Does Australia need a Human Rights Act Amnesty International Australia UNSW and UNSW Law Society Speakers Forum Present: DOES AUSTRALIA NEED A HUMAN RIGHTS ACT?
Australia is the only liberal democracy without a Human Rights Act or similar human rights protection. On 10 December 2008, our Government launched a nationwide consultation to find out how Australians want their human rights protected. Submissions close on 15 June 2009. “Does Australia Need a Human Rights Act” is an open community forum that will feature a moderated panel of highly distinguished speakers, who will discuss the state of human rights in Australia – from the experience of refugees and asylum seekers, to the effects of the anti-terrorism laws. Is it the case that if human rights aren’t formally protected, they are at risk of being eroded? Come along! Be informed and make a submission to the National Human Rights Consultation: http://www.amnesty.org.au/yourhumanrights/. We are delighted to host the following speakers: Moderator: Dr Andrew Lynch (Director of the Gilbert+Tobin Centre of Public Law at the University of New South Wales) Speakers: The Rt Hon Malcolm Fraser AC CH
