Written by camilla on July 14, 2010

Are you sick of being harassed by people knocking at your door wanting you to change energy contracts?
Have you copped a fine from one of those private car parks that says you need a ticket to park for free?
Have you ever borrowed money from Cash Converters or a pay day lender and couldn’t pay it back because the interest rates were too high?
All these questions and more we will address in our consumer law special… joining us on Done by Law tonight is Zac Gillam, Senior Policy Officer at Consumer Action to tell us everything you’ve ever wanted to know about your consumer rights, how you can protect yourself and what Consumer Action is doing about these issues.

Everyday People, Everyday Rights

Written by Julia on June 22, 2010

The term human rights is talked about a lot these days, but do you know how human rights are relevant to you on a practical day to day basis? On todays show we will be talking with Jessie Lees from the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission about a human rights project that she is coordinating called Everyday People, Everyday Rights. It is a joint program between the VEOHRC and the Neighbourhood Justice Centre that brings together City of Yarra residents, business owners and local agencies to plan 10 human rights focused meetings with the local community.

DBL: Social media and your rights at work: 8 June 2010

Written by camilla on June 15, 2010

You’re home from work, you kick off your shoes, and your working day, along with your responsibilities to your employer, are over for the day.  Or so you think.  But with the advent of social media and the ‘broadcast yourself’ world of online publishing, your after-hours activities can be more easily tracked by your employer and also leave you open to public scrutiny.

What you do in your own time can get you sacked but the risks are higher in the online world, as demonstrated by the recent case of Catherine Deveny, who was terminated by the Age for her controversial twittering at the Logies.

Tonight on Done by Law we are joined by Zana Bytheway, Executive Director of Jobwatch, to remind us that being facebook friends with your boss may not be a good idea and to shed some light on exactly what you can and can’t be terminated for.

SMART JUSTICE CAMPAIGN: 11 MAY 2010

Written by camilla on May 11, 2010

Ah, election season: when it seems that only ‘Law and Order’ is on the menu and being ‘tough on crime’ is the daily mantra.  But do the measures offered by politicians, such as more police and more prisons, really make our communities safer?  Are the politicians really offering us policies that will lower crime or do they risk making things worse for everyone?
Enter the ‘Smart Justice’ campaign, spearheaded by the Federation of Community Legal Centres, which is about to be relaunched at the end of May.  The campaign is designed to promote criminal justice policies that are effective, evidence-based and human rights compliant.
Tonight on Done By Law, we speak to Hugh de Kretser, Executive Officer of the Federation of Community Legal Centres, to discuss the smart justice campaign and do a bit of myth busting about crime in Victoria and how to really make our communities more safe.
