Legislating Human Rights Acts from Whitlam to Now

Why Australia needs a national Human Rights Act — and what real change could look like. This video captures the Whitlam Institute’s event, the launch of Legislating Human Rights: From Whitlam to Now, featuring the launch of a major new report by Professor Azadeh Dastyari and Cassandra Le Good. The event includes powerful keynote remarks from The Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG, former Justice of the High Court of Australia and lifelong human rights advocate.
