The HCA's vice-chair, Surinder Jain, is a current member of the NSW Faith Affairs Council.The HCA said it "respects the rights of all community groups and faiths and respects the function of the Human Rights Commission in receiving complaints and providing confidential conciliation between the parties", but alleges it did not know about the complaint against Kamper.It's believed to be the first time the AHRC has accepted a complaint against a sitting minister from NSW or Multicultural NSW.The AHRC complaint has been made under section 9 of the Racial Discrimination Act, arguing that Kamper and Multicultural NSW engaged in "systemic exclusion of the concerns raised by South Asian Muslim communities and caste-oppressed Hindu communities" In September 2025, the Alliance Against Islamophobia lodged a separate AHRC complaint against the HCA, alleging that its president, Sai Paravastu, as well as its head of media, Neelima Paravastu, had reshared Islamophobic posts on X, including one from far-right UK commentator Tommy Robinson that described Muslims as "savages".The current complaint against Kamper alleges he continued to appoint a member of the HCA to the Faith Affairs Council despite being aware of the AHRC complaint, "and being provided with materials evidencing anti-Muslim and caste-based discrimination and intimidation".The complaint also alleges Multicultural NSW and Kamper "failed to appoint any representative of South Asian Muslim communities or caste-oppressed communities" to the faith council.Kamper set up the NSW Faith Affairs Council in November 2023
