Australia

Read the report below. As you do so, consider how this report differs from the Australian government submission you read in Activity Three. Which do you think is more accurate, or is it just a matter of different perspectives? Are there any findings you found surprising in the reports?

Australian Human Rights Commission, ‘Australia’s Second Universal Periodic Review: Submission by the Australian Human Rights Commission under the Universal Periodic Review Process: 2015’.
