emerged during the period of post-war (Jonason, 2015). According to the legal status of
Australia, the indigenous people of the country belong to the recognition of British Common
law. During the year 2011, the Government of Australia made a commitment to developing
and implementing some strategies for antiracism. The strategies of antiracism include some
