Anti-discrimination Legislation
"While acknowledging the progress made in tackling discrimination over the last 20 years or more, we recognise that much discrimination still occurs, direct and indirect, intended and unintended. Discrimination causes real suffering to many individuals and, weakens the cohesiveness of our society, increases social exclusion and denies society the talents of individuals who are discriminated against.
We believe that a commitment to diversity and equal opportunities is successful to a modern, pluralistic and civilised society, and that there is an urgent need to address the continuing discrimination that many citizens experience."
