Frank Brennan SJ to lead Human Rights Consultation
Jesuit Social Services Board member Father Frank Brennan SJ AO was this week announced to lead a public consultation into Australia’s opinion on human rights. The consultation will ultimately decide if Australia will have its own Bill of Rights. The announcement, made by Attorney-General Robert McClelland, came with high praise from many circles, including the legal profession and across the media. Fr. Brennan is highly regarded for his work for social justice and human rights and in his position as eminent professor of law at the Australian Catholic University. He was awarded an Australian Order in 1995 for his services to Aboriginal Australians.
Julie Edwards, CEO of Jesuit Social Services, commented that “Frank Brennan is a leader in human rights and a great choice for this significant investigation into what Australians value and how we should protect those who may be socially excluded.”
Frank Brennan has been a Board member with Jesuit Social Services since April 2007. http://www.humanrightsconsultation.gov.au/
