But where is the justice, if we say that we are concerned in this country about the human race, in a person born with some hideous congenital disability not being compensated for it? [More…]
It is complete heartbreak to see that pensioners who have received increases amounting to $ 1 1 in the pension since this Government came into power, plus a rise in rent assistance, are finding that they are off on the rat race once again. [More…]
Article 1, section 3 of the United Nations Charter states that one of the purposes of the United Nations is to promote and encourage respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion. [More…]
South Africa has violated that Charter for 25 years, not only in terms of its attitude to race but also in terms of its attitude to Nambia and to Southern Rhodesia to which it has supplied arms in direct violation of decisions made by the United Nations. [More…]
The Australian Government is seeking to have the United Nations accept a convention which is designed specifically to protect people whose lives are likely to be threatened because of their race, religion, political beliefs or nationality. [More…]
The immediate past Minister for Immigration recently said that any Australian Minister, public servant or government worker would be sacked on the spot if he sought to promote discrimination on the grounds of race, colour or creed. [More…]
It has changed our people from a confident private enterprising race to a population bewildered and despairing. [More…]
We gave $16m in the form of wheat to Bangladesh in a week that fortuitously Australians bet $20m on one horse race. [More…]
I think the reason for their exclusion and the Government’s wish to race this Bill through the House in the guise of electoral justice is really electoral advantage. [More…]
The types of courses that are available tend to become more and more specialist and in this way we are getting a race of people- we are breeding a race of students- who in some cases have a very narrow outlook into their specific area of learning. [More…]
No Government money, or very little, is spent on counselling, providing treatment, nutrition, rehabilitation or on any of the supports which are needed to get such a man back on his feet and out of the reverse rat race which he has entered. [More…]
I do not mean to criticise unduly those responsible for past decisions taken, because it is only in relatively recent years that the peoples of the world have come to realise the dangers to the human race and the damage that has been done by ill-considered development. [More…]
Some of these laws are discriminatory on grounds of race and others are of general application. [More…]
The United Nations Charter is based on the principles of dignity and equality inherent in all human beings and the Charter provides that one of the purposes of the United Nations is to promote universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race. [More…]
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the 25th anniversary of which was celebrated on 10 December 1973, proclaims that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set out in the Declaration, without distinction of any kind, in particular as to race. [More…]
The International Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Racial Discrimination (1965), which was signed on behalf of Australia by the then Minister for External Affairs, Mr Hasluck, on 13 October 1966, and to which 81 countries have subscribed, requires countries to prohibit racial discrimination in all its forms and to guarantee equality before the law without distinction as to race. [More…]
It further stated that gross denials of human rights arising from discrimination on grounds of race outraged the conscience of mankind. [More…]
They are intended to remove only elements of this legislation that are inconsistent with what the Australian Government regards as basic civil rights to be enjoyed by all Australians, without regard to race or colour. [More…]
Those of us who are gathered in this debate are representative of all the people, of differing and different points of view, religion, and race. [More…]
Through every one of the speeches of those who oppose completely this Bill and who propose this amendment runs the thread which suggests that the passage of this Bill will mean that people will race off, get married, separate, and then be divorced. [More…]
I rise to ask the Leader of the Opposition whether even at this late stage he will not make it clear to the Premier of New South Wales, Mr Lewis, not with the equivocation which he has so far shown on the great issue before us all at the present time, that if the Premier does not retreat from the stand that he has taken on the filling of the current Senate vacancy he, the Leader of the Opposition, the man bound to uphold the traditions of parliamentary democracy in this country, will not appear with Mr Lewis on the platform at the public meeting which is to be held at Randwick race course next Sunday. [More…]
The common law provides few effective remedies against discrimination in the exercise of human rights, whether it is based on race or colour or on any other grounds. [More…]
The BUI Will thus make it unlawful for a person to do an act involving discrimination based on race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin which impairs the enjoyment of fundamental rights and freedoms. [More…]
The Bill will guarantee equality before the law without distinction as to race. [More…]
The changing of community attitudes is a matter of vital significance in the field of race relations. [More…]
There is the tension, the rat race if you like, that is a feature of modern life. [More…]
We believe that all human beings are brothers, that they are equal and that anyone who discriminates against another human being because his colour is different or because he belongs to a different race or nationality is antiChristian, anti-democratic and anti-Australian. [More…]
In a recent statement the Minister said of a speech that the President of the Australian Medical Association, Dr Keith Jones, made that he was trying to race a lame horse. [More…]
If there are to be racecourses of the kind involving stock exchanges, there need to be a few stewards around. [More…]
In fact the racecourse analogy is not too bad a one to use. [More…]
The stock market is equated with the race track by most small traders, commonly referred to as ‘punters’ by the newspapers, and a quick killing is a predominant goal of even the well-educated. [More…]
If, in the days when the honourable member for Moreton had a lot more money than he assured us he had when he was discussing the financial interests of parliamentarians, he had invested all his money on a horse at 4 to 1 and the bookmakers had expected that its price would drift to 5 to 1 or 6 to 1 so that they would cover themselves, but it started at odds on, the bookmakers controlling the AJC Committee could cancel all bets on that particular race and start betting again. [More…]
He conceals the qualities of the race very well. [More…]
There is nothing whatsoever to profit mankind by taking the view that it is possible to assert a sense of superiority of one race over another. [More…]
Whatever the differences may be, those differences are not to be quelled by resorting to the view that one race is superior to another. [More…]
Invariably it comes back to the fact that one race has been intolerant of another and has sought to say: ‘They are inferior and as a consequence we will visit upon them the superiority of our might’. [More…]
For example, it is proposed that it is unlawful for a person to refuse another person access to any place on the grounds of race, colour or national or ethnic origin. [More…]
It is unlawful for a person, whether as principal or agent, to refuse or fail to dispose to another person an estate or interest in land by reason of race, colour or national or ethnic origin. [More…]
In language which I trust we all understand it is an offence to refuse to sell a house to a person because of his race, his colour or his national or ethnic origin. [More…]
Again all of us, I hope instinctively and certainly, educated by the melancholy experience of this century, would agree that that sort of thing is a very proper proposal for any society to embrace. [More…]
Perhaps someone will refuse to sell a house to a man because he is from another race, from Greece or Italy. [More…]
-Having just listened to about half an hour of verbosity from the honourable member for Moreton (Mr Killen) who sits opposite, I state that I still have no possible explanation of why he is really opposed to this legislation except to conclude that what he really seeks is to perpetuate in this country the existing situation in which people can and do commit acts which discriminate against people of particular races and hide behind supposed rights at law in order to protect themselves from being brought to justice for committing these acts. [More…]
Yet in 1965-10 years agothe Race Relations Act was passed in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Race [More…]
To substantiate this criticism, I believe one needs only to look at the second reading speech of the then Secretary of State for the Home Department in the House of Commons when that gentleman introduced the British Race Relations Bill in 1968. [More…]
It is therefore of not small importance to clearly establish that in broad terms the Bill is designed to protect individuals from situations of prejudice and disadvantage due to race rather than to suggest that confrontation should be encouraged or that solutions to problems should be sought through rigid legal process rather than by conciliation and compromise. [More…]
This is not a claim that there are not thousands of cases in Australia where individuals have been deliberately prejudiced or discriminated against due to race. [More…]
It was complacently believed that the poor old black fellow would die out, that he was the last representative of a dying race. [More…]
When the new generation of young Aboriginal people come to write the history of their race we will realise the extent of these atrocities. [More…]
The idea of the race dying away was replaced in the late 1940s and early 1950s by the idea that the Aboriginal people were disappearing in another way, that they were becoming just like us. [More…]
First, the Bill seeks to ensure that racial discrimination should be proscribed by law and fundamental rights and freedoms, without distinction as to race, should be guaranteed by law. [More…]
He warned that this form of nationalism could well lead to the destruction of the human race. [More…]
Had the atomic bomb been developed 5 years earlier Hitler could well have conditioned the people into accepting the destruction of a large percentage of the human race. [More…]
While I applaud the need for a national spirit and national pride in one’s race and country, I believe we should heed Lord Russell’s warning of national prejudice being commonly expressed and accepted as nationalism. [More…]
Clauses 9 and 10 make it unlawful for a person to do any act involving a distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin. [More…]
They mean that persons of a particular race, colour or national or ethnic origin shall enjoy the same rights as persons of another race, colour or national or ethnic origin. [More…]
In their article ‘The Sociology of Race Prejudice’ D ‘Alton and Bittman commenced: [More…]
At the time of Wilberforce there was no such thing as race prejudice- other races simply were inferior. [More…]
I put it to the Government that there is room in the context of this debate for the view that the real path to tolerance between the races and between persons of different race is not primarily to be found through legislative coercion. [More…]
The Minister for Aboriginal Affairs has provided the following answer to the right honourable member’s question: (1), (2) and (3) The Aboriginal Enterprises (Assistance) Act 1968 provided for the Capital Fund for Aboriginal Enterprises to extend financial assistance to enable persons of the Aboriginal race of Australia to engage in business enterprises that had prospects of becoming or continuing to be successful. [More…]
A reference in this Part to the doing of an act by reason of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of a person includes a reference to the doing of an act for two or more reasons that include the first mentioned reason, whether or not that reason is the dominant reason for the doing of the act. [More…]
to terminate any estate or interest in land of a second person or the right of a second person .to occupy any land or any residential or business accommodation, by reason of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of that second person or of any relative or associate of that second person. [More…]
After sub-clause (2), insert the following sub-clause: ‘(2a) It is unlawful for a trade union or any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of a trade union to prevent another person from offering for employment or from continuing in employment by reason of the race, colour, or national or ethnic origin of that other person or of any relative or associate of that other person. ‘ [More…]
The Opposition believes that there is merit in including in clause 15 a proviso making it unlawful for a trade union, or any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of a trade union, to prevent another person offering for employment or continuing in employment by reason of race, colour or national or ethnic origin. [More…]
It is interesting to comment that clause 14 prohibits the rules or other documents constituting or governing the activities of a trade union imposing any kind of hindrance regarding the joining of that union by reason of race or colour. [More…]
We therefore think that the Bill does not complete this process in a logical sequence by making it unlawful for the right of a person to offer and gain employment to be interfered with by a trade union on account of race or ethnic or national origin. [More…]
I think it is a commitment of all the major political parties of this country to make unlawful any incidence of discrimination in employment whether it be on the grounds of race, sex, colour or political or other opinions. [More…]
I know that the clause provides that it is unlawful for an employer or someone acting for him to refuse or fail to employ a person by reason of race, colour or national or ethnic origin. [More…]
If that person is a German, an Italian or of some other race he could say: ‘This man has sacked me because I am not a dinky-di Aussie’. [More…]
A reference in this Fart to the doing of an act by reason of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of a person includes a reference to the doing of an act for two or more reasons that include the first-mentioned reason, whether or not that reason is the dominant reason for the doing of the act. [More…]
Clause 1 8 deals with those situations where there are two or more reasons for a person doing an act, one of which is by reason of the race, colour, or national or ethnic origin of another person. [More…]
While I admit that the question of race discrimination is something in the hearts and minds of people, and it will not be resolved by law, the fact is that in this country the law is not only an expression as outlined in legislation but also it has to have the look of force or the effect of governmental power behind it before most people will take it seriously. [More…]
I know that those who would speak against the argument I am putting would inevitably point their finger at Nazi Germany, would inevitably draw attention to the dissemination of ideas in books and periodicals which seek to assert that one race is inherently superior to another. [More…]
Here again there would be no difference between the Government and, I think, the Oppositioncertainly myself- in relation to the intention, but I am worried as to the interpretation that might be placed on this proviso in a court of law if it had to take it into account in relation to an appeal under clause 10 of the Bill by a person of a non-Aboriginal race who was claiming the special rights that are given to the people of the Aboriginal race under legislation. [More…]
It states in part: ‘Islander’ means a person who is a member of the race to which Torres Strait Islanders belong; [More…]
I would like to point out to the House that there are people on islands in the Torres Strait who are not members of the race to which Torres Strait Islanders belong and to whom the Queensland legislation, that is the Torres Strait Islands Act of 1971, applies. [More…]
It is designed to ensure that any property in Queensland of an Aboriginal or Islander shall not be managed by any other person without the consent of the Aboriginal or Islander concerned except insofar as the general law in Queensland for the management of property applies without regard to race, colour or national or ethnic origins of persons. [More…]
He brought with him the concept- I ask honourable members to bear in mind that this was 15 years ago- that the South Australian Government was ruining the initiative and the individuality of the Aboriginal race by making it too easy for Aborigines to claim, for example, free tucker. [More…]
He said that this state of affairs was destroying the dignity and the individuality of the Aboriginal race in those areas. [More…]
Let us accept that there is discrimination and that much of the discrimination directed against the Aboriginal race is most unfortunate. [More…]
We have to develop that pride and that individuality in the Aboriginal race. [More…]
I hope that it is an attitude that will be adopted by other members of the Aboriginal race. [More…]
I hope that the Aborigines will take more pride in their race and that they will be encouraged by governments to hold up their heads and do their job of work to the benefit of the nation. [More…]
So we are here tonight to remove the discriminatory provisions that remain in the Queensland legislation, and to make provisions with respect to the people of the Aboriginal race of Australia and the race to which the Torres Strait Islanders belong for the purpose of preventing discrimination in certain respects against those peoples under the laws of Queensland. [More…]
He raised a question about the definition of ‘Islander’, and he reminded us that in the Torres Strait islands there are a number of people who are not of the Aboriginal race and not of the Torres Strait Islanders race but people who had come from other Pacific islands ethnically quite different. [More…]
The definition of ‘Islander’ states: ‘Islander’ means a person who is a member of the race to which Torres Strait Islanders belong; [More…]
It seems to me that this definition would automatically exclude from the operation of the Bill people who are living, and who perhaps for some generations have been living, on Torres Strait islands but who are not of the Torres Strait Islanders race. [More…]
I suggest that ‘Islander’ means a person who is a member of the race to which Torres Strait Islanders belong or is a Pacific Islander settled for at least one generation in the Torres Strait islands. [More…]
In my opinion and in the opinion of the Government, no group of people has the right to say to any other people of the same race: ‘You shall not enter upon this reserve’. [More…]
Perhaps it is because of our inability to understand the magnitude of the tragedy that this authority has been established as an advisory authority only- not as an enforcing authority that would make people who have been neglecting their obligation to the human race act in a more responsible manner. [More…]
They have designed cars which can be rolled, bashed and bent but the driver remains uninjured and in fact continues to race the same car the same day. [More…]
It has just become the conventional wisdom of those who ask us to fill out these forms to ask us not only our place of birth but also our nationality, age, marital status, race and religion. [More…]
It will provide a home for the works of Australian artists and all artists of the human race. [More…]
Nuclear brinkmanship, ideology, border disputes, race hate, religious bigotry, national ambitions, foreign exploitation all provide actual or potential sources of tension, conflict, bloodshed and war. [More…]
That $46 lm is being paid by the Australian taxpayer to people for doing nothing, paid for one of two reasons: Either there is no work for them or there is work but the scandalous way the Labor Party has softened the work test has allowed to flourish in this country a race of bludgers who are doing nothing, want to do nothing and yet are being paid for it by the Australian taxpayer. [More…]
It is catering for children who wish to go there after school to undertake some creative hobby, thus ensuring that the children who are there because of other circumstances feel that they are not a race apart. [More…]
With reference to investments on the Australian Capital Territory TAB, what was the average investment on metropolitan race meetings held on (a) Saturdays, (b) holidays and (c) weekdays on (i) win tote per race, (ii) place tote per race, (iii) quinella tote per race and (iv) daily double during the last month for which figures are available. [More…]
If people had not started they were out of the race. [More…]
-This is not the last half second of a Melbourne Cup race. [More…]
As far as this country is concerned, with a person going abroad and entering into what appears to be a polygamous union no great difficulty arises, but I venture to suggest that where a person comes from abroad where polygamous unions are permitted very grave problems can arise, particularly having regard to the fact that in recent years Australia has embarked upon what one may describe- I trust not offensivelyas a pluralistic society in terms of race. [More…]
We find that if the questioning gets too hard for the farm organisations they race off to have the rules changed. [More…]
Australia should plan to avoid any conflicts or frictions arising from racial or national differences and while doing so should be liberal in admission to Australia of people of any race or nationality who desire to come, especially those who are suffering from reprisals or discrimination in some other country. [More…]
Firstly, the growing body of Federal law in new areas, such as consumer protection, administrative law, the regulation of the securities and exchange industry and perhaps even the area of race relations would, if administered by State courts, place an added burden on courts where there are already delays due to the volume of litigation. [More…]
The Government has allowed expenditure to race ahead by the simple but irresponsible expedient of deficit financing. [More…]
The Race Relations Board of the United Kingdom has such a power. [More…]
The sole purpose of the provision is to prevent the conciliation processes of the Bill, which the Opposition supports, from being frustrated by non- cooperation of persons alleged to have discriminated on grounds of race. [More…]
The effectiveness of the Race Relations Board of the United Kingdom is widely recognised as being impeded by the absence of these powers and their absence in the United Kingdom permits the Board’s attempts at conciliation to be virtually ignored. [More…]
The Minister referred to the experience of the Race Relations Board in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The legislation in its amended form, which we welcome and which we support, now conforms to the Opposition’s view that the best way to promote harmony between the races in Australia is through the process of conciliation, education and- one hopes, in the long term- greater understanding between the races without the existence of legislative coercion of the type originally proposed. [More…]
We are a race apart. [More…]
There were reports of retribution killing and of killing of mixed race children which appeared prior to the surrender of Saigon. [More…]
The Australian and State Parliaments to pass Acts providing for human rights and civil liberties, and to take all possible legislative and administrative action and judicial proceedings to prevent infringement of such rights and liberties and in particular to prevent discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, sex, creed or politics. [More…]
They cannot be divided, and above all they should not be applied, on the basis of race or political belief. [More…]
For those with a sense of justice, for those who believe in the exercise of political rights by all people irrespective of race or creed it is a moment of achievement. [More…]
No discrimination on grounds of race, nationality, politics, creed or sex. [More…]
Clause (f) of the policy which provides that there shall be no discrimination on grounds of race, nationality, politics, creed or sex lies at the heart of Australia’s immigration policy. [More…]
It also means that Australia does not discriminate between refugees on grounds of race, nationality, politics - he mentioned it again- creed or sex. [More…]
There are some highly embarrassing examples which one could bring out in relation to people who were of mixed race. [More…]
We could possibly do as other Parliaments do and sit right through the lunch hour or the dinner time with a neutral period like a 6-day bike race when no divisions are called and a vote could be taken at a later time. [More…]
Lord knows that in this rat race in which we live it is hard enough to escape the raucous sporting crowd or the teeming multitudes in our cities. [More…]
If that is not killing a race of intelligent youth, I do not know what is. [More…]
Others will say that instead of training social scientists to manage the crazy rat race into which the world’s present civilisation is developing, we ought to be studying what the rat race is all about to try to prevent the rat race so that we do not need the social scientists to make it possible for us to cope with the madness of the present pace of life but that we slow down the pace of living. [More…]
So it seems we are running a very poor third in that race to try to brainwash the community. [More…]
While on this subject allow me to say that up to now these people have been a forgotten race. [More…]
They are open to everyone irrespective of their race, creed, colour or class. [More…]
More people than Neville Bonner can be pointed to these days as examples of people from the Aboriginal race who are successful. [More…]
Under this legislation an Aboriginal means a person who is a member of the Aboriginal race of Australians. [More…]
Is a man who is half Aboriginal a member of the Aboriginal race or is he a member of the European or some other race? [More…]
If he is three-quarter European is he a member of the Aboriginal or the European race? [More…]
My inclination is to use the widest possible terminology and to give some direction to the administrative system that that is the way the definition is to be applied- to say that an Aboriginal is a member of the Aboriginal race of Australia if he is accepted by the Aboriginal people and considers himself to be one of the Aboriginal people. [More…]
The last thing we would want would be race catalogues in which people would have to define their ancestry in such a way that they were able to say whether they were or were not Aboriginal people. [More…]
It may even be a kind of pattern which we- the superior race, or so we like to consider ourselves- should be imposing on other people, the lesser breeds without the law. [More…]
We talk about the Aboriginal race. [More…]
It seems to me that we should certainly define an Aboriginal as a person who is predominantly a member of the Aboriginal race and perhaps as a person who has been accepted in the community with which he is associated by reason of his conforming to its customs whatever they are. [More…]
It states: ‘Aboriginal’ means a person who is a member of the Aboriginal race of Australia. [More…]
They do not think of themselves as one Aboriginal race. [More…]
Whereas section 5 1 paragraph 26 of the Constitution confers on the Parliament of Australia the power to make laws with respect to ‘The people of any race for whom it is deemed necessary to make special laws’; and [More…]
Whereas the Australian people at a referendum of May 1967 indicated overwhelmingly their view that this Australian Parliament has a special obligation to make laws for the advancement of the people of Aboriginal race; and [More…]
Therefore in the opinion of this House, legislation should be introduced protecting the rights and standing of the Aboriginal people in the tribal lands affected by the Agreement, and providing for the recognition of traditional Aboriginal owners in the Aurukun area as those Aboriginal people who have common spiritual affiliations to a site on the land and who are entitled by Aboriginal tradition to forage as of right over that land; and providing for the recognition of traditions, observances, customs and beliefs as applied in relation to the people of Aboriginal race at Aurukun, and to sites and areas of land at Aurukun. [More…]
Normal cricket was defined in that resolution, as I understand it, as participation in competition between all players at club level regardless of race, creed or colour. [More…]
Let me say this to the people of Victoria: When you compare the results of the man who is now the Commissioner for race relations, Mr Grassby- a former Minister for Immigration- when 367 people stepped forward, with the results of the new Liberal Minister you will see that the new Minister has increased the previous number eleven-fold. [More…]
I ask the Minister for Defence: How did it come about that a private commercial organisation was allowed to- use Laverton air base for a motor cycle race meeting and to charge for admission to this defence facility? [More…]
His leader’s track work in this regard was champion but his race result, which is what matters, was dismal. [More…]
And on this planet whirling through space remove the barricades of pride and race, [More…]
There were 7 dissenters, although rather oddly one of them, Senator Wheeldon, signed both the report and the dissent, which might have been said to be backing each horse in the race. [More…]
I believe that the same level of assistance should be available to all, irrespective of race or colour, but it should be subject to a means test so that we are assisting those who are really in need. [More…]
Such courses would inevitably exacerbate the issues of race and colonialism on which the international community has slowly been working towards a difficult consensus. [More…]
I am sure that other members of the previous Committee on the other side of the House would agree with me that Dr Gun, the previous member for Kingston, Mr Oldmeadow, the previous member for Holt, and in particular Mr Race Mathews, the previous member for Casey, who was Chairman of the Committee, all worked laboriously in an effort to do what they could. [More…]
per se or towards assisting the human race. [More…]
As I have sat here over the years, I have found many times that there is a dilemma because on so many occasions when we vote to assist Australians in some area we do it to the detriment of other people of the human race. [More…]
These gestures of compassion by this Parliament line up very strangely against the amount of $20m which Australians spent last Saturday on race horses. [More…]
The honourable member for Kennedy comes from a hardy race. [More…]
Nuclear brinkmanship, ideology, border disputes, race hate, religious bigotry, national ambitions, foreign exploitationall provide actual or potential sources of tension, conflict, bloodshed and war. [More…]
The bearing of a child is described by Paul Ehrlich, that great gentleman, as a 9-months disease and the child itself is presented in many quarters as an evil and a menace to the human race. [More…]
May this provision not simply be encouraging the development of a race of female Bluebeards in our midst? [More…]
The same sort of thing happened in the coal industry when the Minister raced off to Japan in 1975. [More…]
Unfortunately there was a little affair going on in Australia about Arab money for which he had to race home. [More…]
The cost, which has been reported in the newspapers, will have been worth every cent if, as I hope, the real value of the report is felt in the way it can change the future of police-Aboriginal relationships, attitudes of courts and judges, prison officers and ultimately, one might hope, the future of race relations in Australia. [More…]
At a conference held in Canberra on 9 May 1958 between representatives of the airlines and the Government the Government’s policy to avoid a competitive equipment race for a multiplicity of jet types was explained to the domestic airlines. [More…]
They would finish the race before he got into the straight because this afternoon’s performance was an incredible tragedy. [More…]
Violence has been the history of the human race and it will be the history of any race whose political leaders advocate it. [More…]
This is so because it is not until we, as Australians, come to accept the problems of minority groups living by their different historic cultural values that better race relationships can be established. [More…]
Whereas Section 5 1 paragraph 26 of the Constitution confers on the Parliament of Australia the power to make laws with respect to ‘The people of any race for whom it is deemed necessary to make special laws’; and [More…]

Can a person be a member of 2 races at the same time? [More…]
Perhaps he is of either race. [More…]
To which race does he belong, or does he belong to 2 races? [More…]
Can a person belong to 2 races just as some persons can have dual nationality. [More…]
Further, both Acts forbid extradition where there are substantial grounds for believing that the alleged offender might be prejudiced at his trial in the foreign state by reason of his race, religion, nationality or political opinions. [More…]
I have compared the reporting of the lady reporters with the reporting of men- I have made a note of this because it has been my aim in life to overcome the discrimination against women which has been characteristic of the human race down through the centuries- and I am bound to say that the women reporters in this House are on the whole better than the men. [More…]
It is true that until 1967 the Constitution prevented this Parliament making laws or appropriations for people of the Aboriginal race in the States, but by an overwhelming majority in 1967 the Australian people determined that this should be a Federal responsibility. [More…]
I find that strange because the 3 Labor Ministers for Aboriginal Affairs and the policies they introduced regarding Aboriginal affairs have done more to destroy the Aboriginal race than anything else that has ever been introduced. [More…]
I would like to draw the attention of the House to the television ratings rat race. [More…]
The trouble is that this race to the top is run at the expense of the viewing public. [More…]
In the sense of vertical responsibilities the Commonwealth can be regarded as the chief steward on the race track and when the 6 States go around the track the Commonwealth wants to make sure that they weigh in at the right weight and not four or five kilograms short. [More…]
In the horizontal sense the Commonwealth can be regarded as the chief starter and when it starts the race the gates open equally for every State. [More…]
They are a wonderful race of people. [More…]
And that we then say to the sportsmen and to the world that we grant the opportunity to every sportsman and to every sportswoman, irrespective of race or colour or creed, to reach the highest rung, unrestricted, within his own national bounds. [More…]
And further to grant every sportsman and woman in S.A., irrespective of colour, race, creed or whatever, the opportunity to compete with the sportsmen of other nations in S.A., and with the best sportsmen of any other country in the world.’ [More…]
I would also like to have incorporated in Hansard a letter from Mr Hassan Howa who is a friend of mine and who was formerly President of the South African Mixed Race Cricket Association. [More…]

Should this trend continue it could lead to an arms race of dangerous dimensions. [More…]
The two leaders agreed that the fact there was a possibility of a renewed arms race between the super powers gave cause for concern, and any shift in the global balance between the super powers could have far-reaching implications for the long-term security of the region. [More…]

While the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs which I chair at this time has a responsibility and a reference from the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Mr Viner) to examine alcohol problems faced by the Aboriginal race, it does not look at those problems in isolation.

As a race we have not even had the decency to record the history of the Aborigines. [More…]

[More…]
That proposal sought to remove any ground for the belief that the Constitution discriminated against people of the Aboriginal race and at the same time to make it possible for the Commonwealth Parliament to enact special laws for those people. [More…]
But, for heaven’s sake, the Government should have seen enough of the world now to know that race issues are very vital issues indeed. [More…]
If you reject a man on the grounds of his politics or his religion, he may change them to please you, but if you reject him on the ground of race in any way whatsoever by discrimination in regard to his land rights, there is no way in the world he can change his race to please you. [More…]
Many peoples in the world regard this whole question of race relations as the litmus test of what other nations are really on about. [More…]
If anyone liked to research the history of race relations in certain phases of Queensland’s history, he could build up a more disastrous case than could be built up against South Africa. [More…]
It is worth something, in our relations with a good many other countries, that we should ourselves be above suspicion on race questions. [More…]
It is no Utopian objective of equal opportunity for all; it is simply a matter of trying to establish a situation in which the disadvantaged get a run in the race which every day is being made more difficult by the economic obstacles erected by this Government. [More…]
I am sure Opposition members have not forgotten the first draft of their race relations Bill which, before it was amended and the amendments were eventually accepted in the Senate, provided massive fines for persons who could be called into the office of the Commissioner without having any say and without being told who was their accuser and could be fined huge sums of money without any recourse to the law.

These people have been deprived of the pleasure and the opportunity of watching the centenary cricket test and of sharing a sense of belonging to our race and country. [More…]
These people took over their land with optimism and enthusiasm at the turn of this decade and at this moment their attitude is not pessimism but revealing in that it demonstrates the adaptability of the human race, for these people will not be defeated nor will they retreat from their responsibilities. [More…]
We are talking about something which I believe and which Mr Justice Fox and his Commission think is the most important issue ever faced in this country, because it is not only a question of what the high level or low level wastes might do to Australians in the mining, milling and enriching of uranium but also a question that can affect the whole of the human race and life on this planet. [More…]
That country is also heavily involved in the arms race. [More…]
I do not in any way mean that we should discriminate against any person on any of the grounds that we would abhor, namely, race, colour, creed or the like. [More…]
In our own selfishness we are being blind to the fact that the whole human race is one, that biologically, in ecological survival terms, we are artificially and ineffectually divided into sovereign states. [More…]
The President of the United States of America sends his Secretary of State, Mr Cyrus Vance, to Moscow to talk with President Brezhnev about the question of a genuine and worthwhile cutback in the nuclear arms race. [More…]
American-Soviet talks on curbing the nuclear arms race collapsed in Moscow today. [More…]
The Soviet arms race is, I believe, a matter of concern. [More…]
When we can have a situation in which one super power can simply turn its back on reason and discussion designed to halt the nuclear arms race; when we have a situation in which one super power can thumb its nose at the world, I believe every Australian who is concerned about the future of this country, and the world, has a duty to speak out as I have done tonight, no matter what the honourable member for Melbourne and his pro-communist allies like to say on the subject. [More…]
There should be no discrimination on the grounds of race, nationality, politics, sex or creed. [More…]
Such is the extent of Mr Grassby ‘s overpowering awareness of race differences that his obsession with them blinds him. [More…]
He claimed that because I had said that a group of Aborigines had formed a co-operative or a group I had insulted an entire race. [More…]
Already employees have fallen behind in the race. [More…]
It is the survival of the human race. [More…]

Under the Constitutionfrom the outset- the Federal Government has been able to make laws on immigration and also to make laws for the people of any race for whom it is deemed necessary to make special laws. [More…]

[More…]
One can see that it is a losing race for the developing countries. [More…]
The report talks about the consequences of the Middle East arms race. [More…]
Somehow this race has to be slowed down and reversed. [More…]
There is a very great diversity of race, culture and religion in the areas and the peoples of the Middle East. [More…]
The 1967 referendum altered that part of the Constitution to provide that the Commonwealth had the power to makelaws in respect of people of any race for whom it is deemed necessary to make special laws. [More…]
Yet the package- it was literally a packagepresented to the House failed utterly to deal with the central questions involved in uranium mining and the global nuclear industry- the questions raised by the Fox Commission; questions of immense gravity for Australia and the human race. [More…]
It goes on to state in respect of race relations: [More…]
Nuclear opponents claim that plutonium is the ‘most toxic substance known to man’ and that a quantity of plutonium of the size of an orange would be sufficient to give every member of the human race lung cancer. [More…]
Secondly, more and more governments over the whole spectrum of political persuasions have come to the decision that the development of nuclear energy for peaceful purposesthat means essentially the generation of electricity- is essential if the world’s energy requirements in the 1980s, the 1990s and beyond are to be met without hardship, deprivation and starvation to many millions of people irrespective of race, colour or creed. [More…]
The EEC is going to run its race on this issue, and it will be on the basis of what is best for them both with respect to economy and with respect to the casualties that might flow from a world war. [More…]
In other words the EEC is not going to agree within itself even on this issue, and that is normal in the rat race of economic superiority, particularly in Europe. [More…]
The discussion about uranium is about survival, about whether there is to be a human race in the years to come; about whether the people who now live on this globe and who have access to control over uranium resources and the benefits which may flow from the mining and marketing of them are to benefit in their lifetimes at the expense of the survival of generations in the future. [More…]
The uranium debate boils down to the simple conclusion that it is the greed for material gain of a small number of people in their lifetime taking precedence over the risk to survival of the human race. [More…]
The disposal of waste from the use of uranium is an issue which goes to the fundamental survival of the human race, but the Prime Minister is prepared to deliberately misrepresent the facts on this subject. [More…]
It has been suggested that we would be creating all sorts of difficulties and that half the human race could be wiped out. [More…]
We would be left only with the radioactive waste which would render the genes of the human race liable to distortion and mutation for the next 500,000 years. [More…]
The Government has run its race. [More…]
The race to abdication, the haste with which this Government is abandoning responsibility, can be seen by contrasting the 1977 Budget with the Hayden Budget of two years earlier. [More…]
Both the capitalist and the Marxist see human happiness depending upon economic growth but our experience with economic growth- the pursuit of it, the rat race that it involves, the acquisitive alienated society which it produces- should have demonstrated that that is a myth. [More…]
Human happiness does not result from this unlimited consuming economy, this unlimited race for economic growth. [More…]
I think it comes partly from their habit of trying to back every horse in the race so that no matter what happens they can say they predicted it. [More…]
It mattered not at all that the implications of such a successful move would have been the transportation of the destabilisation of the international arms race to Australian shores. [More…]
Secondly, is the child fostered, if possible, to a satisfactory Aboriginal family, having regard to the overtones from the past in taking an Aboriginal child from his own race? [More…]
Unless he gives much more money, let me make it clear that that proposal will have the effect of increasing the queue for building funds; the more affluent people will joint the rat race with the less affluent, and the most needy people will probably be the ones who will be unable to demonstrate a capacity to repay, even though they would be just as suitable as tenants as some other people. [More…]
discrimination or unequal status based on race cannot be eliminated, and may not even be affected, by preventing the collecting of data which will reveal its extent, in all probability this will merely allow inequalities to continue unchecked, especially since those responsible can then deny the inequalities exist. [More…]
As all this legislation applies, inter alia, to the proscription of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation, at least on the grounds of race and sex, it does provide some legislative basis for giving effect to some of the provision of ILO Convention No. [More…]
Ill, even in respect of race and sex, has given rise to questions of jurisdiction, to demarcation disputes, as well as to problems of duplication, overlap and uncertainty, as well as to confusion among the Australian community, and very real difficulties from the point of view of the Employment Discrimination Committees. [More…]
I am not a racing man, but I understand that Amalgamated Wireless Australasia Ltd built a computerised automatic totalisator for the Sydney racecourses, it was installed in May or June last year and it has broken down innumerable times. [More…]
For two race meetings recently it could operate for only three of the races. [More…]
It was made in support of the human race. [More…]
It is one of the most important debates of our time because it deals with the whole future of mankind, the whole future of the human race. [More…]
So the stations, whether they like it or not, are now engaged in a pornography race, each being compelled by the needs of their own viability to engage in as much pornography as they can get away with. [More…]
It is exactly the same kind of thing with an arms race. [More…]
Unless there is some regulation, everybody has to engage in the arms race because otherwise they cannot survive. [More…]
We have an arms race in the world because there is no real regulatory body. [More…]
The position in the world today is that countries have to engage in the arms race whether they like it or not. [More…]
So in this less comprehensive field of broadcasting and television, the companies are compelled, by the requirements of their viability, to engage in a pornography race. [More…]
If there are no regulations, for reasons of viability each company has to go as far as it can in the pornography race. [More…]
And the Labor Party has not even entered the race yet. [More…]
I strongly urge the Minister for Primary Industry (Mr Sinclair) and the Australian Government to look very carefully at joint fishing ventures and not to race with too much haste into those proposals that might be on the Minister’s desk at the moment. [More…]
I give a promise to this Parliament, to my colleagues and to the party I represent that I will use my best endeavours to ensure that those people are fairly represented, without fear or favour, without concern for their race, or religion. [More…]
’, he would say that it was a race track somewhere up in the country. [More…]
I understand that the club to which he belongs intends to promote a relay race to be known as a city to city relay which will take place between Sydney and Melbourne. [More…]
This will be a race consisting of teams comprising either amateur or professional runners. [More…]
-I expect that the race will be direct between Sydney and Melbourne but if honourable members would like it to come through Canberra perhaps that suggestion could be considered. [More…]
I have no doubt that they would be allotted some handicap allowance or some other provision to help to make them competitive in the race. [More…]
The honourable member for Robertson suggests that a team from the Parliament may enter the race. [More…]
I think that would be tremendously exciting and very well received by the sponsors of this race. [More…]
Australia, largely due to the neglect of the Liberals, has slipped behind in the race to acquire its share of the tourist dollar. [More…]
A policy that pretends to foster equal social development but which involves permanent separation of the races and permanent political inferiority on one race will not, and cannot, succeed. [More…]
The January 1978 report of Amnesty International on political imprisonment in South Africa records that in October 1977 the South African Institute of Race Relations issued figures on the number of people detained. [More…]
The African group includes ‘any person who is or who is generally accepted as a member of an aboriginal race or tribe of Africa’. [More…]
Station 2UE is one of the stations in Sydney which broadcasts the races. [More…]
The stations broadcast the prices less than 10 minutes before the start of a race whereas betting on the TAB in New South Wales closes 10 minutes before the start and you have no chance of getting a bet on with the TAB after that time. [More…]
Obviously the only purpose in broadcasting the prices- and I am thankful for the stations doing this- is for the benefit of those people who want to bet SP, and of course the stations make a profit out of the advertising associated with race broadcasts. [More…]
The further we went down the track the plainer it became that there was only one proper course, and that was retendering a fair race for the tenderers whoever they may be. [More…]
I consider it a good thing that the relatively small membership of the Commonwealth, with its heavy representation of Third World countries, exposes the Government to more searching scrutiny of its policies, especially on questions involving race, than would be the case if our international appearances were confined to the larger, more anonymous forums. [More…]
The people of any race, for whom it is deemed necessary to make special laws: [More…]
Dr D. Race representing the Victorian Hospitals and Charities Commission [More…]
So we had even at that early stage one week’s start for IBM in this rather competitive race. [More…]
Commonwealth, given by the 1967 referendum, to make special laws for the people of any race for whom it is deemed necessary. [More…]
What upsets me more than anything else is the bitterness which the Premier of Queensland is engendering in the minds of Queenslanders and the feeling that they are a separate State and a separate race. [More…]
Although statistics on this matter are not at present distinguishable by race, there are a small number of Aboriginal children with known, significant, permanent hearing defects who have not been fitted with hearing aids for various cultural and psychological adjustment reasons. [More…]
This included a definition of a refugee as ‘any person who, owing to a wellfounded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political group, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it’. [More…]
I would have reservations about handing out taxpayers ‘ money towards propping up an organisation that had made a bad business decision; that had lost the race in the competitive market forces that we respond to. [More…]
Since then the man involved has bought a $4m property on the Queensland Gold Coast on which to build his own mini city, has acquired expensive race horses and has set up a horse breeding establishment with one of Australia’s leading jockeys. [More…]
I refer, for example, to its horrific original version of its Race Relations Act under which a person could have ended up in gaol for saying boo to a goose and also to its Inter-State Commission which contained shocking penal powers. [More…]
But we must ask ourselves whether we are trying to bring up a race of young North Americans. [More…]
He has met with legislators, judges, lawyers, police officers, civil rights and race relations workers, and legal aid bodies and has had discussions with officers of the State Department, the Department of Justice, Depanment of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Federal Contracts Compliance Program, the Women’s Bureau of the U.S. Depanment of Labor, the Library of Congress, and a number of other agencies, and has had discussions with officers of the Supreme Court of the United States, and several other courts, civil and criminal. [More…]
But they all pale into insignificance compared with the threat to the world and to the continuance of humanity by the great arms race which continues, despite the change in the world at large. [More…]
Not the fact that they had a common race, a common language and common interests and background but the total scrapping of fortifications along the line of the frontier. [More…]
What we should be doing is initiating an attitude that no arms race shall occur here. [More…]
The thought of an arms race is quite ridiculous when one considers the history of this country and this region and considers the foreseeable future. [More…]
There is no doubt- and a great body of world opinion now accepts this-that the arms race is the greatest threat to the security of the world. [More…]
We should try to let people see that a common-sense approach to the modern world does not require the re-equipment of armies and the fantastic expenditure and intellectual energy that goes into the arms race. [More…]
In either event, whoever comes out ahead in the race to develop them will be in a position to change the course of history. [More…]
Under the NPT, the nuclear weapons states have undertaken to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to the cessation of the nuclear arms race. [More…]
Strategic arms limitation is the only long term guarantee that the human race will not be involved in a holocaust. [More…]
But the real threat to humanity comes from what has now become the arms race. [More…]
We have to do everything in our power to reduce the expenditure on arms, the impact of our arms expenditure in this region and use whatever influence we have with our neighbours to prevent them embarking on an arms race. [More…]
If it does not work out it could cause great harm, not just for this nation but perhaps for the whole human race- I mean if the whole question of control of nuclear waste and nuclear controls is not reconciled. [More…]
Possibly we could have an arrangement with colleges of advanced education, like the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education in Toowoomba, to have a part external studies course, because unless farm leaders have specialised training we will reach a situation where they will be left behind in the race to represent their people. [More…]
There is to be, as well as the landing by Charles Kingsford-Smith, a commemorative air race. [More…]
Section 10 of that Act provides, in effect, that all persons regardless of race, colour or national or ethnic origin, have equal rights in law, notwithstanding that a law, or part of a law, of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory might provide to the contrary. [More…]
Thus it would be a more effective way of halting the nuclear arms race. [More…]
Universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion. [More…]
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, binh or other status. [More…]
Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. [More…]
Civil celebrants are a special and rare race. [More…]
It is disturbing enough as the honourable member for McMillan (Mr Simon) said that as a civilised race we find people of all ages submitting themselves to this drug. [More…]
In other words, its aim is gradually to wipe out the Aboriginal race and make them become imitations of white people and, on the basis of the way in which the policy is being carried out at the present time, second class citizens. [More…]
This is the worst thing that can happen to any race of people. [More…]
It means their losing their national identity and their traditional way of life and being destroyed as a race of people. [More…]
In some areas the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr Peacock) and his Department have influenced the Prime Minister, notably in the retention of progressive approaches to race and to the new international economic order embarked upon by Labor. [More…]

[More…]
They all reflect that race and a sense of class is demonstrable within Australia, especially in relation to our immigration policies. [More…]
and (3) With its ratification (in 1 973) of this ILO Convention, the Government is committed to eliminating discrimination in employment and occupation on the grounds of, inter alia, race or national extraction. [More…]
Persons who consider they have been discriminated against in their employment on grounds of race or national or ethnic origin may, alternatively or additionally, lodge a complaint with the Commissioner for Community Relations under the provisions of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975. [More…]
Australian industry has fallen behind in the export race. [More…]
More particularly on that subject we have seen a special report by a United Nations expert group on the economic and social consequences of the arms race and military expenditure. [More…]
Of course, we want the law to have persons who represent high standards in the community regardless of their background, family, race, colour or creed. [More…]
That is a clear case of a man applying his conscience and doing what was necessary regardless of any prejudice one way or the other to a person on the ground of his race. [More…]
Recognition of the need for undertakings by all states in regard to nuclear non-proliferation objectives and for all nuclear transactions to be under effective international safeguards; the importance of substantive measures of nuclear disarmament by the existing nuclear weapon powers both as an objective in its own right and as an inducement to strengthening the existing non-proliferation regime; the urgent requirement for a comprehensive nuclear test ban and a new SALT agreement; and the desirability of a cessation of production of fissionable material for weapons purposes by the nuclear powers as a step towards scaling down the arms race. [More…]
He is going to be supported in a few moments by a man well known on the Flemington race track, the honourable member for Parramatta (Mr John Brown), who is from New South Wales. [More…]
He should not think that he can act in the same way as on a racecourse; buy a race horse, give it to Bart Cummings and have it come about sixteenth in a field of seventeen. [More…]
In view of the impact on race relations and the labour market of such an influx into Australia, will the Minister discuss with Commonwealth and other governments the possibility of early action on an international basis to achieve international refugee arrangements to cope with this expected exodus, as a unilateral response by Australia would be undesirable?

[More…]
This phoney Government really wants to make a fast buck, and it does not care about the spread of nuclear weapons or about the future of the human race. [More…]
Leaving such a decision in the hands of doctors, with no possibility of adequate review, is opening a Pandora ‘s Box of discriminatory possibilities on the basis of race, creed, colour, age and sex. [More…]
If he agrees with the view of the National Population Inquiry that failure to collect data which will reveal the extent of discrimination or unequal status based on race will in all probability merely allow inequalities to continue unchecked, especially since those responsible can then deny that the inequalities exist, what action has he taken to have Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders separately identified from non-Aboriginals in imprisonment censuses in Queensland as already is done in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia, and in court statistics in Queensland as already is done in Western Australia (Hansard, 13 October 1977, page 2054).
