Does South Australia Need a Human Rights Framework to guide government decision making and law making?
The Rights Resource Network SA has identified several options available to South Australian lawmakers and policy makers that would improve the protection and promotion of human rights in South Australia. This is why we talk about a ‘Framework’ rather than a Human Rights Act or Charter of Rights. Whilst the two ideas are not mutually exclusive, the term ‘Framework’ includes a broader range of actions, processes and practices that aim to be preventative in nature and contribute to the further development of a culture consistent with human rights standards among key public decision makers and public institutions.

Noting the Rights Resource Network Human Rights Day report from 2020, do you agree that it is time for SA to design and implement a Human Rights Framework of some kind? Can you provide some reasons?
