Hindu Council reacts to AHRC complaint from Islamic group as 'trial by media'

A racial discrimination complaint by the Alliance Against Islamophobia (AAI) and the Periyar Ambedkar Thoughts Circle of Australia (PATCA) has been accepted by the Australian Human Rights Commission. It names NSW Multicultural Minister Stephen Kamper and Multicultural NSW, and questions the Hindu Council of Australia’s role in the government’s Faith Affairs Council. The HCA says the complaint’s acceptance does not imply wrongdoing and maintains it respects all communities and faiths.
