If we were
to draw on their collective wisdom
to tackle the
issues of
access to justice with a multi-disciplinary approach, not only would we enhance the discussion, but we would also broaden the range of potential solutions
to issues identified.
Some of the major
issues tackled by the Commission in recent years include workplace sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination and maternity leave; disability rights in areas such as
access to transport, captioning,
access to electronic commerce for older Australians and people with a disability; race discrimination; Indigenous social
justice issues such as mandatory sentencing, community capacity - building and native title; and human rights
issues such as children in detention, education for rural and remote communities and age discrimination.
