A study conducted by Monash University has found that discrimination against Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people has risen dramatically.
The study, conducted on behalf of ‘Inclusive Australia’, found the percentage of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people who reported experiencing at least one form of major discrimination increased from 29% in 2019 to almost 50% in 2020.
Board member of Inclusive Australia, Yorta Yorta man Ian Hamm believes that strong political and social leadership is needed to reverse this trend.
