Today I joined @CLCsAustralia to launch its State of the Sector: A sector in crisis report. Thank you for your work highlighting the role of the legal assistance sector and the significant challenges it faces.
KLC's Director Emma Golledge is giving evidence today in support of increasing access to justice in sexual harassment and discrimination claims through an equal access costs model. Go Emma! #respectatwork#humanrights@CLCsAustralia
The Power2Prevent coalition welcomes the introduction of new legislation that aims to remove financial barriers that prevent victims of workplace discrimination and sexual harassment from seeking justice.

To the five and a half million Australians who opened their hearts to walk with us, we say thank you.
We see you, we hear you and we read your messages of support which keep us on an unwavering path towards justice and peace.
It's not over. We’re not going to live in silence.
The Voice is a practical improvement that aims to end poor policies and wasted public money, and help close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, says A/Prof. Sean Brennan (@_sbrennan). Authorised by Alison Avery for UNSW, Sydney https://t.co/b6rAWcjsnR
A message from Professor Megan Davis, Co-Chair of the Uluru Dialogues and Chief Architect of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, where this all began. ❤️💛🖤

Our sincerest condolences to all of Aunty Esme Timbery's family and to the La Perouse Aboriginal community after her recent passing. We will always remember Aunty Esme's enormous contributions as a proud Bidjigal elder, community leader and inspirational artist. Vale Aunty Esme.
Over 70 public law teachers and professors have come together to debunk some of the myths about the Voice to Parliament, including Prof @Gabrielle_J_A from @UNSW.
In this last week of the Referendum, it’s more important than ever to learn more if you’re unsure.
Pat Anderson AO and @mdavisqlder will deliver four live and free online Voice info sessions this week. If you don't know, listen in. #HistoryIsCalling#VoteYes#UluruStatement https://t.co/kSNMYxdh2y
Great story @theprojecttv on why 70+ public law teachers have written to the voters of Australia ahead of the referendum - to clarify that the Voice does not represent a ‘risky’ proposal, and nor does it introduce race into the Const’n (in fact it remedies what’s already there)
It was great to be talking once again with hope that Australia can deliver a federal Human Rights Act. Thanks to the PJCHR for the inquiry and the important leadership by @AusHumanRights on the model #humanrights#auspol@CLCsAustralia
KLC gave evidence today at the Inquiry into Australia's Human Rights Framework. We argued that a new Human Rights Act should protect economic, social, and cultural rights (like the right to housing and a right to education) as well as civil and political rights.
How do the 'yes' and 'no' cases measure up in the upcoming referendum? Assess your stance on the Voice with expert analysis by Gabrielle Appleby (@gabrielle_j_a), @paulkildea and Sean Brennan (@_sbrennan). https://t.co/OOrLZJPaLj
