@FarrahTomazin @theage @smh Congratulations Farrah. Amazing

[Edward Santow @esantow]

Throughout my term as Human Rights Commissioner, I've seen again & again that Australians value fairness, equality and inclusion. Our challenge is to keep these values as our lodestar - even when this is hard.
It has been an honour to serve.

@PhilALynch @PowerOfBicycles Happy birthday Phil. Great pedal initiative!

@bloch_aaron Could not agree more

Today, I conclude my term as Victorian Equal Opportunity & Human Rights Commissioner — it has been a rare privilege to lead Victoria’s independent & impartial regulator of equality & human rights. Here are some thoughts on the challenges that lie ahead.

ICYMI... last month, a Dutch court made a landmark ruling on unfair automated decisions, and the right of affected people to have human oversight and appeal rights. Here in Australia, we are grappling with how to ensure decisions using #AI are fair and accountable.

We cannot underestimate the importance of truth-telling & interrogating the injustices experienced by Victoria’s First Nations people. Congrats to Commissioners Burke, Atkinson, Hunter, Walter & Bell on their appointment to the Yoo-rrook Justice Commission https://t.co/BR1zoKgnno

[Kristen Hilton @kristenahilton]

We're seeking expressions of interest from current and former @AmbulanceVic employees and first responders to participate in focus groups during May. It's an opportunity to share your ideas and drive positive and enduring change within the organisation. https://t.co/M7Yxcuenj8

[Kristen Hilton @kristenahilton]

I commend the Attorney-General & Chief Justice for initiating this important piece of work. The recommendations will play a critical role in creating safer working environments and shifting the burden from individual victim-survivors of sexual harassment.

[Kristen Hilton @kristenahilton]

Victoria’s courts and VCAT are a keystone of our justice system, so it’s critical they model safe, respectful workplace cultures. @HelenSzoke's report on sexual harassment in Victorian courts makes 20 important recommendations for change.
