Multicultural candidates make their voices heard in Victorian local government elections

Jasmine Nguyen says she comes from people with a history of resilience. The daughter of Vietnamese refugees, Ms Nguyen said the privilege of being born in Australia has been deeply ingrained in her, along with the sense of responsibility to "give back". "There's still not enough representation of Vietnamese Australians in leadership, media, politics," Ms Nguyen said. "After I migrated here, it was head down, butt up and working, but I've always had that aspiration in me to give back to the community that's given me so much," he said. "With the Indian and South Asian diaspora, they are very hesitant to ask for anything, because they think there's something wrong if they ask," he said.
