"Belonging can be defined as a settled feeling. It is about feeling attached to
the community and society you live in. Not only does belonging make people feel
at home, but it can also help people participate in society.

More than 5 million Australians use a language other than English at home, of
which 15% have low English proficiency. Almost one-third (28%) are born
overseas. How do we ensure they are part of the society?

A new report unveils research examining the impact of news representation on
multilingual audiences’ sense of belonging to broader Australian society. The
report employed a survey combining face-to-face, phone, and online methods to
ask questions of five multilingual groups: Arabic, Cantonese, Italian,
Mandarin, and Vietnamese speakers."
