Western Australia Heritage Protection Laws w/ Dr Hannah McGlade

The Western Australian government is re-drafting its heritage protection laws, after mining company Rio Tinto destroyed a FORTY SIX THOUSAND year old sacred site. 

However, under these new proposed laws, the Western Australia Government still retains the final decision in heritage disputes.

A group of Aboriginal Australians including Nyungar human rights lawyer and academic, Dr Hannah McGlade have made a formal request for the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to review the draft Cultural Heritage Bill.

Jessica Hopkins spoke to McGlade, who says the proposed legislation is insufficient protection of the right to culture, which prohibits states from destroying significant Indigenous cultural heritage.

Here is that interview...

Hate Speech Law Reforms w/ Shaneel Lal: November 24, 2022

Since the 2019 Christchurch terrorist attack, the Labour Government has been looking to expand our hate speech laws. 

Under the Human Rights Act, people in Aotearoa are protected from hate speech on the basis of colour, race, ethnic or national origins.

The Government initially proposed extending this to other groups who are vulnerable to harmful speech, including women, disabled people, and queer people. 

But the government announced this week that they will only make one amendment to hate speech laws to include religious communities and are seeking broad support across parliament. 

95bFM News & Editorial Director spoke to Activist Shaneel Lal about the changes.

Youth Name Change Laws w/ Willow Heron: December 1st, 2022

A petition has recently been launched calling for the reforming of New Zealand's name change laws. 

Under the current system, those between the ages of 16 to 18 are still legally required to receive signed approval from both of their parents outside of certain circumstances. 

This can be especially an issue for trans tamariki who have rough relationships with parents, forcing deadnames in legal documents and objects. 

Liam had a chat with Willow Heron, who launched the petition, about the current state of our laws and what she thinks needs to change.

Get Action! Coalition for the Safety of Women and Children and AVA Anti-Violence Action's Petition for Stalking Legislation w Leonie Morris: 8 May, 2024

On the 19th of December 2022, Farzana Yaqubi, a 21 year old law student at AUT, was murdered by a man who had been repeatedly stalking her and sending her threatening messages on social media. In the months leading up to her murder, Farzana made multiple police reports with evidence of her experienced stalking, urging law enforcement to intervene. However, her reports were effectively disregarded and treated as low priority, as there are no official laws in Aotearoa that criminalise stalking.

Farzana’s murder triggered a call to the government from numerous women’s rights advocates across the motu to come up with more effective legislation to criminalise stalking and establish more effective preventative measures in law enforcement.

For this week’s Get Action! Oto spoke to Leonie Morris from the Auckland Women’s Centre, to discuss a petition calling for the official criminalisation of stalking.
