The Federal Election will be held this Saturday, 3 May 2025.
Liberty Victoria does not endorse any candidate or party in this, or any other, election. Instead, we seek always to defend and extend human rights and civil liberties and encourage our supporters and all Australians to think deeply about where their candidates stand on these issues.
An open letter to the city of Melbourne:
Facial recognition technology is not the future we want
The Victorian Council for Civil Liberties, known as Liberty Victoria, is one of Australia’s leading civil liberties organisations. We have worked to defend and extend human rights and freedoms in Victoria since 1936.
We write to express our opposition to Melbourne City Council’s proposed use of facial recognition technology in public spaces across our city.
Liberty Victoria: Statement about current situation in Gaza
Liberty Victoria calls on the Australian Government to immediately do everything in its power to stop the unnecessary and inhumane deaths of civilians in Gaza.
Liberty Victoria calls on the University of Melbourne to drop its disciplinary processes against students who have engaged in protest on university campuses.
There is a long and proud history of students being at the forefront of movements that we now consider to be positive, including women’s suffrage and the anti-Vietnam war movement.
