Why does Australia need a Human Rights Act? - ft. Joe, an Amnesty International activist

Did you know Australia is the only liberal democracy in the world without a Human Rights Act? Our fourth episode for this season discusses the potential a Human Rights Act has for Australia, and how Amnesty International activists are campaigning for positive change across the country. Our guest for this episode is Joe, a member of Amnesty’s Activism Leadership Committee (ALC) for the ACT and Southern NSW region and leading activist in the Human Rights Act campaign. If you live in the Canberra region and want to join Amnesty’s campaign for a Human Rights Act, then please email Amnesty’s president for the region at [email protected] to join our working group.
