Friday, 23 November 1979
Senator MISSEN (Victoria)
- I want very briefly to put a question to the AttorneyGeneral (Senator Durack). At the end of his second reading speech, the Attorney said that, save for one or two amendments, the Commissioner for Community Relations would continue to operate and his powers would not be affected. The Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs, Mr MacKellar, has been reported by the ethnic Press in a weekly selection produced by that Department dated 30 November 1979. An interview he had with // Globois reported as follows:
When asked about the imminent disappearance of the office of the Commissioner for Community Relations, the Minister replied: 'The Federal Government has decided to create a Commission for Human Rights, and one of the Commissioners of this body will be responsible for watching out for racial discrimination. The present office for Community Relations will therefore be superfluous'.
I ask the Attorney which is right- what he assured us at the end of his second reading speech, or what the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs now says?
