Post by Law Council of Australia

Law Council of Australia President, Tania Wolff yesterday attended the National Press Club Address by President of the Australian Human Rights Commission, Hugh de Kretser, at which he launched the inaugural Human Rights Assessment. Mr de Kretser spoke of Australia’s strong human rights foundation, but warned that our success is fragile. He said that the introduction of a Human Rights Act will be an important step to strengthen human rights protections, trust and unity in Australia, and to define our shared values. The Law Council strongly supports this call. 📸 Photo caption (L-R): Tania Wolff, President, Law Council of Australia, Hugh de Kretser, President, Human Rights Commission, and Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP, Former Attorney General.   #auslaw
