PUBLICATIONS PIAC submission to the First Exposure Draft legislation of the National Energy Customer Framework (12 June 2009) In this submission, PIAC identified the key areas that it believes to be priority concerns for NSW consumers. Realising rights: submission to the National Human Rights Consultation (15 June 2009) PIAC identified the features of effective human rights protection and promotion that it considers necessary to build into any future human rights framework. PIAC advocated for a Human Rights Act to protect all of the rights set out in the ‘International Bill of Rights’ (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights) as well as third generation rights as reflected in the South Africa Rights Charter. 54 Our rights matter! The voices of those who are or have been homeless in Sydney. Submission to the National Consultation on Human Rights (15 June 2009) HPLS, in this submission, responded to the Australian Government’s announcement of a national consultation on human rights protection. In order to ensure the active involvement of homeless people in this process, HPLS held a series of consultation workshops that were conducted jointly with Milk Crate Theatre. The comments, ideas and stories HPLS received at these consultation events were included in HPLS submission. PUBLIC INTEREST ADVOCACY CENTRE • ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009
