"Hugh outlined the case for an Australian Charter of Human Rights, describing how it would work in ensuring that government and the public service took into account the impact of decisions, policies and processes on the basic rights of citizens.
He provided the example of the Victorian Human Rights Charter and how it had provided a framework that had added value and improved the policy process, leading to better outcomes.
Hugh’s parents, former Victorian Governor David de Krester and Jan de Krester (pictured below with President Robert), were also at the lunch as guests of the Rotary Club of Melbourne.” Thank you to Ian Hamm for this summary for Bulletin!
