I too refer to Malcolm Seychell's letter Multiculturalism Does Not Work (July 11) as did John Scerri from Ontario, Canada.
I have lived in Australia for the last 55 years and I can assure Mr Seychell that he is totally wrong in his belief that multiculturalism has not worked anywhere.
He is speaking through his hat as the ethnic communities here are a model for other countries in terms of the freedom we practise in culture, custom and anything connected with our country of origin.
Again, as Mr Scerri explained, it is by no means plain sailing in everything, however, overall, in this lovely, big country, multiculturalism, Mr Seychell, is alive and well and, above all, thriving.
