The argument of this chapter was presented at the Australian national conference on “Access, Inclusion and Success: Muslim Students at Australian Universities,” Sydney, 2–4 September, 2007. I thank Dr. Sev Ozdowski for the invitation to present at the conference and the occasion to reflect on these issues.

In early 2007, the then Howard government expunged the word “multiculturalism” from (federal) government use in favour of “integration” and “citizenship,” a change that has been retained by the Rudd Labor government. However, there is little to indicate that the guiding principles of Australian multicultural policy have been abandoned. For an analysis of Australian multiculturalism, see Levey (2008a).

For present purposes, I am treating fairness, equality, equity, and justice as a family of principles representing the same basic approach to defending cultural accommodation. For other purposes, these concepts may be distinguished from each other. For a recent example, see Espinoza (2007).

The Disability Standards for Education 2005 were formulated under 31 (1) (b) of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) by the Attorney-General Philip Ruddock on 17 March 2005.
