First Nations Consultations For the Australian Human Rights Commission Robust mechanisms must be established to monitor, evaluate, and enforce anti-racism policies across all sectors. This includes creating independent review bodies with the authority to investigate and address instances of racism. There have also been calls for greater ambition in some of the Closing the Gap commitments, particularly those related to justice. Some of the related National Agreement targets on incarceration rates need to be more ambitious if racism in the criminal justice system is to be addressed. The Framework also needs to be supported by an auditing process to ensure effectiveness and accountability at both the local, state and national levels. In the development of the outcome measures related to the Framework, there needs to be transparency around the processes used in the development of the measures and reporting procedures along with opportunities for community feedback and advice. This will build community trust and confidence in the process as well as the implementation of the Framework. An Anti-Racism Framework: Voices of First Nations Peoples Page 50
