Melbourne Writers Festival presents Geoffrey Robertson QC – The Statute of Liberty: How Australians Can Take Back Their Human Right.
Geoffrey Robertson QC is recognised as one of the world's leading human rights lawyers and played a major part in the enactment of the British bill of rights. In this special Melbourne Writers Festival event, he will ask: Why is Australia the only developed nation in the world without a bill of rights? He will put forward his case, illustrating his point with evidence from other countries of how a statute of liberty helps ordinary citizens and improves standards of governance and public services.
