"If all these communities that are continuously impacted by racism, and if it surges after events overseas, it means we've got a problem over here. It means we need to improve our education, workplace, justice, media, and other systems. The Roadmap is there to improve the systems, it's in the National Anti-Racism Framework - which is a whole of government, a whole of society approach to tackling racism. The problem is that the government has had this for framework for a year and a half and they're yet to endorse it, let alone fund and implement its recommendations."
I se talanoaga ma talafou a le SBS, na saunoa Commissioner Sivaraman le tulaga o le fefe ma le mata'u o loo feagai ma nisi e i aso ta’itasi.
"I remember talking to a Muslim woman who wore a hijab who said, everyday I wonder what would happen when I walk out the door, whether someone will say something or do something to me and my family. For some people it was a case of not wanting to log on, and not wanting to look at comments on post or not wanting to have a social media presence because they're worried about the retaliation that might happen. For some it was a daily occurrence of not finding work or struggling to get gainful employment."
E le'i aofia i le National Anti-Racism Framework le taimi o le osofaiga terorisi i Bondi, ae na saunoa Commissioner Siva-raman, talu mai Tesema o le tausaga talu ai, ua molimauina le siitia pea o faiga faailoga tagata i tagata Iutaia atoa ai ma tagata Moselemi.
O loo ta'ua foi i le ripoti le tele o le a’afiaga i manatu o tagata lautele e fa’avae mai lafoga ma manatu fa’aalia o sui faipule o le palemene.
Na fa’aalia e Commissioner Sivaraman, lona faanoanoa i manatu na fa’aalia e le ta’ita’i o le itūagai, Angus Taylor, i fuafuaga a lana vaega 'upufai i mata’upu i femalaga'iga, ma tagata aumau poo migrants.
“Comments that will incite racism, comments that dehumanise migrants, comments that whole countries and whole populations with a negative brush. And that is all part of the political discourse. Words have consequences, the words of leaders when they dehumanise people and when they dehumanise migrants, there's a direct through line from that to the racist violence that will appear on the street."
Mo nisi talafou ma ripoti, fa'afofoga i le SBS Samoan i le 'upega tafa'ilagi poo le SBS Radio app, pe asiasi i le Facebook SBS Samoan.
