New Matiilda has extended the consultation period until the end of March.
New Matilda wishes to consult widely on its draft Bill. We invite comments, questions and debate through the Human Rights Act forum on the website (click here). We also invite detailed submissions from individuals and organisations. The submissions received so far are below. There are also guidelines below.
Please note that the forum is open to all, including non-New Matilda subscribers. If you are not a New Matilda subscriber you will have to register for use, which is free.
1. Do you support the draft Human Rights Bill that New Matilda has prepared?
2. Does the draft Bill protect the appropriate mix of rights?
3. Does the balance struck in the draft Bill between the executive, the parliament and the courts provide adequate and appropriate protection of human rights?
4. Does the draft Bill provide appropriate remedies for unlawful infringement of human rights?
5. Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
