The most despicable part of the article, however, was the implication that all the talk about environment is really a front for old fashioned racism and a desire to return to ‘Australian dreams of isolation and primitivism’. [More…]

This racism, this fear, this sickness has to stop. [More…]
And we must do all in our power to persuade Mr McMahon that Australia’s token opposition to South African racism must be consistent and effective, that because of his mistake the world now sees Australia as permissively racist - and that would be the most charitable impression of us in the capitals of Asia. [More…]
I wonder how many of us here in this House have any idea of the emotions that are aroused when the subject of racism is discussed? [More…]
This should not be done only because of the fact that they are the Aboriginal people but it should also be done for the betterment of people in the broader Australian community because there are problems of social tensions and racism developing in inner city areas of all our great cities, including Brisbane, which result from bad housing for Aboriginal people and the complaints that we are getting now in increasing numbers from their neighbours. [More…]
These problems include such areas as resource recycling and substitution, population controls, better ecosys.tems management, better urban planning and design and problems within man himself such as the roots of disruptive human behaviour and racism. [More…]

[More…]
Its members gave a disgusting exhibition of racism at its very worst. [More…]
Of course, we cannot interfere in the internal policies of other countries, but an internal policy can become so notorious and divisive that it becomes an international issue, and when it becomes an international issue a country such as Australia must take a stand and sooner or later Australia will have to take more positive a stand on these divisive’ international issues of race and racism. [More…]
The Minister for Immigration who interjects, but who, without any conscience or without any sense of moral responsibility, has tried to inject crude racism into the impending election campaign centred about immigration policy. [More…]

Such is the taint of his sympathy for Mr Vorster’s racism that he dared not and would not criticise it at the highest level available to him here, that is. [More…]
Likewise, the resort of the Prime Minister to the Embassy for counselling and advice on what he should do with regard to Vorster’s racism illustrates all too clearly that the foreign policy of Australia on this vital ma’ter was decided not by the Australian Government but by the representative of the Vorster regime in Canberra. [More…]

Racism is the ultimate violence because it begins and ends with the denial of a man’s basic humanity. [More…]

In the motion before the House the Australian Labor Party has chosen to level the charge of racial prejudice and racism against this Government and this side of the House. [More…]

Australia has been damaged in the past by some who, for their own particular purposes, have laid against us recklessly, carelessly and without caring whether it be true or false the charge of racism and racial prejudice, and a lot of them are on the Opposition side of the House. [More…]
Racial prejudice, racism, is an ugly phrase which describes an ugly aspect of human relationships. [More…]
They are tired of a government that gets its policies from the gallup poll; that reacts to every test of leadership and statesmanship by playing on every prejudice and fear lying dormant in the community; that acts in every national or international crisis only in terms of the political advantage it can squeeze out of it - whether it be China, South Africa, Bangladesh or French nuclear tests, or whether it be poverty, industrial relations, racism or rural depression. [More…]

[More…]
1 deplore the dreadful racism involved, but 1 wish to discuss the effect of this non-selective white immigration. [More…]
One need not reiterate here the United Nation’s failure to act over the Munich assassinations, its failure to act against hijacking or its double standards of placing sanctions on Rhodesia for alleged racism but failing to act against Uganda. [More…]

[More…]
Whenever people say that matters like world government, the disappearance of racism, the abolition of poverty and the effective use and conservation of the earth’s resources are unattainable ideals, I think of an illustration I once saw on the cover of the Victorian Teachers Journal’. [More…]
Racism can never be wholly eliminated by the legislative actions of governments but substantial advances can and must be made in some of the areas to which I have drawn attention. [More…]
Will consideration be given by the Government to implementing or setting up a national committee to combat racism and racial discriminanon which would include groups from all sections of the community so that as well as educating our black population we can start to educate our white population as to the reasons for the plight of underprivileged groups of people, not only Aborigines but other sections of the community such as national groups and ethnic groups? [More…]
All I think I can say about the general matter which the honourable gentleman raised - I would like to praise him for his attitude throughout his life in this Parliament as well as outside for his many activities in this field - is that the Australian Government is resolved to press ahead by every constitutional method available to it - in particular since the 1967 referendum and under the external affairs power - to see that any traces of racism in Australia’s legislation or administration are expunged. [More…]
This day commemorates the temporary triumph of nazism, racism and anti-semitism in Yugoslavia. [More…]
Our thinking is towards a more independent Australian stance in international affairs and towards an Australia which will be less militarily oriented and not open to suggestions of racism; an Australia which will enjoy a growing standing as a distinctive, tolerant, cooperative and well regarded nation not only in the Asian and Pacific region but in the world at large. [More…]
It was we who took the initiative in opposing our participation in the Vietnam conflict, in calling for more foreign aid, in proposing an end to racism in our international dealings, in co-operating with the movement of self government and independence for Papua New Guinea and in opening up normal relations with China.

The picture, in general, is one of needless misery, unenlightened policies, unfair restrictions on liberty and blatant racism. [More…]
Racism and racial discrimination are the products of ignorance and misconception. [More…]
Racism is a nasty, dirty word. [More…]
Racism is to be found in all political parties. [More…]
In his speech introducing this report the Minister said that blatant racism is being engendered in the Northern Territory. [More…]
I would say that blatant racism is being engendered in the Northern Territory and has been engendered there far quicker under this Government than under any government since I have lived there, and that includes the previous Labor government over 23 years ago. [More…]
When one considers the Nazi Party one has to take the view that it is hardly in the same accord or category of organisations as would be called political parties because it rests almost entirely on a principle of violence, racism, anti-semitism, the repudiation of all democratic principles, the fuehrer principle and the negation of everything which the democratic principles reflect and for which this Parliament, for example, stands. [More…]
We are no longer stamped with the taint of racism. [More…]
I make it perfectly clear so that it is on the record that I am not a racist, nor do I condone racism. [More…]
I want to say something about the racism that is being whipped up in this chamber today by the Opposition. [More…]
It is a sad thing, I think, that members of the Opposition should seek to whip up an attitude of racism just to gain some petty political point. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition has a responsibility to say where he stands, and I have given him a very courteous invitation to express himself because a senior member of the Liberal Party has called for a return to discrimination, a return to racism and a return to past policies. [More…]
The people of Australia voiced their opposition to the tour, but so keen was the then Prime Minister to show his support for racism that he threatened to use the Royal Australian Air Force to transport the team if necessary to ensure that the tour continued. [More…]

Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination’, as part ofthe United Nations program for the year that I have mentioned. [More…]
I quote from F. S. Stevens’ introduction to ‘Racism- the Australian Experience’. [More…]
There are classic illustrations to which one can point of the existence of racism in this country. [More…]
The Opposition condemns racism in all its forms. [More…]
However the Opposition will move to amend this legislation because it firmly believes that the Bill in its present form will infringe upon the rights of the individual and exacerbate racism in this country. [More…]
As each victim of the provisions of this legislation as it now stands is sentenced, a growing reservoir of bitterness, hatred and racism will swell in our society. [More…]

The ingredients that produce national prejudice can produce bigotry, racism and political fanaticism. [More…]
Although the ideas may be quite abhorrent- as I say, racism is abhorrent- such a prohibition, in my view, in the way in which it is to be administered is illiberal. [More…]
The Opposition will move amendments in the Committee stage, not designed to condone racism but intended to dismantle what could well become a legisltive monster that would be more suited perhaps to a totalitarian type of dictatorship where the rights and privileges of the individual are of no consequence but where the rights of the state are supreme. [More…]
The systematic mass genocide of 6 million Jews and other ethnic groups- I mention other ethnic groups because it was not simply Jews who were persecuted and exterminatedled to a recognition by the world that racism was the vilest of all evils and that everything that was humanly possible should be done to stamp it out. [More…]
I do not wish to canvass the whole history of racism throughout the world. [More…]
It is not enough to say that racism exists in other countries or to make the excuse that racism is an inherent part of human nature. [More…]
I am one of those who firmly believe that there is little one can do to legislate hatred and prejudice out of the hearts and minds of individuals, but a legislative framework that makes it illegal to commit acts of racism creates a community atmosphere that will have both a short term and a long term benefit. [More…]
But racism does not involve only the Eric Butlers in this world. [More…]
Racism is not confined to one side of the House or one side of the community. [More…]
Australia has an unfortunate history of racism. [More…]
We have racism in clubs and in pubs. [More…]
Unfortunately there are still many clubs- probably many of us belong to such clubs- which engage in this racism. [More…]
It is very difficult to root out racism in an adult of 30 or 40 years of age. [More…]
This could be done by making part of the curriculum an overt attempt to eliminate racism- the sort of racism that unfortunately is carried on from the family dinner table, from father to son and so on through the various generations. [More…]
We will eliminate it in the textbooks of the schools and in the media by consciously making television and radio broadcasts and printing newspaper articles and so on in which the evils of racism are explained to people- not just the evils of it but that it is wrong, that there is no basic difference between people of different colours, skins and religions and so on. [More…]
I do not know whether I can convince them that they are wrong but I genuinely believe that legislation used with discrimination, not used with the mailed fist, can be the framework for the next great push in Australia to eliminate racism and racial discrimination. [More…]
On 23 July 1975 the Prime Minister announced that the Australian Government had decided to initiate a special survey of Vietnamese refugees who had settled recently in Australia He announced that the survey would take approximately 5 years, would be conducted by Dr Jean Martin of the Australian National University and would encompass such things as the refugees’ reasons for leaving their own country; their social characteristics; their aspirations in their new homeland; what Australian Government assistance in maintenance and welfare they requested, or needed and received; the problems they thought they might have to face in settling in Australia and how these compared with the problems actually encountered; the problems of culture and language difference that they had to face; what happened to their cultural identity in the process of resettlement; and to what extent, if at all, they suffered from racism. [More…]
But surely in the interests of racial harmony and of the acceptance of the Government’s program- it involves expenditure in excess of $3 5m- of the acceptance of the program of housing these people in the cities, it would be wise not to flutter a flag which could initiate or awaken racism which may be nonexistent or dormant in the minds and hearts of white people. [More…]
In a way this is an expression of what goes by the name of racism in its most acute form. [More…]
It is a very distressing fact, but a fact nonetheless, that our society, our culture is infested with a dangerous trend towards racism. [More…]
I hope that we can look forward to the day when racial prejudice will be a thing of the past, but we must honestly admit that racism does exist. [More…]

It does little credit to any honourable member to introduce the term ‘racism’ to this Parliament and this country when we are endeavouring to integrate people from over 100 different countries, particularly when such a charge cannot be backed up by the facts. [More…]
I made this suggestion simply because the booklet was not of a standard which in my view would bring any credit to the Commissioner or further the cause of those of us in the community who are opposed to racism and to discrimination based on racism. [More…]
He has damaged Australia’s relations with our largest neighbour, damaged our relations with one of the world’s two superpowers, damaged our relations with the ASEAN nations, damaged our relations with the non-aligned countries, and compromised Australia’s opposition to racism in Southern Africa. [More…]
The non-aligned world, like the entire civilized world, will reject the Fraser Government’s flirtations with racism. [More…]

He tried to charge this Government with racism when he knows quite well that all Australians deplore the policies of apartheid; that this Government put clearly on record its view on apartheid. [More…]
The Government is quite clear in its opposition to any form of racism. [More…]

I draw the attention of the House to a scurrilous advertisement that appeared in the Australian of 29 October last, which sets out the most infamous resolution ever passed by the United Nations, whereby Zionism was said to foster the growth of racism and racial discrimination. [More…]
Racism and racial discrimination, including apartheid, are abhorrent not only to the people of Israel but also to all other peoples of the world who similarly cherish democracy. [More…]
The Government of which I am honoured to be a supporter quite properly regards the equation of Zionism with racism as totally infamous. [More…]
It is therefore the duty of all people and Governments to join the struggle against any form of colonialism, foreign aggression and occupation, domination, apartheid and all forms of racism and racial discrimination referred to in the resolutions as adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations. [More…]
He is a man who connived at the grossest form of racism. [More…]
The Treasurer has never missed an opportunity in this place to use the basest form of racism. [More…]
The first aspect is the chauvinistic nationalism which often leads to racism and opposition to other countries, not on the basis of their policies but on the basis that they are Americans or Indonesians or Japanese or Russians or Chinese or Arabs or Israelis. [More…]
It may not be Mr Grassby’s fault, but he has given the community the distinct impression that he has a pre-occupation with the subject of racism to an extent which seriously impedes his judgment. [More…]
As I was about to say, it was not because of racism but because of Labor Party policies. [More…]
The Government’s view on matters pertaining to South Africa, its racism and its extension of that repugnant philosophy implemented through the Bantustans is something that I would not think, despite the reading of those remarks, I would be prepared to change an attitude on. [More…]
But I make the point now that we on this side of the House are greatly concerned that for narrow political purposes a Minister is prepared to make comments that promote racism in this country. [More…]
I agree with you that there is an inference in this advertisement that I condone racism, neo-fascism and anti-Zionism and I note your assurance that most members of the Victorian Jewish community would wish to disassociate themselves from such an inference. [More…]
These include international obligations against discrimination and racism. [More…]
In the second case the Land Fund Commission sought a legal opinion on the matter of racism in Queensland. [More…]
It sought to have the legislation against racism which we introduced in 1975 adopted if the case was appropriate. [More…]
So I have tolerated racism. [More…]
You and I share this persecution of racism. [More…]
He expressed concern about racism and yet he erected fiscal barriers to ensure that the Land Fund Commission would not be able to protect the rights of Aboriginals in Queensland against the incursion of the racist policies of that State Government. [More…]
I have done it in great detail, not only in statements since I have been Minister for Foreign Affairs, but also in publications produced during 1 975 on behalf of the then Opposition indicating that the form of so-called ‘even-handedness’ pursued by the honourable gentleman’s Government, which led, ‘for example, to abstaining on questions such as deeming Zionism to be a form of racism, was an even-handedness that we rejected and still do. [More…]
But, in the mere fact that he has proposed an amendment to the Act, he also admits that differences do exist in the administration of Aboriginal communities and that of other communities and that it is the right of Aboriginals to maintain those differences so that they have some protection against intrusions, the incursions and the irresponsibilities and, indeed, the racism, suppression and discrimination of which he complains in his speech on the ‘winds of change’. [More…]
I believe that this element of racism which exists within Australian society can be aligned with class which remains one of the fundamental characteristics of Australian society and has been far too little emphasised in the national Parliament. [More…]

We affirm the importance of truthful presentation of facts in order to ensure that the public are fully informed of the dangers presented by racism and racial prejudice. [More…]
In accordance with established principles of international law and, in particular, the provisions of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, we affirm that everyone is, at all times and in all places, entitled to be protected in the enjoyment of the right to be free of racism and racial prejudice.

We note that racism and racial prejudice, wherever they occur, are significant factors contributing to tension between nations and thus inhibit peaceful progress and development. [More…]
We believe that the goal of the eradication of racism stands as a critical priority for governments of the Commonwealth, committed as they are to the promotion of the ideals of peaceful and happy lives for their people. [More…]
