The ECAJ has made a Submission to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee Inquiry into the Modern Slavery Bill 2018.

On May 2, Peter Wertheim appeared before the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade's Parliamentary Inquiry into the status of the human right to freedom of religion or belief.

6th February, 2018 In November last year, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced the appointment of an Expert Panel to examine whether Australian law adequately protects the human right to freedom of religion.

Peter Wertheim, Executive Director at the ECAJ, appeared before the Select Committee on Strengthening Multiculturalism on 29th June, 2017.

Federal, State and Territory governments should agree upon a definition of ‘bias-motivated crime’ that is officially recognised throughout Australia and establish an official, centralised, system for the nation-wide recording of such crimes and their classification according to agreed categories, including race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, gender, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or any other similar factor.
