Themes

5 main areas of concern emerged for the research participants. In essence, these were concerns that young Australians have about society today and their place in it. These areas of concerns have been grouped into the five “themes” that The Middle Ground project will seek to explore through its online portal and productions.

THEME 1

“We decide who comes here”

Theme 1 of The Middle Ground explores the contentious issue of immigration, including its history, economics, and several key arguments that exist around it. Particularly it looks at various dimensions of thought on immigration which see it as a threat to Australia’s socio-economic fabric and, extending to the issue of refugees, often position those coming into Australia as impinging on the lives of Australians. By looking at key history, facts and figures, this theme will seek to debunk key myths and explore the reality of immigrants and their contribution to Australia.
