Australia’s Race Discrimination Commissioner Chin Tan has established a plan for a new national anti-racism framework and is calling on the federal government to support and implement it.
Mr Tan released a concept paper on Wednesday setting out the main elements of the proposed plan, noting in the paper he was deeply troubled by the resurgence in racism being experienced in Australia and across the globe .
In a message released alongside the paper ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on Sunday - also Harmony Day in Australia - Mr Tan said the need for a new framework has become “painfully apparent over the past year”.
