Social Development Committee: Inquiry into the Potential for a Human Rights Act for South Australia—Corrigendum

Ms THOMPSON (Davenport) (11:23): I move:

That the report of the committee entitled, Inquiry into the Potential for a Human Rights Act for South Australia—Corrigendum, be noted.

The Social Development Committee tabled its 49th report on the Inquiry into the Potential for a Human Rights Act for South Australia on 29 April 2025. It was noted at the time when the full report was tabled that the committee received many submissions to this inquiry.

Submission No. 112 discussed the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006. The submission advised the committee that a private member's bill, namely the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Amendment (Protection from Torture and Slavery) Bill 2023, had amended the Victorian charter.

On page 70 the report of the committee refers to the information on the Victorian charter as provided in the submission. The committee subsequently became aware that the bill had not been passed and that the Victorian charter had not been amended. The committee was provided with the correct submission by the submitters. Accordingly, the committee substitutes the relevant passage on page 70 of the report with the corrigendum, as tabled on 3 June 2025.

Motion carried.
