Racism in the media is a major problem world-wide. Every time some major figure, or some high profile columnist, makes a statement about how there are too many immigrants, that Aboriginals receive too much welfare, or that ethnic gangs are a problem, ethnic community councils report an upsurge in violent attacks directed at minorities. The racist riot at Cronulla was whipped up by newspaper columnists and shock jocks. Andrew Bolt is a prime example of this type of columnist. The Bolt Report is filmed on Sundays at Channel 10 in South Yarra. Given the difficulties of finding out exactly when the judgement in the court case will be delivered, we have decided to call a rally outside the studio. Please bring placards etc. List of speakers to be announced and there will be an open mike.
Como Centre, 620 Chapel St, South Yarra.
