Attorney General, Robert McClelland, today agreed to a request by Father Frank Brennan, Chair of the National Human Rights Consultation Committee, for a further one month extension to the reporting date of the National Human Rights Consultation. The Committee will now report to Government by 30 September 2009. The Committee has requested a short extension to ensure that it has sufficient time to consider all of the views expressed by the community during the consultation. The Committee has undertaken a broad and extensive consultation process, receiving around 40,000 written submissions and conducting 66 community roundtables in 52 locations across Australia. In addition, the Committee has also established an interactive website and on-line forum and undertaken a number of telephone polls. It is important that all views expressed by the community about the future protection of human rights are considered by the Committee. The National Human Rights Consultation is a significant process, which will better inform Government on the range of community views about how we should promote and protect human rights and responsibilities. The Government looks forward to receiving the Committee’s report. Media Contact: Adam Siddique 0407 473 630 |
