Pod Rights episode 4
The Australian Human Rights Commission releases installment four of its first series of Pod Rights, a series of podcasts that looks at and delves into important issues in the human rights world.
In this installment of Pod Rights, Disability and Race Discrimination Commissioner, Graeme Innes, gets an outside perspective of the Commission’s powers and how they might be used. He looks at the role that a legal advocacy centre can play in assisting complainants and how knowledge of Australian human rights laws may mean that the Human Rights Commission can be encouraged to use some of its other powers. To discuss the Commission’s involvement in these areas, Graeme is joined by
Robin Banks, who has been the CEO of the Public Interest Advocacy centre since 2004.
A new installment of Pod Rights will appear on the Australian Human Rights Commission website every second week.
