Australians yell out "discrimination" every time their self-perceived entitlement or "right" is "violated". There is no such thing as a "right" in the objective universal sense. There are only categorical imperatives to do or not do so certain things. Thus, discrimination cannot arise when one's right is violated, it only occurs when people break the categorical imperatives. Categorical imperatives are what every person must follow for the imperative to operate universally. This is the core of the Kantian theory of ethics. Discrimination occurs when people treat some more harshly or lenient than others with respect to fulfilling these obligations.
Of course, for a country in which obligations are foreign, and any call for obligation is equated to slavery, no one in Australia would understand this, except for a very few.
