Racists are minority, they exist everywhere: Australian Minister Julian Hill
Australian Assistant Minister Julian Hill addressed concerns regarding anti-immigration protests in Australia that targeted Indian nationals. He emphasized that such sentiments represent a small minority and reaffirmed Australia's commitment to being a safe, multicultural democracy for international students and professionals.
Why it matters
The statement serves as a diplomatic effort to maintain strong educational and economic ties between Australia and India amidst rising social tensions regarding migration.
There is a small percentage of racists in every part of the world and they are scared of people who are different, says Australia’s Assistant Minister for International Education, Citizenship, Customs and Multicultural Affairs Julian Hill. He was referring to the anti-immigration protests that took place in Australia, which singled out Indians.
The Minister was here the other day to take part in an MoU signing ceremony between Andhra Pradesh and Australia in the fields of clean energy, advanced manufacturing, inclusive education, student mental health and skill development.
