SOCIAL JUSTICE & HUMAN RIGHTS: MICHAEL ECKFORD aka ANDERSON

Prior to European invasion Australia was a multicultural society, not unlike Europe and Asia, with over 500 nations, speaking 300 core languages and diverse cultural beliefs united by the Lore of the Dreaming.

Cultural diversity can become one of our Nation’s greatest assets. Australia can grow into a nation with a social justice program that respects cultural differences and human rights and social equity for ALL Australian’s.

As a Senator I will improve anti-discrimination laws by introducing a private members bill to eradicate and prosecute racial discrimination and religious intolerance as well as amending racial vilification laws to do with racial incitement by the media.

Although we have made great advancements in Australia to create social equity this still predominantly excludes Aboriginal people. I will push the government for culturally appropriate economic development for Aboriginal people whilst recognising that it is a fundamental right of Aboriginal People’s to control their intellectual and cultural property according to their laws and to control any earnings derived from it.
