Are we headed for a 'racial hierarchy'?

The latest Census revealed we’re more culturally diverse as a nation than ever before. So, we’re asking the question: ‘should the next census include more questions about ethnicity?'

We dive into the pros and cons, which are more complicated than you might think. Historian Dr Amrita Malhi, fellow at the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at ANU; and Mohammed Al-Khafaji, CEO of the Federation of Ethnic Communities' Councils of Australia join us to hash it out.

Last month the federal government announced it will begin collecting more specific ethnicity data in the next Census. Is it the right move? Or could it lead to tension if we create what's been dubbed a ‘racial hierarchy’.

Today's Headlines:

- PM in closed door talks with Pacific leaders
- Civil case brought against George Pell
- Qantas scraps vaccine mandate on international flights
- Fukushima: Landmark damages payout
- QLD clinches Origin
