Apathy towards rights protections; An underdeveloped rights culture; Opposition to the equal sharing of rights: All these things undermine Australia’s record on human rights. Whether it's our treatment of asylum seekers or the current debate around free speech, a concerning trend of selectivity hampers the realisation of rights for all. Guest speaker: Hugh de Kretser (executive director of the Human Rights Law Centre). 12:45-1:15pm. The Wheeler Centre, 176 Little Lonsdale Street, City. This is a free event. Bookings are not required.
