NSW greens to introduce Human Rights Act for NSW

New South Wales Greens human rights spokesperson Jenny Leong gave notice on 19 March that she'll soon be introducing a Human Rights Bill into NSW parliament, which will seek to uphold the rights of NSW citizens and residents under state law, and she further notes that the NSW Labor government has assured it's open to working constructively on the issue.

Not having a Human Rights Act in place in 2025 does seem a little odd for a state like NSW, especially as most liberal democracies around the planet have one. But the lack of a HRA does go a long way to explaining how successive NSW governments have been getting away with riding roughshod over constituents' liberties whilst enacting the rights-eroding laws of recent decades.
