Try an interesting little exercise some day. Punch Howard' and 'multiculturalism' into the Hansard database. You will find he has never mentioned the word.

When you punch in 'Howard' and 'multicultural' you do get it nine times but each and every time he is referring to the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs.
