Corona Racism – Why we’re seeing increased race based Coronavirus attacks

There have been 270 reports of these horrific attacks so far. We speak to Rosa Do - a Vietnamese Australian who was the 19-year-old victim of a racial attack that went viral and Race Commissioner Chin Tan (from the Australian Human Rights Commission).

Today's news headlines:

  • COVIDsafe App is live
  • Some states are rolling back restrictions
  • Victorian Truck Driver Charged
  • Harry & Meghan plan tell all book
  • PM’s Ratings approval highest in almost a decade

On today's Briefing we ask: Why are these race based Coronavirus attacks happening? What’s being done about it? What should you do about it if you witness one of these attacks? And what it’s like to be the victim of one of these attacks? How prevalent was racism against Asian Australians before Coronavirus?
