Q2 Response

According to the available information, the tradies protest in Australia on 27th of August 2024 is related to the forced administration of the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU).

The Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) is aware of protests planned to take place on this date. The FWO takes this opportunity to remind employees, employers and registered organisations of their obligations under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act), but it does not provide more information about the protest itself.

However, based on the overall context, it can be inferred that the protests are likely related to wage increases amid Australia’s cost-of-living crisis, as mentioned in other search results. The protesters may be demanding better working conditions and higher wages for tradies across the country.

The protest is planned in solidarity with the CFMEU after the union was placed into administration 8. Tens of thousands of tradies have protested against the cost of living around Australia, including a major strike action planned in Melbourne, with workers striking in solidarity with the CFMEU 15167. Tradies across Australia have called out the “big end of town” in mass demonstrations stoked by “white-hot anger over wage increase demands” 14.


Q3 Response

TThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on human rights worldwide, with various reports and studies highlighting the erosion of several fundamental rights. Human rights violations were widespread, including censorship and silencing of criticism , excessive use of police force , and restrictions on individual liberties .

The right to life and health was particularly affected, as governments implemented measures to contain the spread of the virus, which sometimes led to shortages of medical supplies and equipment . The pandemic also highlighted existing inequalities in access to healthcare, with marginalized communities often being disproportionately affected .

Freedom of expression and assembly were also curtailed, with many governments imposing restrictions on public gatherings and limiting freedom of speech . The pandemic accelerated the erosion of democratic fabric15, undermining the protection of human rights that ultimately depend on it.

However, some governments took steps to strengthen their human rights frameworks in response to the pandemic. For example, they framed restrictions on individual liberties within a human rights framework 10 and prioritized vulnerable populations’ support 11. The importance of integrating a human rights-based approach in response to COVID-19 was highlighted11, emphasizing the need for governments to balance public health measures with human rights considerations.

Overall, the pandemic exposed existing vulnerabilities in human rights protection and highlighted the need for governments to prioritize these fundamental rights in their responses to future crises.
