Rights on Time

Travel through time with 7 leading Australians as they debate future human rights dilemmas and tussle over how a Human Rights Act would protect people and communities in a hypothetical – but entirely possible – 2034.

Join timekeeper and sleek geek Adam Spencer as he corrals a compelling lineup of legal eagles, rights advocates, media personalities and comedy stars who’ll challenge and cajole each other – as well as the audience – to either save the future or let rights go wrong.

You'll hear the arguments, jibes and jests live on stage before you cast your virtual vote on a Human Rights Act for Australia.
