Today is #RareDiseaseDay2025
Without their #HumanRights protected in NSW law, people living with #RareDisease often fall through the cracks. A #HumanRightsAct4NSW would create a framework for decisions that deliver dignity & equity in social opportunities & access to #healthcare

[Human Rights Act for NSW @HumanRights4NSW]

NSW is currently inquiring into foundational & #Disability supports for #Children & young people. Make a submissions or complete the online questionnaire by 31 March & help ensure human rights & lived experience help inform policy making

A #HumanRightsAct4NSW offers a path to the society we want - one that can become more equal, fair & sustainable, one in which everyone can live with dignity & security.
It's time to protect #OurRightsOurFutureRightNow

"It’s time for the NSW Govt to ensure laws are properly scrutinised for their compatibility with our #HumanRights. @AusLawyersHR calls for NSW to catch up with Vic, QLD & the ACT by protecting the right to freedom of assembly in a #HumanRightsAct4NSW"
#auslaw #ProtectProtest

[Aus Law Human Rights @AusLawyersHR]

The NSW Govt’s rush to legislate further anti-protest laws is another unwarranted assault on the right to #protest in NSW.
These measures are inconsistent with Australia’s #HumanRights obligations.

Today ALHR & @HumanRights4NSW are thrilled to join @uonlawschool's Centre for law & Social Justice at our 3rd annual School Student Forum. This year's focus is the right to #participation - one of many #Children's #CRC #HumanRights that should be protected in a #HRA4NSW

People in NSW are amongst the only citizens in the democratic world living without a #HumanRightsAct or bill of rights. @AusLawyersHR's Kerry Weste spoke to the @LawSocietyNSW Journal about why it's time for a #HumanRightsAct4NSW

People in NSW deserve to have their #HumanRights protected in law. @AusLawyersHR's Kerry Weste spoke with @PaulrGregoire about our sold out event with @NSWBar & why there's never been a better time for the NSW Govt to begin a conversation about a #HRA4NSW
#nswpol @NSWCCL #auslaw

[Paul Gregoire @PaulrGregoire]

The campaign for a Human Rights Act in NSW is picking up pace

@AusLawyersHR's Kerry Weste explains that a HRA would allow constituents to seek recourse over rights issues, while also ensuring that government produces rights-forward laws and policies
