Legal Aid Matters – Access to Justice is a Human Right!
45,000 people faced courts alone due to legal aid crisis
New national campaign launched at start of Law Week aimed at ensuring the next Federal Government responds decisively to the funding crisis.
The campaign will see lawyers and concerned organisations rally and attend events in major cities around Australia.
At least 45,000 Australians have been forced to represent themselves in court, often up against powerful and well-funded legal teams, due to the crisis in legal aid that has seen hundreds of millions of dollars ripped from these vital services.
