Summary: The Australian Government has announced a change in its census methodology, replacing ancestry with ethnicity as the basis for population enumeration from 2026. While advocates argue that this decision will contribute to improved social justice outcomes, it also reflects a desire to rigidly define diverse identities. Ethnic labels and the concept itself are inherently unstable, and the use of ethnic enumeration in previous census operations has caused confusion and social harm in Britain and other colonies. Advocates should consider this history and examine alternative approaches, like the Diversity Atlas survey tool, to avoid reinforcing unacceptable racial views.

Summary: This article aims to understand the attitudes and levels of engagement of individuals belonging to ethnic minorities towards participatory budgeting (PB) and identify the factors that influence their participation. The study focuses on ethnic Hungarians in the multi-ethnic city of Cluj-Napoca and utilizes 20 semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that engagement is driven by the opportunity to have a strong voice in the community, communicate with the public administration about priorities, and foster social cohesion and civic spirit. On the other hand, non-engagement is triggered by limited details about PB, an online-only format, and personal characteristics.
