Young people are experiencing racism more with over 25 per cent of recorded racist incidents affecting under 19-year-olds, that's a 10 per cent increase since last year.

That’s according to the latest Call it Out Report from the Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research in partnership with the National Justice Project.

The institute says racism can have an immediate and lifelong impact, shaping children’s sense of belonging and self-worth.

Other stories in this week’s episode include.

  • The Federal Government passes Anti-hate speech and gun law reforms; Independent Senator Lida Thorpe breaks down their implications.
  • The New South Wales Aboriginal Legal Service explains what Sydney’s protest restrictions will mean for Invasion Day rallies.
  • Chair of the Northern Land Council Matthew Ryan calls for the NT Government to reconsider its choice for the territory's new administrator after 'appalling' and 'racist' social media posts came to light.

This week’s episode is hosted by Harrison Pedersen.
