Caste discrimination exists in Australia; visit https://www.ambedkarmission.net/ncccd/ for more about this - including an extensive and groundbreaking report co-authored by BODHI Australia vice president Dr Ajay Niranjane. Australia’s National Anti-Racism Framework (NARF) calls upon ‘The Australian Government [to] investigate options for legal protections against caste discrimination, including potential reform of existing legislation.’ Colin comments: In my lifetime Australia has moved from one of expanding opportunities for poor whites - something the largely working class white invaders successfully organised and agitated for, somewhat free of British class oppression, to one of increasing hierarchy, consider, for example, Christian Porter's privilege (Porter was a formed senior politician). Of course, Indigenous Australians were largely excluded from these opportunities .. but my own family greatly benefited. I believe that people who care about justice and a "fair go" need to also be alert to caste discrimination .. a concept that is not widely understood in Australia, outside expatriate South Asians - especially those on the "lower caste" side of the spectrum.
