The Kep Enderby Memorial Lecture, Human Rights Commission 2021
The Australian Human Rights Commission has established the Kep Enderby Memorial Lecture to honour the memory of the Hon. Kep Enderby QC, who as Attorney-General was instrumental in bringing about the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth), Australia’s first federal human rights and anti-discrimination legislation.
The Lecture is delivered annually by a leading figure to advance public understanding and debate about racism, race relations and the Racial Discrimination Act.
