Why immigrants under represented in parliaments and councils?

Immigrants, especially Asian-Australians are under-represented in politics in Australia at all levels. While many are high achievers, they're not taking up leadership positions in governments in numbers proportionate to the size of their communities. Why? Mr Immanuel Selvaraj who contested in a Federal election from Greater Sydeny, City of Canning Councillor Ms Yasotha Ponnuthurai and Mr Karthik who contested in a Federal election from Greater Melbourne share their views.
