Call for Submissions – Setting the Agenda
The Law Council of Australia understands that the intention of this call for submissions is to directly seek out the views of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander individuals or from organisations and groups that are First Nations owned, led and/or operated.
While the Law Council is not a First Nations organisation, this submission draws upon the views of First Nations lawyers on our Indigenous Legal Issues Committee, and particular First Nations lawyers who are members of our Constituent Bodies. We are grateful to the Victorian Bar’s Indigenous Justice Committee for providing their views.
As a preliminary comment, First Nations legal practitioners responding to this inquiry are supportive of the high-level goals set out in the call for submissions, and we have highlighted targeted areas for further advocacy and collaboration under each of those goals. The work of the Social Justice Commissioner is inherently intersectional and plays an important role in drawing together disparate or siloed areas of government to facilitate a concerted approach to First Nations empowerment.
