As an independent statutory officer, Human Rights Commissioner Tim Wilson used a wide-ranging speech to the Sydney Institute on Tuesday to articulate his agenda, declaring: "I do not want to introduce a new human rights law during my term of office. Instead, I want to strengthen the non-legislative defence of human rights."
Commissioner Wilson also used his Sydney Institute speech to argue that freedom of association, freedom of religion, freedom of expression and property rights are "forgotten freedoms" that have been compromised by laws and government intervention.
