Royal Commissions play an important, but often overlooked, role in Australia's accountability and public policy frameworks. They conduct independent, detailed inquiries into some of the most important and often controversial social issues facing society including, recently, Robodebt, the treatment of People with Disability, Aged Care, and the Banking sector.
In this seminar, three experts (The Honourable Ronald Sackville AO KC, Dominique Hogan-Doran SC and Dr Scott Prasser) will discuss the impact and effectiveness of Royal Commissions, when they are an appropriate public policy tool, and governments' track records in implementing their recommendations.
This online seminar (via Zoom) is hosted by the UNSW Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law and the Australian Institute of Administrative Law (NSW).
