Human Rights: Making Fair Play our Goal

This year, the countdown to the last week in September means more than just footy finals. It is also when the National Human Rights Consultation is due to make its final report to the Federal Government.

ECLC believes that because written rules ensure fair play on the sportsfield, they are also needed to ensure fair play in life. This is why we have called for the introduction of a Federal Human Rights Act. Please find attached the Eastern Community Legal Centre’s submission to the National Human Rights Consultation, Human Rights are Aussie Rules: Making Fair Play our Goal.

For more information about the launch contact Project Co-ordinator, Tanja Kovac on (03) 9285 4822 or 0419 910 577.
