Businesses are being urged to reconsider the “western norm” of leadership as a new survey reveals four out of five Asian-Australians say they have experienced discrimination in Australia.
The national survey of 2,000 people found Asians were the most likely ethnic group to report experiencing discrimination in Australia.
Eighty-two per cent of Asians surveyed said they had experienced discrimination in the workplace or as a consumer in Australia, compared to 81 per cent of those with Middle Eastern heritage and 71 per cent of Indigenous Australians.
