Source: Victoria. Attorney General. Media Release
"The Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission will have a new governance structure under legislation tabled in State Parliament by the Brumby Government. Deputy Premier and Attorney-General Rob Hulls said the proposed changes would better equip the Commission to manage its broader focus on human rights and addressing systemic discrimination. The Brumby Government has committed to strengthening Victoria’s equal opportunity framework in line with an independent review by former Public Advocate Julian Gardner.“This review will inform a major overhaul of Victoria’s equal opportunity laws and the role of the Commission over the next five years,” Mr Hulls said."
