13/02/2023

The Australian Human Rights Institute and PIAC are co-hosting the launch event for '50 Human Rights Cases that Changed Australia' on Thursday, 21 February from 6.00pm at Gilbert + Tobin, Sydney.

The book summarises and analyses 50 of Australia’s most significant and influential human rights cases from all Australian states and territories. The landmark cases include freedom of expression and First Nations land rights cases of the 1990s, earlier cases on civil liberties and criminal procedure, and more recent advances in LGBTIQA+ rights, environmental justice, and the rights of people with disabilities. The foreword to the book has been written by the Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG, who described the book as 'a courageous, innovative and novel text'.
