Chapter 5: Business and our human rights in the Declaration
<h2><strong>5.1 Introduction</strong></h2> <p>The significant role of business to respect and support our human rights is increasingly being recognised. Although the protection of human rights remains the responsibility of government, business is realising that human rights are both relevant and fundamental to their operations. In many of the conversations I have had with business and community leaders across the country, there is a firm view that business can – and does – play a fundamental role in the realisation of human rights by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.</p> -

Launch of Ros Kidd's 'Black lives, government lies' (2nd edition)
Dr Kidd has made an enormously valuable contribution to our understanding of the history of relations between Indigenous peoples in Queensland and government. Because of her commitment and tenacity in obtaining access to, and then exposing the contents of, government records about the administration of Indigenous peoples' lives, we now know far more about the precise details, the extent and the nature of the control exercised by governments in Queensland over the lives of Indigenous peoples over the past 100 years than we otherwise would. -

Track the History - Us Taken-Away Kids: commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 'Bringing them home' report
This timeline focuses on one particular aspect of the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples - the forcible removal of Indigenous children from their families. This material identifies some significant laws and practices that made removal lawful and includes writing and artwork from members of the Stolen Generations and their families which illustrate their experiences of these policies. This section uses as its primary resource Bringing them home, the report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families.
