Australia is a migrant nation, but one-in-10 citizens are "racial supremacists" despite racism generally waning, says a 10-year study.
Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick, has released the Commission’s new research report, Encourage. Support. Act!: Bystander approaches to sexual harassment in the workplace, which examines the role bystanders can play in preventing and reducing the incidence of sexual harassment. “This paper, written by Paula McDonald from QUT and Michael Flood from the University of Wollongong, is a comprehensive examination of the way bystander intervention can be applied to addressing sexual harassment in workplaces, drawn from the role it is playing in other areas such as whistle blowing, racial harassment, workplace bullying and anti-violence,” said Commissioner Broderick. Sexual harassment is unwanted or unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that a reasonable person anticipates could make the targeted person feel offended, humiliated or intimidated. It is a form of sex discrimination and usually a manifestation of gender-based violence. See full Press Release.
