The Greens stand against the March Australia anti-immigration rally taking place in Hobart today.
Racism and extremism must be called out. The rise of racist attacks, and anti-immigrant rallies such as this, have no place in our society.
This will be a hard day for multicultural people in this state. The Greens stand with them.
Everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome in our community, no matter where they come from or what they look like. No one should be denied the opportunity to thrive.
We welcome migrants and refugees, as a part of what makes this place so great. Immigrants only create a richer culture and community in Lutruwita / Tasmania. Diversity should be celebrated.
The government must lead the way in tackling racism and supporting multicultural Tasmanians. We need an anti-racism strategy in this state, and more investment in prevention and education.
We recognise the great work that organisations like the Multicultural Council of Tasmania and the Migrant Resource Centre are already doing to combat racism in our community.
The Tasmanian Greens will continue to stand in solidarity with the multicultural communities who call Lutruwita / Tasmania home.
