Community Engagement Report for developing a National Action Plan Against Racism The social and economic inequities ethnic Tangata Tiriti experience as victims of racism are prevalent and persistent. The Commission is currently conducting an inquiry into the Pacific Pay Gap, focusing on the persistent Pacific pay gap, racial discrimination, and lack of equal employment opportunities experienced by Pacific peoples. The Commission’s 2013 Annual Review of Race Relations, and the discussion paper A fair go for all? Rite tahi tātou katoa? Addressing Structural Discrimination in Public Services detailed ethnic Tangata Tiriti experiences of racism and its impact across all levels of wellbeing. However, there has been little change since the Commission first reported on these issues. This appendix does not cover all of the work the Commission has done in the past in the area of Race Relations. We acknowledge the extensive work done by all previous Race Relations Commissioners. We also acknowledge the ground-breaking work of the Race Relations Conciliators and their Office, which was established in 1971 and merged with the Commission in 2001.
