The Albanese government says it's taking a new approach to multicultural affairs this term - moving the ministry into cabinet, and establishing a new Office for Multicultural Affairs.
The establishment of the new office follows concerns about how multicultural issues have been treated by the government, with communities feeling like they're being monitored rather than assisted.
After becoming Australia's first female Muslim cabinet minister last month, Anne Aly spoke to SBS News about her new role in the multicultural, small business, and international development portfolios.
