WEBVTT - The racism inquiry ignored by mainstream media

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>On the twenty six a Gen twenty twenty six, I

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>was a mum standing in a crowd when a bomb

0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>was thrown at the people around me. So I vividly

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.120
<v Speaker 1>recall that day and it's haunted me pretty much ever since.

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>It's the other racism inquiry running at the same time

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 2>as the Royal Commission into Anti Semitism and Social Cohesion.

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>As we were watching the ceremony or the rally begin,

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I saw what appeared to be a child's toy out

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>in front of me. It kind of wafted down and

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know at the time that it actually had

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>hit the leg of one of my daughter's friends. So

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know obviously that it was a soft field

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>explosive device built for carnage. I didn't really know what

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I was seeing.

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 2>But while the Royal Commission has attracted rolling media coverage

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 2>and government attention, the inquiry into racism, hate and violence

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 2>directed at O Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>been largely ignored. As witnesses shine a light on the

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>repeated inaction before, during, and after the alleged attempted bombing

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 2>of an invasion day that triggered this inquiry.

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>But I'm here because of what happened next. Silence, nothing, nothing.

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ruby Jones and you're listening to seven AM today.

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 2>National Indigenous Affairs Editor for NATV and SBS, John Paul

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Jenk on how Australia treats different kinds of racism differently.

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 2>It's Tuesday, July twenty one, JP. Welcome to the show.

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Great to be on. Thanks for having me.

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Look, I was hoping that we could just start with

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>the basics why this inquiry was established and what it

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>is that it's actually looking at.

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, this is the Senate Inquiry into racism and

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 3>hate directed towards Abergeltasta on to people. It really arises

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 3>out of two incidents, and the main one being, of course,

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 3>the January twenty sixth Invasion Day rally in Balldoo, Perth

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 3>and the alleged attempted terrorist attack, so the throwing of

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>a bomb into a crowd.

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Police were alleging a thirty one year old man threw

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>a homemade bomb into the crowd of thousands which had

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 2>gathered in the heart of Perth, CBD for the Invasion

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Day rally.

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 3>And then going back a couple of months before that,

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 3>the attacks on Camp Sovereignty.

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>In Melbourne, Demonstrators including suspected Neo Nazis, stormed Camp Sovereignty

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 2>of First Nations gathering site in the Botanic Guard.

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>So those two incidents sparked the Minister for Indigenous Australian's

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Melanderry McCarthy to announce this Senate inquiry into racism and

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.359
<v Speaker 3>hate directed at First Nation's people.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>And so the very first hearings began in Perth, which

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 2>is where as you say, this alleged bombing attempt happened

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 2>on January twenty six. So what has the inquiry heard

0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>about the events of that day.

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 3>I think some really powerful testimony came from the National

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 3>Indigenous Times and one of their reporters who was actually

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 3>on the ground on the day and saw the incidents unfolded.

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 3>And I think she actually says in her testimony that

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>the attempt at explosive device bounced directly in front of her.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>And I understand no one died, I get that, but

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>they were boil intents. I shouldn't be sitting here and

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>talking to you today. I am my girls, a mum.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>And my sister.

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>We should be dead because it landed right in front

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of us. That was the intent.

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Protesters and those who had gathered for the Invasion Day

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 3>rally had seen it as a terrorist attack, and so

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 3>the evidence was really spelling out that the racism that

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 3>was directed at First Nations people, particularly on the online platforms,

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 3>has now moved into real life harm. They understood that

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 3>the police had been warned that there would be an attack,

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>and I think they were scratching their head saying, look

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 3>where the governments and various authorities actually paying an attention

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 3>before these attacks to what the Indigenous community of Perth

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 3>was saying that this had been escalating towards First Nations

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 3>people for some time.

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Tell me more about what we understand about warnings before

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the attack and how they were handled, as well as

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the response to what happened.

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 3>We heard from one of the organizers, Fabian Yarron, who

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 3>said that organizers had received a warning that the rally

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 3>would be the target of those in far right groups.

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 4>I was organizing this thing and we had tip off

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 4>from the community members that the Nazi Party was going

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 4>to come and haunts us on that day. So we

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 4>were aware that the Nazis is going to be coming,

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 4>and the Nazis was at Wellingson Square, which is about

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 4>four hundred meters the other row.

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 3>He said that the police were informed but chose not

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 3>to meet with organizers beforehand.

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 4>We told the police, we told our sentences and told

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 4>people that ess is going to happen. But this time

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 4>the policing I didn't understand why they did't meet us.

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure why they even meet us.

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 3>He also said that organizers were not told about maybe

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 3>a suspected bomb while they were in the square, while

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 3>the square was being evacuated, and the National Indigenous Times

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 3>journo Renee Isaac Guthridge, she said, look, the community felt

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.599
<v Speaker 3>ignored and they believed that the incident overall was not

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 3>treated as seriously as it should be because the targets

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 3>were aboriginal tyrestonhon to people. So she spoke about that

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 3>the WA police didn't really declare an incident or a

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 3>suspected terrorism attack till nine days after the incident, and

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:43.119
<v Speaker 3>I think that was from political pressure. They also felt

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 3>that mainstream media didn't emphasize the attack as a suspected

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 3>terrorist attack and just chose it as an attack on

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 3>an invasion day rally.

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Given the Bondi attack only had happened so close to it.

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>It was just such a stark comparison between how the

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 1>response between the media and you know, the naming of

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>the the individuals or the accused. You know, it was

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>just it came out straight away, whereas you looked at

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>what happened on that day, it was absolutely revolting the comparison.

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>And so as the hearings continued, the evidence, the scope

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 2>of it widened from this attempted attack in Perth to

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>as you've sort of said, the racism that people experience

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 2>every day and the more kind of institutionalized racism that

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 2>exists as well. So tell me more about what the

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 2>inquiry has heard as it's continued on.

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So the inquiry moved from Perth to Darwin. It's

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 3>at two days in Darwen, then moved onto Alice Springs

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 3>on Friday last week and we heard some really substantial

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 3>evidence from the powerful Northern Land Council and their chair

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Matthew Ryan, who said, you know, from his opening statement,

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 3>he said, look, racism that is directed at Aboriginal people

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 3>is every day and it's increasing.

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 5>I wish all are you come and experience what we

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 5>experience every day. People are literally dying crying out loud

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 5>for help, whether it's health, educational or housing. I grew

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 5>up in one of them homelands. It was empowering back

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 5>then because ABTSK when we had the funding availability, it

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 5>was so strong. Now we don't have that anymore.

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 3>And then we heard the CEO of the Northern Land

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Council use of Deane talk about the impact of racism

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 3>on the youth.

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 6>The hostility is constant and it is escalating. What concerns

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 6>and I'll see the most is the impact on our

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 6>young people. When our original children see how their communities

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 6>are talked about online, it damages their sense of identity

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 6>and belonging. That harm is real and it is measurable.

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 3>We had others talk about, you know, failures in the

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 3>anti justice system and they called it, you know, a

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 3>jailing machine. And he compared the prison system to those

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 3>of a ghul Ad.

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 7>Not only do we have the highest imprisonment rac in

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 7>this jurisdiction, up to ninety percent of them, ninety percent

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 7>of them are black. That is astonishing, that is unbelievable,

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 7>that is intolerable. And yet I have watched in twenty

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 7>thirty forty years, I've watched the increase and it's now

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 7>going through the roof.

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 3>Others spoke about the examples of parents being fined Abrisinal

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 3>parents being fined I was school attendance. So they spoke

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 3>about structural racism, racism that exists in both policy and

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 3>in institutions. And this is off the back of what

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Ken Wyatt, who is the former Minister for Indigenous Australians,

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 3>had said in Perth, and he said that you know,

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 3>race is persistent, it's cumulative. It operates in education and

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.679
<v Speaker 3>health care, employment, it operates in our public spaces, it

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 3>operates in our justice system.

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 8>So the greatest challenge is not just the attitude of

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 8>individuals out in the field, it is our institutions across

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 8>this nation. If you looked at the West Australian this morning,

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 8>you would have seen a young Aboriginal man in an

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 8>emergency department was grabbed and held by the throat, which

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 8>I'm sure that they would not have done had it

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 8>been the western suburbs of Perth because he happened to

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 8>be an Aboriginal man in Klgooli. He was treated and

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 8>held by the throat and then eventually dropped to the floor.

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 8>That is not what you'd expect in an institution in

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 8>our nation.

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 3>But one of the things he spoke about is that

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 3>he's fear is that racism is going from those areas

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 3>into in person racism, So racism that has experienced on

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 3>the street, which is what we saw at the En

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Invasion Day rally on January twenty sixth earlier this year.

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Coming up how the Voice referendum became a turning point

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 2>for racism JP, a recurring theme in the evidence to

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>this inquiry was that the Voice referendum marked a turning

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>point in terms of racism becoming more openly expressed. What

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 2>did people say changed during and after that campaign in

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three.

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, A lot of the submissions that have been sent

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 3>to the inquiry and posted online, there's some six hundred

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 3>and seventy submissions. A lot of those point to social

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.839
<v Speaker 3>media as the number one platform where that racism is escalating,

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 3>and a lot of them are saying it's from the

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty three referendum. They say that racism was there

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 3>during the referendum campaign, particularly through misinformation and myths truth

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 3>about First Nations people. They've seen it continue and they

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 3>feel as though the referendum has given people permission to

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 3>continue those levels of racism and continue those levels of

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 3>misinformation all the way through to current times. The Northern

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Land Council spoke about posts that their children put up

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 3>or the youth put up, that are trolled right across

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Australia and in fact internationally through racist comments. We see

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 3>it ourselves at an ITV. We've had a huge escalation

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 3>in the amount of trolling on our sides and that

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 3>comes at a cost to the organization that we have

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 3>to engage external moderators to look after our social media content.

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.839
<v Speaker 2>And this inquiry it's happening at the same time as

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 2>the Royal Commission into Anti Semitism. So what do you

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 2>make of the way that it's been covered in the

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 2>media compared to the Commission.

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think there's been almost a silence from mainstream

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:57.680
<v Speaker 3>media on this inquiry when you compare it to the

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Royal Commission and the other inquiries into islam phobia going on. Look,

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I think the inquiry is one thing, and the agenda

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 3>of public hearings is another thing. To hear people's evidence

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.199
<v Speaker 3>and stories firsthand. What people are saying is the time

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 3>for action is now. That if you are serious in

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:20.680
<v Speaker 3>addressing the escalating racism that is directed towards First Nations people.

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 3>The time for action is now. So people are putting

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.959
<v Speaker 3>forward a wide range of recommendations, some that are saying, look,

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 3>we need more legislative clout, we actually need to make

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.439
<v Speaker 3>elements of racism illegal and actually enforce that through law.

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 3>We need to make people accountable, we need to make

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.959
<v Speaker 3>the platforms accountable. We need to have greater education. So

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 3>they're all hoping that this inquiry will lead to substantive change,

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 3>not just another report that makes a series of recommendations

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 3>that is not enacted and we still continue to see

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:56.719
<v Speaker 3>this escalation of racism.

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>So do you think this inquiry will spur action?

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.959
<v Speaker 3>I think going through a lot of the recommendations that

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 3>on the online submissions and hearing those who have given

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 3>evidence in the public'submission so far, a lot of people

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.120
<v Speaker 3>are saying that it's time for action now. So they're

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 3>wanting this inquiry to actually deliver substantive change in addressing

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 3>that racism directed at First Nations people. So they want

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:25.599
<v Speaker 3>to see some legislative reform. They want social media platforms

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 3>to be held accountable for the racism that is escalating

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 3>on their platforms. They want the ability for those racist

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 3>comments to be taken down, deleted and removed. So they

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 3>want real action and they're hoping that the Senate Inquiry

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 3>doesn't just deliver another report, particularly when it comes to

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 3>First Nation's issue, that is, delivers a range of recommendations

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 3>and those recommendations are not implemented or not enacted over

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 3>the coming years.

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Jffie, thank you so much for speaking with me.

0:13:59.080 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Thanks very much.

0:13:59.720 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 6>Great.

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Also in the news, Varnaby Joyce has denied One Nation

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 2>once a return to the White Australia policy. During a

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 2>podcast with far right activist Tommy Robinson, Pauline Hanson blamed

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>what she sees as Australia's problems with migration on the

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 2>end of the White Australia policy. Joyce has also backed

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Hanson's calls for mass deportations, suggesting illegal immigrants could be

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 2>targeted when they seek medical treatment. And Darren Hinch has

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>been farewelled at a state funeral for the former journalist

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>and senator The so called Human Headline died earlier this

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>month after a long battle with poor health. He's been

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 2>remembered as a journalist, campaigner and convict who has jailed

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 2>for his convictions after speaking out in breach of court

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 2>orders in multiple cases involving sex crimes and pedophilia. I'm

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Ruby Jones. This is seven am. Thanks pliciting

0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:15.400
