Identity is nuanced and complex, and can mean different things to different people. This is illustrated in the changing face of multicultural Australia, home to one of the world's oldest continuous cultures, and over seven million people born overseas. But numbers only go so far. In this SBS News podcast, Hannah Kwon seeks to understand what identity means in Australia today through the lens of relationships, media representation, language and code switching. Hear from writer and broadcaster Benjamin Law on Asian-Australian media representation, the Scanlon Foundation's Trish Prentice on interracial relationships and Geoff Anderson on how learning his Indigenous heritage language helped saved his life, among others.
