Malcolm Turnbull MP Federal Member for Wentworth, Minister for Communications has this to say about racism in Australia:- The report today of young men boarding a school bus in my electorate and then abusing the young Jewish students with frightening, threatening, violent and anti semitic language will strike a chill into the heart of every parent, indeed every Australian. Racism has no place in Australia. We must have zero tolerance for racism, zero tolerance for racist abuse. And directing that kind of language at children is especially appalling. The police and the courts will deal with the offenders in this case, but all of us should pause and reflect on our obligation, whatever our calling, to be always vigilant in opposing racism and racist language. We all have a vital vested interest in a harmonious multicultural nation where we respect our fellow citizens in their diversity. For unless we respect others, how can we expect respect in return?
