Giridharan Sivaraman, Australia’s Race Discrimination Commissioner, opines that some of federal government's approaches pit communities against each other.
Australia’s Race Discrimination Commissioner, Giridharan Sivaraman, is urging the government to act on the National Anti-Racism Framework, warning of rising racism since the October 7 Middle East conflict. The framework outlines 63 recommendations to tackle discrimination, but communities say they’re being pitted against each other. Voices from the Australian National Imams Council and the Executive Council of Australian Jewry stress the need for community-based solutions, as federal ministers decline to comment.
