Human Rights in Oz: Tell Kevin and Co What You Think!

From 19 May to 26 June 2009, the Australian Government is running an online community consultation on human rights and responsibilities on Open Forum.

Introducing the online consultation the Chair of the National Human Rights Consultation Committee, Fr Frank Brennan, urged all people in Australia to consider sharing their views on three key consultation questions and whether Australia should have a statutory bill or charter of rights.

Don’t dismiss this as nothing more than a chance to have a whinge in a chat room. By leaving a comment on this forum, you are communicating directly with the Committee and your views will be considered in their final report to the Australian Government.

The National Human Rights Online Consultation is open for public commentary until 5:00pm, Friday, 26 June 2009.
