Joe Biden’s cabinet is the most diverse ever. Which prompts the question: why aren’t our cabinets more diverse and multicultural in Australia? My column for @smh and @theage today https://t.co/X7qlhl2Aee

Our president @jasonyatsenli on @RadioNational discussing the challenges Chinese Australians are facing. He said the rising anti-CCP rhetoric, narrative that COVID-19 is a China virus & the underlying racism in Australia are creating a perfect storm.

People don't need to know the law before they report racist incidents. That's the job of the NSW Anti-Discrimination and they will be able to help refer you to the appropriate organisation, says Elizabeth Wing from @ad_nsw
