National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention

Is freedom under pressure globally?
Behind human rights is the still revolutionary idea that every human being is free and equal, that individuals own their own bodies and should be free to pursue their lives, opportunities and enterprise.

Marco Bulmer-Rizzi's husband, David, died after falling down stairs at a friend's place in Adelaide.
