An Indigenous Australian family is taking its case to the Human Rights Commission amid claims they were denied entry to two western Sydney hotels partly due to their race.

An Aboriginal Australian family is taking its case to the Human Rights Commission amid claims they were denied entry to two western Sydney hotels partly due to their race.

They allege they were denied access"because, or at least partly because, they were a group of Aboriginal people".Mr Davison said they arrived at the Bidwill Hotel after attending a wake. "We shouldn't have to put up with that sort of treatment, it just goes to show that racism is alive and well in our country and that is why we are making a stand."

Video footage of the alleged incident was posted to Facebook by Nathan Dean Merritt who was among the group trying to enter the Bidwill Hotel.
