Where do we stop this discrimination business?’ A discussion of the Senate Parliamentary debate on the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, 2
Focussing upon the function of complaint investigation and conciliation, the paper reviews the provisions and operation of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975. Between 31 October 1975 and 10 December 1981 a total of 5,383 complaints were received by the Commissioner for Community Relations, with Aboriginals markedly over‐represented among the complainants. For reasons associated with a complaint‐based procedure, the number of complaints received cannot be treated as a true indication of the extent of racial discrimination. Despite shortcomings of the Act, some of which stein from amendments to the Bill in 1975, it does provide a check upon the actions of major ‘gatekeepers’ and a viable source of redress for discrimination in certain spheres of life. It is noted that effective implementation of the Act has been hampered by various obstacles, in particular by a shortage of staff and financial resources.
