Tomorrow: Public lecture: A Human Rights Act for NSW – 17 October 2024

16/10/2024

The NSW Bar Association and the Human Rights Act for NSW Alliance invite you to attend a public lecture on ‘A Human Rights Act for NSW’, hosted by the Sydney Law School at the University of Sydney at 6pm on Thursday, 17 October 2024.

Why should NSW enact a human rights act and what rights could be protected? How would it make a difference to the lives of people in NSW and why is a state human rights act needed in addition to a Commonwealth human rights act? Join our esteemed speakers for an engaging discussion about the benefits of a state human rights act, lessons learned from other jurisdictions and how to promote community engagement to achieve this reform.

The Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG will deliver the keynote address.

Attendees will be invited to remain at the venue for an informal networking event at the conclusion of speeches and the panel discussion.
