Stereotyping Speech by Muanza G. T
Good afternoon,
I would first like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land that we meet at, the Yarrgera people.
A few weeks ago we heard on live television Sonia Kruger give her point of view regarding Muslim immigration.

Australian Muslim are frequently one of the minority groups to be discriminated against. However, this is not a new phenomenon. Negative stereotyping and ill treatment of Muslims has been in Australia for a while. From as early as 1912 Muslims were seen as the “other” and a cause for concern and a threat to Australia’s cultural and societal
