Minister, this workplace is one where the existence of racism is denied, while those calling it out are dismissed, vilified and even punished. The framework acknowledges that a person calling out racism often endures more negative repercussions than the perpetrator, and highlights the need to understand how systems, structures and institutions are racist and to build racial literacy. Minister, will you mandate antiracism training for senators and MPs so racial literacy can be built in here?
