00:00It affects people at every step of the employment journey, from migrants whose qualifications
00:08don't get recognised, which is an issue of systemic racism, to being forced to sit English
00:13proficiency tests despite having studied English all their lives, to changing your name to
00:17make it more English sounding so that you're more likely to get a job interview, to not
00:21being culturally safe in the workplace, to not progressing to positions of leadership.
00:26All of those are the impacts of systemic racism and they affect workplaces all across
00:32Australia.
00:33I think we need to create a culture where people are safe to raise issues.
00:39I mean, for example, generally the highest area of complaints under the Race Discrimination
00:45Act of the Australian Human Rights Commission is in employment.
00:47Yet that would just be a fraction, a small fraction of what actually occurs out in the
00:53world.
00:54That's because most people don't speak up.
00:56But the other thing is, if you don't change the system or the institution, that interpersonal
01:01racism you just described, whether it's covert or overt, continues to happen.
01:06If everyone in leadership looks like you, then you might feel that their environment allows
01:12you to use racial slurs or covert racism.
01:16So you actually need to change the system and institution to stop giving licence to that
01:21covert racism.
01:26We're not certain there.
01:27I think we don't want to do that.
01:28We do not have a connection with this.
01:28We have the connections that we are in the UK.
01:29We do not have an entirely to form that of justice.
01:31We have the connections that we have in the UK.
01:32We are the connections that we're in the UK.
01:33So the internet allows you to use to define what we have in the UK.
