Abstract
South Africans seemed to be absorbed by the issues about racism and reconciliation. There also seems to be an implicit assumption that these are exclusively ‘South African issues’, and therefore more relevant to this country than to anywhere else. This was also a perception conveyed during the South African Human Rights Commission's inquiry into racism in the media. Very little South African research work has been done which contextualises these issues in a global perspective. Issues of race, ethnicity and reconciliation that currently engage South African and Australian societies are discussed, while reference is made to media discourses of both countries. It suggests some of the commonalities on and differences on these issues, indicating conservative and progressive trends elaborated upon in public and media discourse.
