Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi says not enough is being done to combat racism in Australia, amid her concerns that “March for Australia” protests were pushing some Australians to the far-right.
Faruqi outlined the concerns during a Senate Estimates hearing that examined the federal government’s National Anti-Racism Framework that contains 63 recommendations for “eliminating racism.”
