Racial hatred and the Australian Human Rights Commission
section_content: If you witness or experience racial discrimination, harassment or hatred,
don’t put up with it; report it.
In Australia it is against the law to do something in public based on the
race, colour, national or ethnic origin of a person or group of people which
is likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate.
Examples of racial hatred may include:

racially offensive material on the internet, including eforums, blogs, social networking sites and video sharing sites
racially offensive comments or images in a newspaper, magazine or other publication such as a leaflet or flyer
racially offensive speeches at a public rally
racially abusive comments in a public place, such as a shop, workplace, park, on public transport or at school
racially abusive comments at sporting events by players, spectators, coaches or officials.

The law aims to strike a balance between the right to communicate freely
(‘freedom of speech’) and the right to live free from racial hatred. In some
circumstances actions may not be against the law if they are “done reasonably
and in good faith”.
If you experience racial hatred you can make a complaint to the Australian
Human Rights Commission. The complaint process is simple, free and flexible.
To lodge a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission, visit
www.humanrights.gov.au/complaints.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Gives no information to contact the police for assistance.
It gives great information about discrimination and gives a website to contact which is nice. However, would be better if it mentioned police assistance and gave a more immediate way to contact help.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Addresses the issue but no specifics for getting police support.
It directly answers the question and gives resources they can contact for help. It might be improved with a number for police assistance since they asked for police.

Police assistance
section_content: If you witness or experience racial discrimination, harassment or hatred,
don’t put up with it; report it.

If you are threatened with violence or violently attacked, contact the police.
Get to a safe location as soon as possible.
In an emergency or life threatening situation, call Triple Zero (000) and ask for police.
If you require police assistance, but there is no immediate danger, call the Police Assistance Line (131 444).


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Does not describe what is considered this offense.
It does address how to get police assistance, both emergency and non-emergency. It might be excellent if there was some specific information about discrimination. However, it's likely that these will be the numbers to call for police with regard to discrimination or non- discrimination.
