The race discrimination commissioner of Australia has expressed concern about the growing threat of white supremacy in the country, after a neo-Nazi rally was held in a small town in New South Wales. The rally, which saw about 50 individuals dressed in black and carrying a banner with the words "white man fight back," took place in front of a war memorial in Corowa on Saturday.
The event caused shock and condemnation from both local and national leaders, regardless of their political affiliations. However, for Giridharan Sivaraman, the rise of the far-right was not unexpected. In a statement released today, he stated that this is a direct result of society's failure to acknowledge and confront the deep-rooted racism that exists in our communities.
Sivaraman emphasized that the presence of white supremacy poses a serious threat and called for a national strategy to address it. He believes that the only way to combat these dangerous ideologies is through a united effort to dismantle the foundations of racism in Australia.
The race discrimination commissioner also stressed the importance of taking action against racism in all its forms, as it is the key to achieving true equality and respect for all individuals, regardless of their race, culture, or religion. He expressed hope that one day, through anti-racism measures, Australia will become a place where everyone can coexist without fear of discrimination or violence.
In November, the Australian Human Rights Commission will urge the federal government to take the lead in implementing a National Anti-Racism Framework to combat racism. Meanwhile, NSW Premier Chris Minns has condemned the neo-Nazi rally, stating that they are not welcome in the state and that any attempts to spread hate will be met with full force from the police.
As of now, no arrests have been made, and the police are still investigating the incident. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers. This event serves as a reminder that such behavior will not be tolerated in the state of NSW. Let us all work together to create a society where diversity is celebrated, and racism has no place.
