A new survey shows more than 80 per cent of Asian-Australians experienced an instance of discrimination this year [[JAN to OCT]] during the pandemic.

The Australian National University survey of three thousand people showed that most participants with Asian descent faced some form of discrimination between January and October this year.

Research by the Australian National University also shows that while social cohesion has improved in 2020, support for migration has declined slightly.
