There may be a portion of the Muslim and Lebanese (Christian and Muslim) communities who disagree with you, I could see it influencing whether they vote ALP or not.
Look at what happened with Kristina Keneally and Dai Le in Fowler. The electorate is only 18% Vietnamese but heavily non Anglo (82% non Anglo Saxon heritage). All up they elected a non Anglo independent over the parachuted ALP candidate.
Now look at seats held by Tony Burke, Chris Bowen and Jason Clare, among others. Similar proportion of non Anglo voters with stereotypical Anglo Australian MPs. Now whilst they are established they could be under threat from high profile migrant based Independent candidates, whether they be Muslim, East Asian, Indian, whatever. It could be a ‘reverse Teal’ effect.
