One, because of the heightened risk that is experienced by many people within that group.

So for us as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, because of colonisation and because of ongoing oppression, we are at heightened risk of experiencing a whole bunch of chronic diseases, a whole bunch of mental health concerns and others that may lead to

um a greater likelihood of unfortunately something happening so then you've got that so you might you might have then taken multiple times or multiple periods of work because you've had to attend to multiple forms of sorry business and then you might get questioned about that by your manager um so you might have a manager go you know how many aunties can you really have you've said you've been off for an auntie's funeral three times over in the last three months

I actually had this at a university that I was working at where I had someone in a senior position in that university questioning me about how many grandparents I had because I'd been off for multiple funerals in a short period of time for people that I recognised as grandparents to me, either through family or culturally.

And so that's a form of institutional discrimination.

Systemic discrimination then takes that even broader and it's the discrimination that exists within the systems.

that then our institutions exist in, that we as individuals then exist through as well.

So larger systems things could be things like the way that certain measures within child safety assessments are constructed in a way that inherently puts or classes Aboriginal children at higher risk than others for no other reason than they happen to be Aboriginal.

that then puts you at an immediate greater risk of removal than non-Indigenous people.

So that's a systemic racism.

I think young people are having to navigate

a more racially charged environment than potentially my generation had to.

I think we'd made real progress and all of a sudden we've come to things like the referendum and we seem to have stepped backwards as a nation, particularly in terms of what we're exposed to through media.

So while I don't actually believe that we have more people who are racist in Australia than we've ever had before, what I do feel we have is

more exposure to events of racism.

So be that through how it's cast in media or then how it may be how people are viewing that through social media platforms or being exposed to it through social media platforms.

And I think that social media space has led to a constant exposure.

So for a young person who may experience racism within school,

traditionally they could have tapped out from that when they came home and at least had a little bit of freedom from it spent time with their family slept overnight being able to go back to school even if it happened at school the next day they've still had a slight respite period

In many instances, that's not present now because social media is there 24-7.
