Australian Human Rights Commission presentation
Tonight I attended a Charles Sturt University public lecture presented by Professor Gillian Triggs, the President of the Australian Human Rights Commission. She spoke about "Children in immigration detention: What are the human rights issues?". Her powerful presentation was well received by the large audience. The Commission's National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention will be presented to parliament this month.
