WELCOME

The recent 2020 Summit called for Australia to have a Bill of Rights. This is a welcome and timely call given we are the only democracy that does not have a bill or human rights act to promote and protect human rights.

The Federal Government may respond by asking the community whether we should have an act (or charter) and what rights should be included.

This will represent an historic opportunity to get things right and to ensure all Australians and Queenslanders have a fair go.

This website explains the human rights context to give you the chance to think about the kind of community we have and how it might become even better.

Finally we give you a few ideas about how you can make a difference yourself.

FIRST CALL
An Australian human rights charter is needed that recognises all human rights are important and related to each other

SECOND CALL
Queensland and the states also need human rights charters to promote and protect those rights that relate to state areas of responsibility  

THIRD CALL
As part of developing a human rights culture, human rights education for adults and children should be a priority
