Words or action? Dreyfus and human rights at home
Mark Dreyfus has been appointed Australia’s special envoy on human rights. Is the government prepared to match international advocacy with concrete action at home – by finally legislating a Human Rights Act?

Side note: It's hard to express how big a deal this is, especially for me personally. I hope this is the first of many dominoes.
