Hi eGovAU,

Just wanted to clarify that the Australian Human Rights Commission (changed name from HREOC in Sept. 2008) is not running the blog – the National Human Rights Consultation is, which is an independent committee supported by AGs. They have a website at http://www.humanrightsconsultation.gov.au

Regards,
Leon
