Witness Whiteness - Changes to the Racial Discrimination Act in Australia

Australia is full of discussion in the media about the decision of the Attorney General to make sweeping changes to the racial discrimination act. Such a shameful proposition to have such a high profile person in our government saying that Australians have a right to be bigoted. There is so much to say about this but again I am shamed as a white person. I gave a talk about my project a while ago and a young man asked a question at the end. It was, "how do you be a good white person?" I didn't have an answer.
My exhibition opens next week and I look forward to feedback from both black and white Australians on the work.
