Birth Certificate Law Reform Briefing

Liberty Victoria, in conjunction with Ashlea Johnson - a transgender Melbourne woman - fully support amendments to the law to allow transgender, gender diverse and intersex Victorians to record their preferred gender on their birth certificates. 
We provided this briefing paper to provide background to the issue, and a summary of the basis on which we support the reforms.  Liberty Victoria is delighted that the reforms have passed.

Contempt of Court Consultation Paper

We have had the opportunity to consider the detailed submission of the Criminal Bar Association of Victoria, and we respectfully endorse it and its recommendations. In particular, we endorse the submission that there should be fault elements that must be proved to establish breaches of prohibitions and restrictions on publication under the law of contempt, the Judicial Proceedings Reports Act and the Open Courts Act (see paragraph 55, 68 and 106 of the Criminal Bar Association’s Submissions).
