Channel: Queensland Council for Civil Liberties
Date: 2020-10-20

In this lecture, Queensland's inaugural Human Rights Commissioner - Scott McDougall - delivers a review of the first year of Queensland's Human Rights Act. 

Mr McDougall frames this discussion around the ways in which the Human Rights Act has facilitated each of the three branches of government to enter into a dialogue on human rights. 

He offers some conclusions as to the quality of this dialogue and fields questions from the audience on a wide range of topics.
