I thank the senator for her first supplementary question. Yes, it is a very significant day to reach that 50-year milestone.

The Australian Human Rights Commission provides education and training, including to employers to ensure that workplaces are inclusive and respectful. They also work to resolve complaints made under the act. In the five years to 2024, the commission received over 2,200 complaints under the act, which accounts for about 14 per cent of total complaints. In October 2022, the government provided $7.5 million to the commission to develop the National Anti-Racism Strategy to tackle racism and promote racial equality in Australia. The commission has also helped to deliver the 'Racism. It Stops with Me' campaign, which has helped build community understanding of racism in Australia. (Time expired)
