Graeme Innes Speaks To Disability Rights Advocate, Maurice Corcoran - Podcast
The Australian Human Rights Commission releases instalment 2 of its first series of Pod Rights, a series of podcasts that will look at and delve into important issues in the human rights world. In the world around us, there are many areas in which discrimination might appear entrenched in the system. Though it might appear difficult, there are ways in which we can bring about systemic change. One of these ways is through the Australian Human Rights Commission complaints process.
In this instalment of Pod Rights, Disability and Race Discrimination Commissioner, Graeme Innes, speaks to disability advocate, Maurice Corcoran, about using the tools of the complaints process (in this case, under the Disability Discrimination Act) to bring about real change. Mr. Corcoran uses his experiences with public transport and airlines to illustrate the ways in which success can be achieved. A new installment of Pod Rights will appear on the Australian Human Rights Commission website every second Monday, commencing 1 February 2010.
