| description | The commencement of the Human Rights Act 2019 on 1 January 2020 heralds a new era in public sector decision-making in Queensland, and the community has high expectations of a regime that obliges the three arms of government to consider people’s human rights when performing their functions.

This presentation will address these questions and provide an overview of the Queensland Human Rights Commission’s plan for the successful implementation of the Act in Queensland.
Presented at Bond University's Twilight Seminar series on 6th February 2020. |
