on those of non-English speaking backgrounds," he said.
  ...
  Mr Gopalkrishnan said there was often a misconception that the Internet was the answer to everyone's information needs.
  
  "Technology can be easily viewed as a panacea for all our issues.It is seen as very accessible and as the answer to many problems," he said.
  
  "However, it's also the cause of many problems.People who are marginalised already can be marginalised further by not having access to electronic information."
  
  He said one key aim of the project would be to enable better and more appropriate provision of information to migrant communities.
  
  Mr Gopalkrishnan praised former USC academic Hurriyet Babacan for playing a pivotal role in establishing this project which he said would be completed by August.

  Narayan Gopalkrishnan, Director, Centre for Multicultural & Community Development, University of the Sunshine Coast, began his welcome remarks with the metaphor of a pine tree plantation in Queensland, which reflects a loss of biodiversity in contrast to a rain forest, which retains its biodiversity and sustainability.Likewise, Australian society is sustainable when cultural diversity is enhanced.In his view, the Symposium is a very relevant follow-up to the International Conference hosted by his Centre in early Dec 2005, focusing on the theme of Racisms and the New World Order.He expressed concern over the SMS text messages urging violence and racist attacks on Lebanese and other peoples that preceded the Cronulla riots.While in India during the conflict, he noted that the media images of Cronulla focused on the incidents of violence.He hoped that the Symposium would examine the various issues raised in media representations, including whether racism is a causative factor; is there a "failure" of multiculturalism; are some cultural or ethnic groups not "integrating" into Australian society?In conclusion, he reminded delegates that Australia has been one of the leading nations promoting multiculturalism.In light of the Cronulla conflict, and ongoing views, responses and policy changes, Australia risks losing the gains that have been made.
