The South Australian Government's Multiculturalism Minister Zoe Bettison has BANNED Australian children with Russian historical roots from taking part in a multicultural concert in Adelaide's CBD for the first time in 30 years.

This is very un-Australian of Zoe Bettison MP. This is discrimination & racism.

The community have decided to hold an 'unofficial' Multicultural festival and hire a professional event company to provide a corporate style stage including audio, visual, security, permits, public liability insurance, police approval, legal advice, council approval, free food and refreshments for Adelaide's general public to enjoy a fun, vibrant, family-friendly, unofficial, non-government grass roots multicultural festival day showcasing multiculturalism, Australian values and a 'fair go' for kids of all cultures and backgrounds including local children's ensembles who were banned from performing on the 'official' government-sponsored stage by Minister Zoe Bettison.
