Critical race theory is predicated on the belief that the laws and institutions of our nation are inherently racist. This theory is patently false, discredited and without any basis in fact. The national curriculum, which is open for consultation, is agreed by consensus between the Commonwealth and all state and territory education ministers. The federal government will reject any changes to the national curriculum that would give effect to critical race theory within the curriculum.
