A new report from the Commission has found all levels of government across the country are failing to address racism, and that their reluctance to call out racism prevents them from taking effective action. Read the report: loom.ly/K9PsdRA #AusHumanRights #StopRacism

Victoria needs to look over the borders at what’s happened in QLD. The harshest youth crime laws in the country have only led to overflowing children’s prisons, overcrowded watch houses, and the most egregious breaches of human rights. Not the safer communities we all want.

The burning of the Adass Israel Synagogue is more than an act of physical violence - it strikes at the heart of our shared Australian values. Hugh de Kretser, Giridharan Sivaraman and I strongly condemn this antisemitic attack. Read our joint statement at: humanrights.gov.au/about/news/med…
