racism - senate - 1970

Contexts in which the word racism was used in the Senate during the 1970s

As the General Assembly of the United Nations has designated 1971 as the International Year for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination will the Government make an early statement on whether it will actively support this decision, which would be in line with Australia’s subscription to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? [More…]

I ask the question in view of the remarks made at today’s luncheon and also in view of the recent statement made by the Prime Minister that he and his Government abhor racism and that the Government is giving $12,000 to a national committee being established to combat racism and racial discrimination. [More…]
As much as I disagree, with those laws-and I take every opportunity to express my personal antipathy towards racism in any shape or form- I say that any man who will run in front of a young girl who is unprotected in a- strange country which she is visiting for the purpose of playing in a competitive sport, and any man who would adopt a threatening attitude to such a girl and say to her that she was not to play because her government has a policy with which he disagrees, is not a man; he is a mongrel. [More…]
That girl may be as conscientiously opposed as I am to racism in all its shapes and forms. [More…]
What I have just described is what happens when such people seek to interfere in a tennis match because some young ladies playing in the tournament represent a country that has a policy of racism. [More…]

Ill will attaches to Australia throughout Asia because we are branded as a bastion of racism for allowing the Springboks into Australia. [More…]
Senator Gair who takes issue with me on this question of racism interjects. [More…]
Has Mr Ian Spalding prepared for the Federal Government a report on instances of racism in textbacks dealing with Aboriginal Affairs; if so, it is intendedthat the report shall (a) remain a secret document, (b) be available on request, or (c)be presented to the Parliament. [More…]
The report does not deal with ‘instances of racism in text books’. [More…]

- There is more racism in some of those countries than there is in Australia and similar countries. [More…]
Whichever way we look at this, it is racism and it is discrimination because of colour. [More…]
It is the racism for which we condemn the present Government. [More…]
But the moment we try to amend something, to take the racism out of our policy or to make any suggestion that this great white god of immigration can be touched, it is claimed that we will let down the floodgates, or that we will let all sorts of people enter Australia. [More…]
I do not believe that there ever was this racism in the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
It appears that it is part of Labor’s policy to sponsor racism in reverse in Queensland and other States. [More…]
That the state of Aboriginal rights, health, infant mortality, life expectancy, education, training, employment, ownership, movement and democratic political advancement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Peoples everywhere in Australia is unequal compared with people of European origin, whether migrating to or bom in Australia; and this constitutes a challenge to the Australian people on grounds of racial discrimination, racism and even forms of genocide; [More…]
Having regard to recent events one could say that many crimes are being committed in the name of racism. [More…]
Does not the Minister consider that this is racism of the worst order? [More…]
Can he tell me what has happened to the great body of knockers of Australia who are always accusing Australia of racism, when this terrible display of racism is being demonstrated in Uganda? [More…]
I regard Senator Wood’s question as a very thoughtful one which throws into relief the difference between political ideologies for party political purposes and genuine beliefs for the purpose of opposing racism. [More…]
Is this present Government genuinely opposed to all forms of racism? [More…]
So far as the first portion of the honourable senator’s question is concerned, namely whether this Government is genuinely opposed to all forms of racism, I give a very strong affirmative answer. [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 ‘hot only in the Asian and Pacific region but in the world at large. [More…]
I do not agree that the original ordinance was introduced in a spirit of opposition to the Aborigines, of racism, or whatever other fancy terms are used. [More…]

Senator Murphy had a lot to say about racism, the treatment of the black people in Rhodesia and other matters. [More…]
It is strange and indicates a strange mentality that when racism is mentioned by some people, white people always have to be involved in it. [More…]
If they are involved at all it is a clear demonstration of racism. [More…]
There is not a word about the fact that racism has been practised by most African states. [More…]
This same racism has been practised in these African states almost to the extent of genocide. [More…]
But it is the peculiar attitude of mind of some people- I think that Sir Robert Menzies referred to this-that in some way white people must be involved before racism can be described as such. [More…]
Subsequently, the General Assembly of the United Nations approved a program for the observance of 1 97 1 as the International Year for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination. [More…]
The vigorous action initiated by the United Nations in 1971 was followed up in November 1972 by a resolution of the General Assembly in which it was decided to launch a Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination and to inaugurate these activities on 10 December 1973. [More…]
Initiative was taken in 1971 by the United Nations Association of Australia which set up a Committee to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination. [More…]
This Committee and its constituent member organisations conducted an extensive program, including the holding of seminars, the issue of pamphlets and other publications and the sponsorship with the United Nations Association of a 3 volume collection of studies, under the editorship of Mr F. S. Stevens entitled Racism- The Australian Experience’. [More…]
The volumes on Australian racism disclose various aspects of discrimination in Australia. [More…]
Can the Minister explain the different attitudes of this Government to racism in Russia and racism in South Africa? [More…]
As for this Government’s attitudes on racism in South Africa, they are well known and in accordance with the strong statements which have been made repeatedly in the United Nations. [More…]
He talks about racism and all the rest of it. [More…]
Before the last election honourable senators opposite- not all of them- were going to make a great deal about racism. [More…]

It is about time that we in this Parliament stopped having racism in this country and stopped giving preference to a certain section of the community over the other Australian people. [More…]
It is about time that we stopped this racism and stopped giving preference to one section of the community. [More…]
On the subject of discrimination in Queensland, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and another senator in this chamber have said that Queensland provides an outstanding example of racism. [More…]
Subsequently, the United Nations designated 1971 as the International Year for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination, and vigorous programs for the year were conducted throughout the world, including Australia. [More…]
On 10 December 1973, the Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination was inaugurated by the United Nations. [More…]
Racism is an unmitigated evil . [More…]
I am prepared to say and mean that we will abolish racism within Australia. [More…]
In 1971 the United Nations Association of Australia set up an Australian Committee to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination, as part ofthe United Nations program for the year that I have mentioned. [More…]
Specifically the Australian Government’s policies on a number of issues such as colonialism, racism, development questions and peace zone proposals are in essential agreement with those adopted by the countries of the Third World. [More…]
I think it is only in recent times that we have had instances in which racial disharmony and racism have been highlighted. [More…]
I think the instances have been created by persons who claim there is a racism which I believe does not exist. [More…]
When they were in Opposition I can recall how they constantly, in this chamber and outside it- certainly, from my recollection, in this chamber- accused the Government of being racist because of conduct in which it was alleged to have engaged when those of us in government who were responsible for the decisions which were being taken knew that there was not a spark of racism or race relations in that conduct. [More…]
I was interested in Senator Greenwood’s comments one of which was that there is no racism in Australia. [More…]
There have been cases of racism, despite what Senator Greenwood said earlier about there being no racism in Australia. [More…]
We had a bit more publicity in the ‘Canberra Times’ of 27 November last for Australia and Australians whom Senator Greenwood says show no racism. [More…]
I find racism the most objectionable and most obnoxious form of discrimination. [More…]
I think it is significant that the perverse character who refused leave to Senator Coleman to table documents on racism comes from the State that carried out a policy of genocide of its Aborigines. [More…]
Who thinks that words are stronger than deeds- those who deny the existence of racism, those who talk about prejudice as if it does not exist, those who say this legislation ought not to be carried and those who are concerned to protect the guilty rather than the innocent victims of racial discrimination? [More…]
Senator Greenwood has the temerity to suggest that this can be put in the same category as those philosophical propositions of communism and facism, that the question of racism is part of a similar pattern and that it is in fact a philosophical position. [More…]
Do honourable senators opposite say that they believe therefore that racism did not have its origins in the superior race theories of Adolf Hitler and in some of those racist groups that operate within the United States which clearly are gaining in influence within our own country. [More…]
One has only to look at the propaganda from the Rights Committee that operates in the far north coast area of New South Wales and in Queensland to see that that organisation makes racism and discrimination a cornerstone of its policies. [More…]
This material incites and fosters racism. [More…]
If the problems are to be overcome by research and education programs such biased, emotive racially discriminatory material ought not to be tolerated if its effects are to foster racism. [More…]
I submit that this material does foster racism. [More…]
I have no doubt that the word ‘race’, with all its added emotional connotations, has helped to create the racist myth which has in turn inspired the bizarre form of political racism which the world has seen during this century. [More…]
I am very much aware of the very clear passages in the New Testament in which so-called racism has no place. [More…]
Words like ‘racism reigns supreme in this country’ and ‘it is the major evil of the century’ and, as we heard tonight from Senator Gietzelt, ‘racism abounds in this country’, are highly emotive words which I feel must be challenged. [More…]
Last but not least, I should like to draw attention to the far more dangerous form of racism which is promoted today in the name of scientific progress. [More…]
So-called ‘scientific racism’ is founded upon and finds its justification in evolution and polygenesis. [More…]
This form of racism, which is progagated in a variety of journals under different names, should be detected and effectively eliminated, in spite of the fact that it appears under the cloak of scientific respectability. [More…]
Finally I want to say that racism is an expression of a particular philosophy of life by which the superiority of one human being over another is believed to be a legitimate form for a social order. [More…]
I believe most firmly that it is not the ordinary man in the street, whatever prejudices he may foster, who is guilty of this kind of racism. [More…]
Therefore in my opinion any racial discrimination Bill should include a reference to the immoral ideologies by which racism is promoted at the expense of the dignity of humanity and all its individual members. [More…]
In 1971 the Australian United Nations Association set up in Australia a committee to combat racism and racial discrimination. [More…]
We run into hysterics when dealing with some of these aspects, particularly in relation to racism. [More…]
I almost wept when I heard Senator Gietzelt talking about the great difficulty that some people have as a result of racism and so on. [More…]
We have been speaking of discrimination and racism but let us consider where this exists. [More…]
To hear Senator Gietzelt and other honourable senators talk one would think that Australians were the worst in the world in relation to racism. [More…]
Where do we have a deep division over racism? [More…]
In fact, as somebody who has travelled the world and who has studied recent history, I expect somebody to say that Australia is the weakest nation on earth because its inhabitants have very little racism in them. [More…]
The pure blooded Aborigines practise racism against fellows like Perkins and others. [More…]
The are practising a form of racism against those people. [More…]
Is that not racism? [More…]
Of course it is racism. [More…]
Was that not racism? [More…]
Of course it was racism. [More…]
Was that not racism? [More…]
If the Government is able to fix racism in all these countries, it is a wonderful government. [More…]
Yes, because I am talking about all the racism in the non-white countries. [More…]
Is that not racism? [More…]
People like that make us look like fools when it comes to racism. [More…]
Would I be accused of racism because I rang the police? [More…]
Would the police be accused of racism if they had caught the men? [More…]
If the coloured person does not get to buy the house, he accuses the seller of displaying racism. [More…]
Because the seller is accused of racism I understand the coloured man has to get the home. [More…]
Apart from racism, I refer to people who have been born in poor circumstances. [More…]
I have never seen strong racism against migrants. [More…]
Do not let us get carried away with this racism business to the extent that we think it is so deep that this country is divided. [More…]
It is abhorrent to me to suggest that racism is of great consequence in this country. [More…]
As I said before, the people of some countries in Africa and elsewhere who are so loud in their cries of racism demonstrate to us that we are just infants and amateurs in racism. [More…]
When he was speaking I interjected that I was involved in antiracism long before he embraced it. [More…]
1 think I owe a duty to myself, if not to my Senate colleagues, to illustrate in simple language, by 3 stories, the attitudes which I have taken, as a person, in the context of racism. [More…]
This Bill will polarise racism in Australia. [More…]
If honourable senators do not believe that assertion it would be a good idea for them to obtain a copy of the report of a select committee of the House of Commons in Great Britain which has been looking at the problem of racism in England. [More…]
The main thrust of the report of that select committee is that the basic problem with regard to racism is in the area of housing. [More…]
No one has ever discussed the racism that was involved in the election for the seat of Riverina when Mr Grassby won. [More…]
He treated us to a delightful or entertaining homily on racism last Thursday evening and he repeated most of it again tonight. [More…]
We must recognise the problems of the small 1’ Liberals who take a tolerant and progressive view on the question of racism and other social matters. [More…]
The debate has ranged over many questions and there has been disputation about whether there is or is not racism in Australia. [More…]
We have supported this Bill because the questions that arise continually are: Is there racism in Australia? [More…]
I deny that Australia is a racist country or that there is any widespread racism in Australia. [More…]
But it is a fact that there are pockets of racism in Australia, not that legislation will cure it. [More…]
Legislation will not cure racism but at least it will give the opportunity for some attempt to be made to police it and to make it a breach when there is information that an action was taken which was detrimental to an individual only on the score of his race. [More…]
Later there were claims to justify racism on the ground that certain people were a deviation from what was then called the white norm of the human race. [More…]
But I leave all that on one side, save to add that racism became embedded in people’s cultural experience although the reasons which existed for racism had long been abolished and, in some cases, forgotten. [More…]
Examples of racism which continue have been due largely to individual factors. [More…]
I have seen assimilation described as a subtle form of institutional racism. [More…]
By its policy of seeking deliberately through immigration to undermine the national character, the Government has succeeded in causing an understandable disquiet and what it calls ‘racism’- but what is merely legitimate criticism. [More…]
Senator Laucke drew attention in his speech- it is recorded at page 1537 of Hansardto the dangers of scientific racism. [More…]
I should like to draw attention to the far more dangerous form of racism which is prompted today in the name of scientific progress. [More…]
So-called ‘scientific racism’ is founded upon and finds its justification in evolution and polygenesis. [More…]
If there is racism in Queensland, it is probably normal. [More…]
As a matter of fact, I think that racism is normal, it is as it should be. [More…]
We do not have racism on the communities in Queensland. [More…]
-The Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly on 17 October adopted by a vote of 70 for, 29 against and 27 abstentions the draft resolution to have the General Assembly determine that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination. [More…]
The Committee had earlier adopted 2 draft resolutions on the Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination by votes of 126 for, 1 against and 2 abstentions, and 126 for, 1 against and 1 abstention. [More…]
The Australian representative on the Third Committee was instructed to oppose the draft resolution on Zionism, to make it clear in his explanation of vote that the Australian Government could not accept in any sense the determination contained in the draft resolution that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination. [More…]
The representative said that the Australian Government believed that the attempt by the co-sponsors of the draft resolution to equate Zionism with racial discrimination was a distortion of fact, was unhelpful in the context of the search for a settlement in the Middle East and weakened the essential purposes of the 2 resolutions on the Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination. [More…]
This is a further example of the racism that has characterised events in Indonesia since the coup of 1965. [More…]
Can the Minister give any reason for such an arbitrary ruling which, on the evidence available, seems to indicate blatant racism? [More…]
Some of the statements that have been made are very serious indeed, particularly those that related to racism and discrimination in our immigration policy. [More…]
We had a number of adventures ranging from the stark racism that we saw in a place called Oodnadatta to the ceremonial lunch on Badu Island with music, singing and what have you. [More…]
I am strongly opposed to racism. [More…]
There are many dreadful effects of the racism that has been practised in the country ever since Europeans settled here, but perhaps among the worst were the injustices suffered by the Aboriginal community under our law. [More…]
He wanted to accuse us of racism if we did not give him all the money he wanted all the time. [More…]
For decades, the Aboriginal people have been kept in a position of inferiority, a depressed social and economic condition and the butt of Australia’s racism. [More…]
Several of us spoke in the second reading debate about the needs of people living in fringe areas of Alice Springs and I do not think there is any need to repeat them, but if Government supporters who spoke at such length about their concern to rectify the wrongs done to Aboriginal people and to make up to the Aboriginal people for the destruction of their culture and their traditional way of life meant what they said for one minute then I fail to see how they can refuse to support this amendment because it is those people, as Justice Woodward said, who have been moved away from their traditional land in camps around Alice Springs and similar places who are the worst victims of the racism of this country. [More…]
I say with all due respect and free from any racism that I think we can over-react to the recent war in Asia. [More…]
I think that the basic problem is racism. [More…]
Does not the Minister think that this extraordinary outburst of racism is deserving of censure by her Cabinet colleagues and by all Australian people? [More…]
We must fight racism wherever it appears, in Midlands, in Canberra or anywhere else. [More…]
They are themselves at loggerheads, but they play to the world gallery with their cries of racism and minority rule. [More…]
It has had to come up with some sort of theory to justify its doctrine of racism. [More…]
So I want to give the lie direct to the allegation that the Waterside Workers Federation has been guilty of any racism in relation to the background of people who join the Federation. [More…]
We can and we must succeed if we as Australians are to hold our heads high in national and international forums as being dedicated to the elimination of racism. [More…]
They were in broad terms the dedication of some to an end of racism in Australia and overseas and recognition of the dignity of fellow human beings. [More…]
What is happening in Queensland is a blight upon the 1967 referendum and contradicts Australia’s obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of Racism. [More…]
One of the more blatant examples of racism in this Act is the nonpayment of award wages on reserves. [More…]
There is no racism in any of them. [More…]
In what is termed the Deep North of Australia, we have colonialism personified by a government whose policies are outmoded, outdated, and reek of racism. [More…]
I had hoped that with the advent of the younger generation some of that racism would have died out. [More…]
They are a people with a different culture, but because of their friendliness and the way in which they operate, such an exchange may well be a way of starting to break down the racism in our society. [More…]
There has been a very strong element of racism throughout Australia. [More…]
We deplore racism. [More…]
Because of the intolerance, the prejudice, the bigotry and the racism involved in this, it is a general indictment of the whole of the society in which we live today that such a situaton could have arisen and could have been allowed to exist for up to five years. [More…]
This does not happen any more although there is still much to be done in the fight against racism. [More…]
Speaker after speaker mixed up the issues of slavery, colonialism and neo-colonialism, imperialism, hegemony, racism, discrimination and freedom, and heaped all these charges onto South Africa and Rhodesia. [More…]
One of its provisions is that States party to the Convention are required to report to the United Nations Committee on Racism. [More…]
I hope that the discussion on this motion tonight will convince people in the community that racism is not dead. [More…]
ls it not lack of imagination, lack of humanity, the prevalence of racism, the propensity of politicians to spend money where votes can be procured? [More…]
If the present stories of the pressures that will be brought to bear on 1.5 million ethnic Chinese are true they show a degree of racism and inhumanity of which we should take note. [More…]
By a corollary, if one wishes to oppose racism, colonialism, imperialism and all those other evils about which one hears so much apparently in the minds of some, one is obliged to declare oneself a supporter of the so-called Patriotic Front and the front line States and to condemn what has happened over recent months within Zimbabwe. [More…]
It is indeed true that racism is evil. [More…]
I would have hoped that what we were trying to do was to remove racism and to preserve and to expand democracy. [More…]
I think that it accentuates racism by giving support to those who believe that there can be no peaceful agreement and it damages democracy by saying, as Senator Evans has said: ‘What difference does it make if Zimbabwe is more democratic than Nigeria?’ [More…]
I ask whether it is a fact that the Lusaka declaration on racism and racial prejudice, which the Australian delegation helped to draft, contained these words: [More…]
Let us assume that that article states some outrageous propositions on racism, revolution by force or some other dreadful thing. [More…]
I draw the attention of the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs to an Age article of 5 September 1979 in which Professor Jerzy Zubrzycki, Chairman of the Australian Ethnic Affairs Council, alleges that Nazi-type racism is flourishing in Western Australia and that prejudice against non-European migrants is promoted there by a number of organisations. [More…]
I take it that Senator Evans, by inference, feels that there is some kind of racism in what they are doing. [More…]
The report contains a number of examples of how racism is finding its expression in contemporary Australia in 1979. [More…]
Is it a fact that the Lusaka declaration on racism and racial prejudice, which the Australian delegation helped to draft, contained these words: [More…]
He has written a number of books on the subject of racism and politics and the attitudes of blacks to whites and whites to blacks. [More…]
It does not exist, except where it is whispered in the xenophobia and the racism which is pandered to by this legislation. [More…]
The volumes, four of them now represent a mine of information about the nature, extent and character of racism within Australia and about the attitudes of Australian governments-federally, territorially and in the States in confronting it. [More…]
No one who has even read or even dipped into any of those reports of the Commission could fail to perceive them otherwise than as a searing indictment of the racism which still prevails in the Australian community, but, moreover, an indictment which is meticulously researched and documented. [More…]
They have made a very crucial contribution to our understanding and I hope to our appreciation of what is necessary to overcome Australian racism. [More…]
I ask honourable senators to compare that with the $lm which the Victorian Government, just one State, has indicated it is now prepared to make available for a promotional campaign to eradicate racism in that State and Victoria is perhaps the least racist State, if I might claim that, in the Commonwealth. [More…]
Last year the Australian Government submitted to the World Conference to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination a national report which stated that action taken in this country to combat racial discrimination had been based on five principles. [More…]
Despite their gross inaccuracies and blatant racism they do point up the continued deficiencies of the Commonwealth in Aborignal Affairs . [More…]
I reiterate that Australia and this Parliament cannot underestimate the danger of passing these amendments to one Act and thus introducing a new Act which has no teeth and which is merely a window dressing exercise which the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser), on his recovery from flu and pneumonia, will be able to take back to Lusaka and parade on the stages of the world, saying ‘There is no racism in my country’, while the people of this country, including those who are less than white, those who are part of the more ethnic minorities and those who are refugees in this country, will continue to suffer. [More…]
These creatures in the League of Rights who give out this garbage disseminating anti-semitism and racism always seem to invoke the name of Christianity somewhere along the line. [More…]
As nearly all speakers acknowledged during the second reading debate, the series of reports that has come from the Commissioner has represented a magnificent contribution, meticulously documented, to our understanding of the scope and dimensions of Australian racism. [More…]
We are, in fact, dealing with principles and fundamentals in respect to the racism that exists in our community. [More…]
We have to recognise that racism is the very base of the struggle for human rights. [More…]
He has created in the minds of those affected by racism that they have a friend, that there is an office and a person to whom they can turn. [More…]
We have to understand that when we talk about human rights and racism we are dealing with part of the Australian makeup. [More…]
One can read into that an expression of racism, that he regarded it as a somewhat degrading experience. [More…]
as the International Year for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination will the Government make an early statement on whether it will actively support this decision, which would be in line with Australia’s subscription to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1 said that I thought the question should properly be answered by the Minister for External Affairs, who has provided the following answer: [More…]
