Government to establish Human Rights Commission by July
Attorney General Mr Ellicott announced the plan to form a National Human Rights Commission by 1 July next year to hear complaints of discrimination under Commonwealth laws on race or sex and to review laws and practices for consistency with the UN civil and political rights covenant. The commission will not handle employment discrimination, which remains under existing national and state committees, and will coordinate education and promotion of human rights. The government will seek uniform anti-discrimination approaches through talks with state Premiers to reduce overlap and inconsistency.
