On-demand: Professor Sue Harris Rimmer on the Queensland Human Rights Act review

In this special QCOSS Human Rights Network meeting, QCOSS CEO Aimee McVeigh sat down for a conversation with Professor Susan Harris Rimmer, who is currently undertaking an independent review of the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld).

This session, available for playback now on-demand, is a great opportunity learn how you can engage in the review going forward. Reflect on how our Human Rights Act is serving the community, and to explore areas where it can be strengthened.

Professor Harris-Rimmer is due to provide her report to the Attorney-General by 20 September 2024.
