We are an independent national movement of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and migrant communities campaigning around issues of racial justice. At the Victorian Election on 24 November, we're voting for a fair society that includes us.

For far too long our communities have been singled out by politicians or flat out ignored. But we can stand together to put the issues that affect us front and centre.

Together, we have put every political party on notice. We have independently assessed their words, actions and policies to let our communities know exactly what electing them means for us.

Although these parties will go to any lengths to get their messages of fear and division as far and wide as possible, we have people power on our side.

We can all work together to change the narrative and take action to achieve migrant and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' rights.

Where do the parties stand on our issues?

To work this out, we began by surveying Colour Code members to find out the issues that were important to them. They voted for these issues:

• A Treaty with First Nations peoples, lead by First Nations peoples
• Actively stopping politically motivated attacks on communities because of their race, religion or language
• A commitment to multiculturalism policies, equality and inclusion
• Policies to stop discrimination in all areas of the legal system
• Policies that combat discrimination in hiring practices
• Policies to ensure migrants prior work and study is recognised
• Programs to ensure equal representation in politics and media

Next, we surveyed political parties and asked them where they stand on each of these issues. We also researched party policy platforms and statements from spokespeople. You can find a detailed scorecard including survey response information and our research here.
