On 14th October 2020 VWT was delighted to become a supporter of the campaign for an Australian Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, joining over 40 other organisations.

“A Charter is about ensuring that the values we all share – like fairness, respect, dignity and compassion – are always at the heart of all government decisions, laws and policies.

It’s about clearly listing and articulating all of our human rights and freedoms so that everyone from school kids to new Australians can know their rights and understand what we value and prioritise as a community.

Importantly a Charter also provides a powerful tool to challenge injustice and means if someone has their rights violated they can take action and seek justice.“
