E/CN.4/2002/24/Add.1 page 20 (d) The Australian Citizenship Council is an independent body advising the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs on Australian citizenship matters that are referred to it by the Government. The Council reports to the Minister on contemporary issues in Australian citizenship policy and law to be addressed and produces policies on how to promote increased community awareness of the significance of Australian citizenship for all Australians, including its role as a unifying symbol; (e) The Australian Multicultural Foundation (AMF) administers Believing in Harmony, a programme supported by the Commonwealth Government’s Living in Harmony initiative. The project entails the bringing of panels into schools across Australia to provide students with the chance to hear first hand about traditions different from their own, to develop openness to new knowledge, to develop curiosity and interest in traditions of others, and to focus attention on belief and the notion of religion as a component of Australian society. AMF has provided schools with a tool kit, including a resource manual for teachers. AMF also sponsors youth activities, for example the Centre for Multicultural Youth Issues (CMYI) which tries to help newly arrived young immigrants by providing them with information to facilitate their integration in the country. One example is Landing on your feet - A legal information kit for new arrivals, which contains relevant legal information to minimize the impact of legal problems that newly arrived young people face in Australia. Areas of law that are covered in the publication include traffic and transport laws, family law concepts and practice, laws relating to personal safety, fair business and trade, police powers, equal opportunity laws, basic tenancy and property maintenance, laws relating to prescription of drug purchase and use and explanation of common contracts; (f) Centrelink is an institution which delivers multicultural social services and programmes and payments from government departments to migrants and refugees in 42 languages,1 i.e. clients speaking the languages in use at Centerlink are attended to in those languages. Centrelink links Australian government services and provides comprehensive access to participation in government programmes and services for over 6.2 million multicultural customers, more than 2.4 million of whom were born overseas, and more than 1.5 million in non-English-speaking countries. Centrelink provides information for staff and others in the community so that a higher level of service can be delivered to people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. For example, it issues a manual describing the different naming systems of various ethnic groups; (g) The National Police Ethnic Advisory Bureau was established by the federal Government in response to the need to coordinate police responses to meet the challenges of the cultural, linguistic and religious diversity in Australian society. The Bureau has designed some “Governing Principles for Policing in a Culturally Diverse Australia” which provide police jurisdictions with a philosophical framework for the development of policies and projects that enhance harmonious relations between the police and ethnic communities. These governing principles include the following elements: (i) Rejection of all 3 forms of racism, prejudice and bigotry; (ii) Members of Australian police jurisdictions need to acquire cross-cultural skills through education and training;
