This paper aims to address the deficiency in the discussion on the impact of the securitisation of China on multiculturalism in Australia. Specifically, it seeks to identify several actual and/or potential causal mechanisms behind what Tim Soutphommasane, Race Discrimination Commissioner, refers to as “setting fire to our multicultural harmony”. In doing so, it will address a number of critical issues through the case study of contemporary Australia’s multicultural practice and policy. Consideration will be given to the following questions: Does multiculturalism pose a threat to national security? Is securitisation a threat to multiculturalism? Can multiculturalism offer a fresh approach to national security? In addressing these questions, my approach makes a stark contrast to the current discussion of the threat of China from the perspective of security.
