The proposed Tasmanian Charter of Human Rights (2006)
TasCOSS' submission to the Tasmanian Law Reform Institute's inquiry 'Do we need a Tasmanian Charter of Human Rights'.

This submission argues for any Tasmanian Charter of Human Rights to include civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights in an indivisible approach that protects the full range of rights of all Tasmanians.
