Employees at the Ibis Styles Alice Springs Oasis Hotel have been instructed by directing staff to segregate aboriginal people into inferior rooms while charging the same as other guests.
Six rooms of unclean and unfit conditions were set aside for guests from ‘the communities’, a local expression describing the indigenous people from Alice Springs.
A staff member at the hotel said the segregation was ‘pretty standard’ after employees received an email in June with instructions to racially profile the guests.
