Submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security’s Inquiry into extremist movements and radicalism in Australia

This submission is directed to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security’s Inquiry into Extremist Movements and Radicalism in Australia. It addresses the rising threat of far-right extremism, particularly the spread of racist ideologies that undermine social cohesion and multiculturalism. The submission highlights the impact of these ideologies on young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds and advocates for stronger policies, legal responses, and public debates to combat the influence of extremist movements. It also calls for a national approach to address hate crimes and promote social inclusion, ensuring Australia remains a safe and cohesive society.
