Q2 Response

On August 27, 2024, tens of thousands of tradespeople (tradies) across Australia walked off their jobs to participate in a series of protests 1. The main reason for these rallies was the tradies’ support for the Construction Forestry Maritime Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), which had faced federal government intervention . The federal takeover of the CFMEU led to outrage in the construction industry, prompting workers to show solidarity through this widespread action .

The protests were not just limited to Melbourne, where a significant demonstration took place, but also extended to other major cities such as Sydney, Perth, Canberra, Adelaide, Cairns, and Brisbane . Workers expressed their discontent over the federal government’s actions by marching through city centers, causing notable disruption in urban areas .

Additionally, there were reports of potential wage deductions for construction workers participating in these protests, indicating that they were risking their pay to stand with the CFMEU . The specific issues at hand included labor rights and opposition to what participants saw as unjust government interference in union affairs . These events highlighted a significant moment in Australian labor history, where tradespeople collectively voiced their grievances against federal policies affecting their working conditions and representation .

Q3 Response

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on human rights globally, exposing systemic gaps in protection and undermining resilience. This has been particularly evident in how measures taken to control the virus affected individual liberties, access to medical care, public health, social and economic rights. There have also been concerns about the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable populations in Africa, affecting their health, human rights, structural vulnerability, and conditions of everyday life.

The pandemic has also revealed how human rights shortcomings can undermine pandemic preparedness and response. It highlighted the need for equity in treating health as a global public good and the importance of creating new legal instruments grounded in rights and equity. Human rights have been neglected during the pandemic, especially concerning mental health, with those suffering from poor mental health at higher risk of human rights abuses and COVID-19 infection and death.

Governments’ responses to the crisis have also come under scrutiny. Amnesty International has monitored these responses closely to ensure they are in line with human rights law despite the extraordinary times. It is clear that a human rights-based approach was crucial for effective pandemic response, emphasizing the importance of framing restrictions on individual liberties within legal parameters and ensuring proportionality and necessity.

In summary, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a wide-ranging impact on human rights, affecting various aspects of people’s lives and highlighting existing vulnerabilities in global health systems and rights protection frameworks. This necessitates a robust response grounded in respect for human rights to ensure better outcomes both during pandemics and beyond.
