He introduced the concept of multiculturalism.

No... I mean Medibank.

He also changed Australia's foreign policy to be less aimed at US and Britain.

He did many great things for this country. The only really bad thing I can remember from year 10 was him fucking up the economy- though that was a pretty bad thing, lol

Gave us Multiculturalism (by default), Self determination,began recognition of abouriginal land rights e.g sand in Vincent Linguains hand, returning the land. Though he did give us some of the juiciest political scandals and showed us the governor general isn't just there for ceremonial purposes. One last thing, he acted as an Australian ambassador to UNESCO.
