Personally, I find the diversity of the cast to be irrelevant; I would argue that there is no racist intent apparent — thus the accusations nothing more than poppycock. For now this is my opinion on the matter, a mere first glance opinion might I add, I will look further into this.
Although this is the Australian Labour Party, they are prone to stupidity from my experiences.

Provided Australia is majority White, I'd expect for such a party to get considerable success electorally.

Because the (popular) stereotype of Australians being a bunch of overt xenophobes is only that: a stereotype. Most people in Australia aren't racist, xenophobic or believe in "white is right". They're tolerant, friendly, laid back people with open minds and hearts.

Beyond that.. Louis CK captures my thoughts..
"I don't want to go to the future and find out what happens to white people because we're gonna pay hard for this shit, you got to know that. We're not going to just fall from number one to two. They're gonna hold us down and fuck us in the ass forever. And we totally deserve it.
But for now, wheeeeeeee!"

Haven't you heard of the Cronulla riots? I've read extensively about what happened and know who started it. It was the Lebanese immigrants' fault for provoking the locals and getting them angry, needlessly attacking life guards. What Cronulla had there was a bunch of Muslim men, middle easterners all acting obnoxious, harassing women and underage girls, going out of their way to treat them like trash and disrespecting the Australian men alike because they're Kafir. If a westerner attempted similar behavior in Lebanon, believe me- they'd have been lynched or stoned to death. The wrath of the Australians boiled over until they physically retaliated and defended their community's honor.
All of what happened on that day might've been avoided had the immigrants not been in the country to begin with or perhaps vetting people from Lebanon and other such places to ensure that only their top 1% is allowed in, and all the poor or lower quality people were kept out of Australia.

They essentially said "they don't speak our language, they look different, etc.". Basically typical anti immigration stuff. Then they proceeded to protest (and I believe, they beat up some Lebanese people). This caused the youth in the Lebanese community to riot, and before the heads of the Lebanese community could say "Don't do stupid shit", they did stupid shit.
So all in all, it was humans being waaay to reactionary.
