Dear Petition Supporters,

Recent developments indicate significant positive momentum towards establishing an Australian National Human Rights Act. Key advancements include:

1. **Parliamentary Support**: A Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights has recommended legislating a national Human Rights Act. This follows extensive public and expert consultations, with 87% of submissions to the inquiry supporting the move [[❞]](https://cathnews.com/2024/07/05/outgoing-head-of-human-rights-commission-calls-for-human-rights-act/ [[❞]](https://uniting.church/welcoming-calls-for-a-human-rights-act/

2. **Advocacy from Human Rights Commission**: Outgoing president of the Australian Human Rights Commission, Rosalind Croucher, has strongly advocated for the act, emphasizing its necessity for safeguarding rights and improving governmental accountability [[❞]](https://cathnews.com/2024/07/05/outgoing-head-of-human-rights-commission-calls-for-human-rights-act/

3. **Public and Organizational Endorsement**: Over 100 organizations, including Amnesty International and the Uniting Church in Australia, have welcomed the parliamentary report's recommendations, highlighting the broad support across civil society [[❞]](https://www.amnesty.org.au/good-news-human-rights-act-is-one-step-closer/ [[❞]](https://uniting.church/welcoming-calls-for-a-human-rights-act/

These developments suggest that Australia is moving closer to enacting a comprehensive Human Rights Act, which would address current gaps in protections and provide clearer legal recourse for rights violations.

Thank you very much for all of your wonderful support. 

Sincerely, 

Mr. Adrian Praljak
