There is far more that can easily be done to combat racism in Auatralia.
From Facebook to X it must be possible to locate and take action against the haters.

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.
Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.
