An advocacy organisation called, Democracy in Colour, are door knocking in the Victorian seat of Frankston to inform voters about federal politicians use of racialized crime panic smokescreen.
The advocacy group is led by racial and ethnic minorities who have been victims of politicians’ racial fear mongering in local media and parliament.
One group member’s stern message to politicians is “if you use our communities as scapegoats, if you weaponise our differences, there will be consequences at the ballot box.’
