The conversation follows last week's Victorian state budget, where the Allan Government delayed meeting its responsibilities to adequately resource state schools. Glenn discusses the impacts of these funding gaps on public school students, staff, and leaders, and explains how intergovernmental politics are shaping access to well resourced schools, opportunities, and quality education. As a policy sociologist, Glenn brings expertise in education reform, federalism, and global policy mobility.// Jalees Hyder: Kashmiri writer, poet, teacher, survivor// In our final segement of our special 3 part series on Kashmir, Jalees Hyder and Inez detail what actionable solidarity looks like and the icons and faces of Kashmiri resistance.

The clash between David Wolfson KC's “thin” interpretation of legal principle and Attorney General Richard Hermer's “thick” is explained through the experienced legal eyes of Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC on this episode of Double Jeopardy. They dig into the political implications of these contrasting views, the role of parliamentary sovereignty, how the UK navigates its obligations under international law, including the Chagos Island dispute and the role of the International Criminal Court, whether the Tories will commit to repeal of the Human Rights Act and leaving the ECHR and ask whether the role and function of the rule of law can ever be approached in a non-partisan way.

Maine State Rep. Laurel Libby is seeking U.S. Supreme Court intervention after being censured for social media posts about a transgender athlete winning a girls' pole vault title. Libby argues her First Amendment rights were violated and that her constituents have been silenced for over 100 days. Marc Cox breaks down the legal and political implications, including Maine Governor Janet Mills' stance on the Human Rights Act, the House Speaker's conditions for reinstatement, and the national debate over transgender athletes in women's sports.
Isabel Hardman presents highlights from Sunday morning's political shows. Pat McFadden addresses Starmer's 'coalition of the willing', and incoming reforms at Whitehall, somewhat elusively. Richard Tice defends the timing of Reform MP Rupert Lowe's suspension, and Chris Philp speaks about the Tories' suggestion to ignore the Human Rights Act when judges make decisions on immigration. Meanwhile, the Latvian President argues that other European nations should be considering conscription.
Legal wranglings are awash as our 'forensic lawyer' PM finds his Business Secretary lied about being a solicitor and the real rulers of Britain, the courts, slap down Starmer for trying to look Prime Ministerial by disagreeing with one of their rulings that bent the Human Rights Act to allow Gazan refugees the right to remain in Britain.Wake up with Morning Glory in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Freeview 280, Fire TV, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- It's that time where one party's nominations go in front of the Senate, and the other party grandstands without any honesty or self-reflection. The Dems have decided that they are going to obstruct and filibuster every single nominee that comes through committee. There are open spots, and in some cases, they create a national security risk. Instead, the head Democrat stands there with an avocado and makes us confused. John Augustine of the Legislative Evaluation Assembly returns to the podcast to tell us all about the last legislative session. It was as terrible as terrible can be, but John goes through all of the carnage with us. There were multiple issues in the last session: The Dems rolled right over the Republicans, sometimes not even allowing them to debate a bill (with only a one vote majority). They also (and Republicans do this too) shove as much legislation as they can into one, bloated bill. This is in violation of the MN constitution, but they do it anyway. Governor Walz has been in office for six years and has vetoed one bill. There have been some awful bills passed. Look at the MN Voters' Rights BIll that gave protected classes the right to seek legal remedies if they feel that election outcomes are disproportionate. They can even go as far as to throw out redistricting changes. The Educational Supplemental bill pushed anti-bullying (which means it's ok to bully perceived the oppressor class), didn't allow for conscientious objectors of vaccines, and the awful, new, woke Social Studies standards. They tried to keep religious exemptions out of the Human Rights Act. There were also some clear constitutional violations, but the MN Supreme Court seemed to take up sides with the Dems as we watched the DFL run a candidate that didn't live in his district and poll workers threw out 20 ballots in another Senate District. What's going on in this state. This podcast is Exhibit A as to why we need to turn over the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches here in Minnesota.
Kemi Badenoch has signalled that she could change her position on the ECHR.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Hearts of Oak, where today we delve deep into the heart of one of the most contentious debates of our time: the right to life. In this episode, we're joined by a distinguished guest, a medical doctor and researcher who has become a pivotal figure in the UK's pro-life movement. Prepare for an insightful conversation as we explore his transformative journey from a pro-choice stance to becoming an ardent advocate for the unborn, driven by scientific evidence and ethical reasoning. We'll discuss the current cultural landscape in the UK, where despite a prevailing pro-choice sentiment, a new wave of youthful pro-life activism is emerging, challenging the status quo. This episode promises to unravel: The ethical and scientific arguments for when life begins. The role of religious beliefs in the pro-life movement. Why there's a growing disconnect between UK law and public opinion on abortion. How the pro-life movement is evolving, engaging with media, politics, and church leaders to drive change. Join us as we navigate through these complex issues, understanding the motivations behind one man's mission to change hearts and minds, and why he believes now more than ever, the pro-life message needs to be heard. This is not just a debate; it's a call to action, a challenge to think, and a journey into the heart of what it means to champion life in all its vulnerability and potential. Tune in, and let's challenge the tide together. *Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast. Interview recorded 31.10.24 Connect with Calum
This Day in Legal History: BBC FoundedOn October 18, 1922, the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) was founded, a significant development in media law and broadcasting regulation. The BBC was established as a private corporation, but it was under significant government oversight from the start. The British government, through the Post Office, issued the first broadcasting license to the BBC, marking the beginning of public broadcasting in the United Kingdom. This laid the foundation for legal frameworks governing media, free speech, and public interest in broadcasting. The regulatory framework for the BBC was formalized with the 1927 Royal Charter, establishing it as a public corporation funded by a license fee paid by UK households with a television set. This model influenced media law around the world, as it balanced government oversight with editorial independence, a crucial tension in media law. The Charter also emphasized the BBC's duty to inform, educate, and entertain, principles that have been reflected in subsequent legal debates about public broadcasting globally.This founding event has had lasting effects on how media is regulated, ensuring that broadcasters serve the public interest while maintaining freedom from government control. The creation of the BBC contributed to the evolution of modern media law, particularly in areas concerning state influence, media independence, and the regulation of public broadcasters.A lawsuit by former Jones Day associates Mark Savignac and Julia Sheketoff, accusing the firm of gender discrimination in its parental leave policy, is set for trial on November 7, 2025. The couple claims that the firm's policy unfairly grants new mothers extra leave based on an assumed eight-week postpartum disability period, violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act, and the D.C. Human Rights Act. The court ruled that a jury could question the medical basis of the policy, warranting a trial. Before the trial, the parties are required to attempt mediation with Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey, though Jones Day expressed skepticism about reaching a settlement. The lawsuit also involves claims of retaliation, as Savignac alleges he was fired after challenging the policy, while Sheketoff had already left the firm. Both represent themselves in the case.Jones Day 'Dad Leave' Case Headed to Mediation, Gets Trial DateAhead of the November 5, 2024, U.S. election, several battleground states are warning local officials that interfering with voting or delaying result certification could lead to criminal charges or financial penalties. States such as Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have investigated and charged officials who attempted to disrupt elections in previous cycles. Pennsylvania officials, for example, threatened criminal misdemeanor charges against a local county manager who blocked the use of mail-in ballot drop boxes. In Arizona, two officials are facing felony charges for delaying vote certification in 2022.The focus on preventing election interference is driven by concerns over unfounded fraud claims and ensuring that the results are certified on time. States have tightened oversight, with penalties including fines, jail time, or responsibility for recount costs. Local officials have been reminded that the certification process is a legal requirement, not an opportunity to challenge election outcomes.US states warn officials: Delaying, tampering with vote could bring criminal charges | ReutersA Florida judge issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting the DeSantis administration from threatening to prosecute TV stations airing ads in support of the state's abortion rights referendum. The ads, promoted by the coalition Floridians Protecting Freedom, advocate for the November ballot amendment that would secure abortion access until fetal viability (around 24-28 weeks), countering Florida's six-week ban enacted earlier this year. The state's Department of Health had previously sent cease-and-desist letters to TV stations, claiming the ads were false. The judge ruled that political advertisements are protected by the First Amendment, preventing further state actions against broadcasters until a preliminary injunction hearing on October 29.Florida judge grants temporary restraining order over abortion measure adsThis week's closing theme is by Franz Liszt.This week, we close with the music of one of history's most legendary composers and pianists, who passed away on October 19, 1886. Liszt was not only a virtuoso performer but also a revolutionary composer whose works pushed the boundaries of classical music. Born in Hungary, Liszt dazzled 19th-century Europe with his unmatched piano skills, and his compositions remain staples in the concert repertoire to this day. He pioneered new musical forms, including the symphonic poem, and was deeply influenced by both Hungarian folk music and the Romantic spirit of the time.Liszt's compositions span a wide range of emotions and technical demands, showcasing both his artistic depth and virtuosity. As a composer, he sought to transcend traditional boundaries, and his works often reflect a blend of dazzling technical skill and deep emotional complexity. Among his most celebrated compositions is the "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2," which we've chosen as our closing theme this week. This piece is iconic for its vibrant energy, dramatic shifts, and a playful yet powerful use of Hungarian folk melodies. From the slow, brooding introduction to its whirlwind conclusion, it perfectly encapsulates Liszt's ability to captivate both performers and audiences. As we listen to this work, we remember the profound legacy Liszt left behind, a legacy that continues to inspire musicians and music lovers around the world.Without further ado, Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, enjoy.

Send me a messageToday's guest is a special one, and a little shorter than normal. Kevin Bell's prestigious career is incredible - in 2024 he received an award of Officer of the Order of Australia for his 'distinguished service to the law and to the judiciary, and to human rights through education and reform. For fifteen years from 2005-2020, Kevin was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria, where he sat in all divisions of the court. During that time he played a pivotal role in the implementation and operation of the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 within the Victorian legal system. He was the Commissioner of the Yoorook Justice Commission from 2021 to 2023, and is also the inaugural patron of Tenants Victoria. His CV, credentials and achievements are immense, but today he is on the show to talk about his excellent but harrowing book Housing: The Great Australian Right.If you're in Australia, you know people here have a pathological obsession with it. From owning it, renovating it, watching shows about it, scrolling property search apps, talking about it, going to Bunnings seemingly at every opportunity. That's barely the picture though - Australia is in the midst of a housing disaster, one where there has never been more homeless people in this country, more people in insecure housing, more people in unaffordable housing and never as much mortgage debt. The system is fundamentally broken in just about every way for the majority of Australians. Yet the debate about the problem is reduced to mediocre and divisive arguments about supply, immigration and funding. Kevin's book is a must read, one I cannot impress every single one of you out there get a copy of and read. It's informative, moving and imaginative. It paints a picture of the historical context of housing in Australia and how this disaster has materialised as a form of slow violence over years, decades and centuries, going back to colonisation, terra nulius and the implantation of the British property system.As a person who experiences a version of housing insecurity - someone who is having his rights adversely affected - this is personally very important to me. It should be to every single Australian - housing is the foundation of every individual's prospects in their life and for their human rights to be protected, respected and fulfilled.I'm conscious human rights can often seem like something fluffy, soft, unnecessary. How is it though that Australia is the only western liberal democracy without a Bill of Rights or Human Rights Act? Why is it that every major governmental or corporate mess or the results of royal commissions seem to be rooted in the simple realisation that the rights of the affected people were dismissed, harmed or violated? Kevin talks about human rights simply being noted by Australians - be that in legislation or in corporate policy documents. Housing, the climate crisis, aged care, First Nations peoples, domestic violence - each of these complex problem fields and many others are underpinned by a misunderstanding, a complacency or a dismissiveness of what we all hold valuable and expect as humans - our inalienable rights and fundamental freedoms are protected, respected and fulfilled.Until next time, thanks for listening.Today's show is delivered with Altiorem.

While the FSU persists in its mission to remain politically non-partisan, we are worried that the new government could bring in laws that criminalise vast swathes of speech. Freddie Attenborough highlights these concerns in an article for our website and we begin today with a discussion around the five primary free expression issues that he identifies: the APPG definition of Islamophobia, Labour's proposed Race Equality Act, a trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban, a possible Hate Crime & Public Order Act (England & Wales), and greater restriction on the freedom of the press. In the coming years, we suspect we will need to fight a number of test cases in which we challenge whether the new laws are compatible with our existing legislation, including the Human Rights Act. The reality of the UK's free speech problem is underlined by our quarterly analysis of FSU casework stats, which is hot off the press. Since our inception in February 2020, we have handled nearly 2,700 cases and, when we know the outcome, we achieve a favourable outcome for our members over 75% of the time. Shockingly, nearly one quarter of the workplace cases that we see lead to initial dismissal or the loss of a working contract (though FSU involvement may ultimately lead to some form of vindication for our member). This highlights how rapidly situations escalate in these fraught times. We end with the good news that, with our help, an FSU member has successfully fought back after being banned from a pub for gender critical views. It is especially chilling to note that this happened to a prospective parliamentary candidate during the UK's general election campaign, a time when a robust exchange of differing political opinions is surely an essential part of the democratic process. ‘That's Debatable!' is edited by Jason Clift.
www.commsolutionsmn.com- The first presidential debate is drawing nigh. It's looking like President Biden may end up being the nominee, but what about vice president? Kamala Harris remains unpopular and doesn't seem to help Joe Biden's struggling poll numbers at all. Amy Klobuchar alway outperforms in Minnesota. Why? Why do more Minnesotans vote for her? Why can't Republicans lay a glove on her? She votes along party lines with Joe Biden every time, just as she did with Barack Obama. Will the Republican strategy change with Royce White or are we in for another six years of straight Democrat votes? Well, we made it through another session of the Minnesota Legislaturere. It was bad, but it could have been a lot worse. Once again, they shoved a whole bunch of stuff into one bill, never mind that bills are supposed to ony be one issue. The Dems cut off debate mid-stream (even as amendments were being added by the Republicans) to pass their swampy omnibus bill. They are willing to break the rules to get their way. That should scare everyone. They put restrictions on Uber and Lyft drivers. This affected many independent contractors and their businesses. They passed a bill that would study the restructure Met Council leadership from appointed to elected... not that it would change anything anyway. We did get a few wins. The bonding bill didn't pass. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA bill) didn't pass. Religious exemptions were added back into the Human Rights Act, and Ranked Choice Voting was DOA... for now. Conservatives have to take back either the House or the Senate in order to keep these awful bills away. We are too close to going down and we have to stand.

Australia is currently the only Western democracy without a national human rights act. Last week, a parliamentary committee recommended to the Federal Government that this change. It could mark a significant turning point in how rights are recognised and enforced across the nation.

In a major embarrassment for India's human rights image, the National Human Rights Commission has been denied ‘A' status accreditation for a second year in a row. The Geneva-based, United Nations-linked Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) took the decision to defer it again during a meeting of the Sub-Committee on Accreditation (SCA) earlier this month. The NHRC was set up under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, and it had enjoyed ‘A' Status accreditation since the beginning of the accreditation process in 1999, which it retained in 2006, 2011 and in 2017 also, after a deferment. So, what are the reasons for the deferment of accreditation for India's top human rights institution? What are the implications of not possessing this accreditation? And what does India have to do get the accreditation back? Guest: Henri Tiphagne, Executive Director, People's Watch, a non-profit that works in the field of human rights. Host: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu. Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian.
www.commsolutionsmn.com- It's been a while, thanks to a technical meltdown at Comm Solutions HQ. We will not be kept down! We've got a couple of back episodes to release, but we're storming forward. In this episode, we discuss the passing of Senator Joe Lieberman, and his mark on the future of the Democratic Party. They have drifted so far since the days when senators like Mr Lieberman were welcome in the now super radical party. Speaking of which, we are losing a ton of farmland to the ultra rich and to the government… and apparently Minnesota is trying to give a bunch of state land “back” to Native Americans. The crazies are definitely running the DFL. The United States is playing a dangerous game with their support for Israel and/or Hamas/Hezbolla/Houthis/Iran. They are playing both sides and it is going to come back to bite us in the heinie. We went on the record at the time this was recorded to predict that the protests in this country are going to get ugly. Spoiler alert: they have. Jason went down to the capitol with about 100 pastors that were concerned about the religious exemption being excluded from the gender identity section of the Human Rights Act. The DFL is staying in lock step with each other to disallow any change to that section, despite the explicit protections in the US and MN constitutions. Hear his story on how all that worked out. We look at gas prices, inflation, crime rates, RFK's campaign, and many other current issues, and stand in awe of how bad things have gotten and how much worse they are going to get. Buckle in, because we're in for a wild ride!
In 2022, the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act amended the Human Rights Act 1993 to make conversion practices unlawful in Aotearoa New Zealand. A new study, ‘Conversion practices in Aotearoa New Zealand: Developing a holistic response to spiritual abuse', highlights support needed for people wanting to escape conversion practices in faith-based settings. Led by Director of Kaitiaki Research and Evaluation and Adjunct Professor at Victoria University, Doctor Michael Roguski, the study identified interventions required to ensure those experiencing religious conversion practices have a “pipeline to safety”. Producer Sofia Roger Williams spoke to Roguski about the study, beginning the interview asking him about his research process. She also spoke to Lived Experience and human rights advisor, Andre Afamasaga, about how Te Kāhui Tika Tangata, the Human Rights Commission, provides support to survivors of conversion practices and the importance of this [from 12:00]. She asked him firstly to introduce himself and describe what his role was at Te Kāhui Tika Tangata.

The Human Rights Act has become something of a hot topic within the political establishment. Is it a symbol of European overreach into the British courts?

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2023 on Sunday 29 October at Church House, London. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION Most people acknowledge that there is an issue with Britain's borders. The question is: who or what is to blame? For many, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and its courts in Strasbourg, has become the focus – either as the bulwark against anti-refugee sentiment, or the block on democratic process. With deportations being halted on the grounds of ‘human rights', one's view on membership of the ECHR has become shorthand for where you stand on the issue of refugees, asylum seekers and illegal migrants. Rows over the ECHR have been brewing for some time. In 2000, the Human Rights Act made the Convention an integral part of domestic law, that individuals could enforce in British courts. Since then, many, particularly on the Right, have questioned the wisdom of what they increasingly refer to as Labour's Human Rights Act. In recent years, the Conservative Party has been committed to reforming human rights by replacing the HRA with a British Bill of Rights. But no such legislation is forthcoming – and many have pointed out that, as long as Britain remains signed-up to the ECHR, a British Bill of Rights would be superfluous. Much like the European Union, the ECHR seems to have split the Tories. Some MPs hope to cut ties completely – nearly 70 Tory MPs, many from Red Wall seats, backed quitting the ECHR in a vote on a Private Member's Bill last year. Others – like Tom Tugendhat's Tory Reform Group – remain concerned about what a Brexit-style exit might do to the UK's international reputation. In the aftermath of the Second World War the European Convention on Human Rights was seen as a protection against the tyranny and oppression that some European nations had recently endured. Nowadays, those who support it stress the importance of human rights as setting a minimum standard which democracies should guarantee. Is the problem therefore simply one of European judicial overreach, or is it essentially about the very notion of ‘human rights' themselves? Are human rights and democratic, collective action doomed to forever be at loggerheads? With courts in Strasbourg and London ruling to impede government plans to stop small boats crossing the Channel, are human rights making popular government impossible? Or is the ECHR being scapegoated for inadequacies in our own backyard?

First in the House, and now in the Senate, Minnesota Democrats have refused to uphold our first American liberty - religious freedom.The whole point of the New World was escape from religious persecution. Now, Democrats in both chambers have betrayed that promise.As a reminder, last year, they added "gender identity" as a distinct protected class in the Human Rights Act without also adding it to the religious exemption. That had the effect of nullifying your First Amendment rights to religious expression and freedom of association. Churches can now be sued for refusing to hire a trans youth pastor, for instance.Religious groups and Republicans gave Democrats the maximum benefit of doubt, assuming the outcome had to be an oversight. We learned in a House Judiciary committee hearing recently that it was "not an oversight."That was a direct quote from Chair Becker-Finn. It was her intention, by her own admission, to violate her oath of office and conspire against the rights of Minnesotans. A growing list of Democrats in both chambers have affirmed the effect of that conspiracy, including every Democrat member of the House and Senate Judiciary committees, who have each taken an affirmative vote to deny Minnesotans their basic human rights. Soon, every single Democrat in both chambers will be presented with the binary choice to either uphold their oath or break it.Here's the call to action.Sign up to the Catholic Conference email list:https://mncatholic.orgSign up to the Minnesota Family Council email list:https://mfc.orgWatch your email and be ready to take political action when needed. Be ready to respond nimbly and in numbers. Organize your church, synagogue, mosque, and community.A particular word for my brothers and sisters in Christ: Now is the time to pause gospel navel-gazing. We don't need another sermon about how deeply God loves us, how assured we can be of salvation, or how important it is to pray for our enemies.Pray for victory! Then *act* like your God is worth serving. Have no doubt, this is your test. These people have told you to your face that you can not worship your God. To your face! They will not relent. Will you? Will you be Daniel with his windows open on the top floor facing Jerusalem, praying faithfully in defiance of King Darius. Or will you hide behind a false interpretation of "turn the other cheek" and let your children be taken into Babylonian captivity? You probably never imagined you'd be faced with such a choice. But brother, sister, it's here.---

The Queensland Government has passed an amendment allowing children to be kept alongside adult offenders in police watchhouses, instead of being transferred to youth detention. The change has drawn criticism for being rushed through Parliament, despite its potential conflict with the state's Human Rights Act. In today's deep dive, we'll explain what led to this new law and the controversy surrounding it. Listen to Did Victoria just get the Commonwealth Games cancelled?

ON YOUR BIKE. I have given my good bike away. This marks a defining moment in my life. My good bike sat in the backyard for almost a year. That's the last time I was out on it. A year ago. It was dawning on me that my cycling days were over except for occassional sorties on a Greenway in some secluded place. But I was reluctant to face up to that. It seemed to me that as long as I held on to my good bike I held on to the possibility of venturing forth on it. Once it was gone that possibility was gone also. So I hung on. And on. And on. Onus on Irish government to protect GFAHuman rights abuses and inequality were at the core of the Unionist Stormont Regime. Discrimination in employment and housing, the gerrymandering of electoral boundaries under the Unionist One Party state, were embedded in the DNA of Britain's colonial outpost in Ireland.Consequently, when the Good Friday Agreement came to be negotiated the issues of equality and human rights were central to its provisions. Under these there was to be a Bill of Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) was to be incorporated into the law of the North. However, 25 years later there is still no Bill of Rights and the British Tory government has repeatedly said that it intends to get rid of the Human Rights Act which reflects many of the rights provisions made in the GFA.
Human rights are under threat in the UK, warns the Northern Ireland Human Rights Chief Commissioner Alyson Kilpatrick. While the immediate question is whether the British government will change the law in order to remove large numbers of asylum seekers to Rwanda, this is in the context of proposals for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. This would have significant, negative, implications for Northern Ireland, given that this is one of the foundations of the Good Friday Agreement. The future of human rights legislation is the subject of the latest Holywell Trust Conversations, our podcast series looking at contentious challenges facing Northern Ireland. This latest podcast contains an in-depth interview with Alyson Kilpatrick, along with contributions from the new director of the Committee on the Administration of Justice, Daniel Holder, and Queen's University Professor of Human Rights, Colin Harvey. Both Alyson and Daniel express real concern about the threats to human rights in all the UK. Colin shares those concerns, while suggesting that much of the rhetoric from government ministers is to create a political environment for exploitation in the next General Election, and may not be realised in the actual legal changes that will be approved by Parliament. It is important to recognise that the context is about much more than deporting asylum seekers to Africa, including those who are fleeing from wars and oppression in places such as Afghanistan, Syria and the Horn of Africa. Questions were raised about the UK's membership of the European Convention on Human Rights – and being subject to the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights – during the Brexit referendum debates. This is despite the ECHR being separate from the EU; pre-dating the creation of the EU and its predecessors; having a much larger membership; and it having been an initiative of British Conservative Second World War Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Three government Bills affect – diminish, argue human rights lawyers – human rights in the UK. The most profound of these is the Bill of Rights Bill, which was a pet project of former deputy prime minister Dominic Raab. Whether the Bill of Rights Bill will proceed given Raab's resignation over bullying allegations is not yet clear. If it does, it will remove some protections included in the Human Rights Act. In addition, the Illegal Migration Bill seeks to limit the European Court of Human Rights' role in adjudicating over British actions to remove asylum seekers to Rwanda. And the Government's Troubles Bill, often called the legacy bill, puts an end to prosecutions and investigations into Troubles deaths in Northern Ireland. Removing human rights protections is of serious concern to lawyers, but is relevant to the daily lives of much of the population. Indeed, the failure of successive British governments to deliver the promised Northern Ireland Bill of Rights is blamed by the podcast interviewees for holding back our society in achieving greater progress towards social equality within NI. The podcast can be listened to at the Holywell Trust website. Longer versions of the three interviews are also available there.

Today we're starting with a hot topic in the news: the death of Jordan Neely, who was put in a choke hold on the New York City subway after becoming erratic and throwing garbage on passengers and allegedly threatening violence. Many, including AOC and Ayanna Pressley, are calling this a racially motivated incident, though there's no proof that it was. Vigilante justice may not be the answer, but New York City officials have surely shown no motivation to make New York safe for its citizens, as crime often goes unpunished. Then, we take a look at a Senate bill from Texas that would protect children from gender transition. We take a look at some of the people protesting this kind of bill and talk about how it's only absolute creeps who vehemently fight for the "right" for kids to "gender transition." We also look at a recent Minnesota proposition that would remove language from a current law saying pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, essentially implying ... that it is? We'll also look at some great legislation in other states that push to protect kids from gender ideology and finish off with a look at Anthropologie's latest social media ad featuring a man dressed in the company's woman's clothing. --- Timecodes: (01:48) Jordan Neely death (14:35) Texas gender transition bill & protests (26:30) Minnesota bills (35:22) Good news from other states (38:50) Anthropologie ad --- Today's Sponsors: Naturally It's Clean — visit https://naturallyitsclean.com/allie and use promo code "ALLIE" to receive 15% off your order.

A transgender Minnesota state legislator wants to add pedophiles to the state's Human Rights Act as a protected sexual orientation class. As the founding documents of queer theory promote the sexualization of children, what is the logical conclusion of this ideology? It's the normalization of pedophilia, and it's coming to fruition.

One state in Australia locks up more children than any other: Queensland. And new laws will send more children into custody than ever before. The laws go against its Human Rights Act, but the state has chosen to override those protections in response to growing media pressure about youth crime. Today, Queensland Human Rights Commissioner Scott McDougall on the rights of children in a state that's going to lock up more of them – and how his office has been sidelined.

The state government announced this week it would override its own Human Rights Act and implement laws that make breaches of bail a criminal offence for children. With youth prisons full, there are fears the new laws will lead to an ‘explosion' of children in adult watch houses. So why did the Palaszczuk government make this decision after months of arguing it would be ineffective?

The Federation of the Islamic Associations of New Zealand says proposed changes to amend hate-speech laws don't go far enough - by excluding social media where it says most verbal bullets are fired. In the wake of the Christchurch terrorist attack in 2019, the Government accepted recommendations from the Royal Commission of Inquiry to create hate-motivated offences under the Human Rights Act. FIANZ chairperson Abdur Razzaq spoke to Corin Dann.

Calls are growing for the introduction of a federal human rights act to help protect society's most vulnerable, including refugees and asylum seekers.New research by Amnesty International shows almost three-quarters of Australians support stronger laws protecting their rights as well as for those unable to speak up for themselves. - Растут призывы к принятию федерального закона о правах человека, чтобы помочь защитить предствителей наиболее уязвимых слоев общества, включая беженцев и просителей убежища. Новое исследование организации "Amnesty International" показывает, что почти три четверти австралийцев поддерживают более строгие законы, защищающие их права, а также права тех, кто не может постоять за себя.
For more than decade, justice secretary and deputy prime minister Dominic Raab has wanted to ditch the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. Now he's finally got his chance.

On Wednesday the government announced plans to create a new ‘Bill of Rights' to Parliament, that will replace the current Human Rights Act. It argues that these reforms will ‘reinforce freedom of speech, enable us to deport more foreign offenders and better protect the public from dangerous criminals'. But organisations that work with female victims of crime say this is a direct attack on women's rights. They say the Human Rights Act is an important weapon when it comes to victims and survivors' ability to seek justice. Next Monday is the start of this year's Wimbledon and today we discover the story behind Althea Gibson the first Black woman to win Wimbledon in 1957 and 1958. Despite many obstacles her achievements, now more than 60 years ago, led seven-times Wimbledon winner, Serena Williams, to describe her as the ‘most important pioneer for tennis'. Writer and performer Kemi-Bo Jacobs was so inspired by her that she has written a one-woman play about this trailblazer, now on stage at the Alphabetti Theatre in Newcastle. With festival season well underway, the Association of Independent Festivals has re-launched the Safer Spaces campaign which tackles sexual assault and harassment at festivals. Over 100 festivals have signed up to their charter, and will be rolling out their policies over the summer. Anita Rani is joined by Kate Osler, who is on the non-executive board of the Association of Independent Festivals and is secretary director for the El Dorado festival where she is currently setting up for next weekend, and Bea Bennister, who co-founded Girls Against, a non-profit organisation fighting sexual assault at live music events. Women who have suffered multiple miscarriages and stillbirths are at greater risk of stroke, according to new research published by the British Medical Journal. The data looked at over 600,000 women around the world, and in particular women aged between 32 and 73 who were then followed up for an average of 11 years. Professor Gita Mishra is from the University of Queensland, School of Public Health and the senior author on this project. As far as festivals go, Shetland's famous Up Helly Aa fire festival has to be one of the most spectacular. It takes place in January and remembers the Vikings who used to rule the Shetland islands 1,000 years ago. Warriors parade through the streets by torchlight as visitors from across the world gather to watch the spectacle and the day culminates with the dramatic burning of a replica Viking long ship. But women and girls have never been allowed to take part in Lerwick - which is the capital of Shetland - until now. It was announced earlier this week there will no longer be gender restrictions. Johan Adamson is a campaigner from the group Up Helly Aa for Aa and Amy Gear is codirector of arts organisation Gaada who looked at the equality of Up Helly Aa for of their projects.

A transformative electionThe overwhelming majority of citizens on this island want our future to be different from what went before. Those who voted last Thursday want those they have elected to represent their interests, to make power sharing work and to shape a new future.Attacks on Human Rights laws must be opposedThe British government confirmed this week that it plans to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights. In a letter to Boris Johnson over 50 human rights groups warned of the “dire consequences” this move will have particularly in respect of the Good Friday Agreement.
The Minnesota Department of Human Rights found that Minneapolis and the city's police department engaged in a pattern or practice of race discrimination in violation of the state's Human Rights Act. The two-year-long investigation began after former officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd in 2020. Russia released a former U.S. Marine from its custody yesterday in a prisoner swap with the U.S. The unexpected move indicates that there might be some diplomatic breakthroughs between Russia and the U.S. in the midst of Russia's war against Ukraine. And in headlines: Myanmar's civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced to five more years in prison, Southern California officials declared an emergency water shortage, and a New York appeals court rejected a congressional map drawn by state Democrats in the legislature.
