Move to bring Racial Discrimination Act back later this year: Macklin

editor

Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin says the Government will introduce legislation to reinstate the Racial Discrimination Act into Parliament later this year.

The Act was suspended in 2007 to clear the way for it to quarantine welfare payments as part of the Northern Territory indigenous intervention.

Yesterday the Government said it would keep quarantining welfare as part of its attempt to improve Indigenous living conditions.
