The last two years have seen significant changes in the way government and individual citizens interact - ways that would have been unimaginable before the pandemic took hold.

Lockdowns, curfews and closed borders became a part of everyday life, as did emergency legislation generally. But many have questioned the way in which these extraordinary measures fit into our system of government, including their interaction with human rights, and the nature of human rights protection in NSW and Australia.

On Monday 4 April, our first Thought Leadership panel for 2022, led by Professor George Williams AO, explored the impact of the pandemic on human rights in NSW,  considering the longer-term implications for citizens, lawyers, and governments alike.
