Marginalised Queenslanders Influencing Public Policy Workshop
On Monday 18/08/2015 CEO Shane Duffy took part in a great workshop supported by QCOSS, Anti-Discrimination Commission Queensland, the Queensland Public Advocate, Queenslanders with Disability Network and Griffith University. The workshop provided a valuable insight into how the most vulnerable Queenslanders’ can influence public policy from a number of different perspectives.
The keynote address by Professor Gerard Quinn focused on restoring the “human” in “Human Rights” and the case for a Charter of Rights in providing a voice for marginalised citizens.
Providing a critical perspective from the Indigenous sector Shane was part of a panel of key opinion leaders exploring topics such as criminal justice, need driven investment, consumer lead design of services and vulnerability in a market environment.
