Say YES to a Charter of Rights for Victoria

Professor George Williams

Human Rights Consultative Committee

Victoria
Dear Professor Williams,
I support a Charter of Rights for Victoria because it will guarantee the human rights of all Victorians. The protection of freedoms of thought, expression, religion and belief; the rights to non-discrimination and equality before the law; and the right to participate equally and actively in the political and social life of the Victorian community are fundamental. They are basic to Australias tradition of providing everyone with a fair go. Australia is the only Western country without such a Charter. I ask that your Committee recommend to the Government that Victoria should take the lead and adopt a Charter of Rights as soon as it can.

The Charter must protect all human rights, including health, education, work, housing, trade union representation, etc, as well as ICCPR rights.

Under different circumstances we could be the people in detention centres. If it would be immoral for us to be so detained, consider that it is also for those seeking our compassion and help. We must always guard against losing our humanity through fear,
