I move:

That this House:

(1) acknowledges the 40th anniversary of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 which was passed in implementation of our international obligations under the International Convention for the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination; and

(2) recognises the:

(a) important role the Act plays in Australia’s Human Rights Framework;

(b) importance of Section 18C of the Act in protecting Australians from racist hate speech; and

(c) important role the Human Rights Commission plays in administering the Act.
