The Australian Lawyers Alliance said today that Human Rights Watch’s assessment of Australian asylum seeker policy as ‘draconian’ will plunge further in coming months if legislation currently on the table passes in the Parliament of Australia. Proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act will effectively disallow people from utilising the law, the Australian Lawyers Alliance said today. Proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act are being hotly debated in the media, however, the focus on s18C could be missing crucial issues, writes Emily Mitchell, Legal and Policy Officer at the Australian Lawyers Alliance.

I am leading a national conversation with the Muslim-Australian community about incidents of Islamophobia and hate speech. My fellow Commissioner, the Human Rights Commissioner is leading interfaith conversations that will, in part, consider the balancing of the right to free speech with other human rights protections in Australia.

(Allens will drop the name of its Melbourne forebear firm, Arthur Robinson, but that is an unrelated branding decision.)  Profits will be shared only through the Asian joint ventures. The game has changed dramatically in 2012 with four pre-eminent Australian firms announcing radically different global strategies.

The Australian Lawyers Alliance is calling on the Australian Government to pay compensation to children who have been illegally detained in this country on suspicion of people smuggling following the release of a damning Human Rights Commission report on the matter today.  “The fact that one asylum seeker, out of tens of thousands, has been  charged with a criminal offence should not lead to a further erosion of the already limited rights of asylum seekers in the community,” ALA criminal law spokesman, Greg Barns, said today. The Australian Lawyers Alliance is concerned that the rights of a boatload of Sri Lankan men, women and children who reached WA on Tuesday are being ignored as Australia continues to flout its international obligations to asylum seekers.
