The power of the national Parliament to pass this over riding law arises under the external affairs power contained in section 51 xxix of the Australian Constitution section 51 xxix of the Australian Constitution . The power arose from the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination to which Australia is a signatory. This use of the power in this manner was confirmed in the landmark High Court of Australia High Court decision in Koowarta v. Bjelke Petersen in 1982. Definition of racial discrimination under the Act Racial discrimination occurs under the RDA when someone is treated less fairly than someone else in a similar situation because of their race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin. Racial discrimination can also occur when a policy or rule appears to treat everyone in the same way but actually has an unfair effect on more people of a particular race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin than others.
