The September gathering of the Hot Topics crew discussed the role of older people in addressing climate change. Bev Lee led the discussion working from material provided by John Lloyd, who was unable to be with us. It was generally agreed we all have a role to play.

The second half raised the need or otherwise for a Bill or Charter of Human Rights for Australia. This led with a video of the lecture 'The Case for a Charter of Human Rights in Australia' by Gillian Triggs, former President of the Human Rights Commission. (Dean's Lecture Series,The University of Melbourne, 23 July 2018).
A heated discussion followed with the group agreeing to disagree on the subject.
At our next gathering of Hot Topics we will look at the forward planning for Benalla – what does the future hold and what is our role in that future? Hoping to see you there on Friday October 19th at 1.30pm.
