"The Listen to Children Report finds that despite ratifying the Convention [United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child] in 1991, Australia has not effectively incorporated human rights into policy and legislative frameworks ... Instead, successive governments have perpetuated a traditional welfare approach to children's wellbeing ... Unfortunately, the consequences of this approach are unacceptable gaps in the legal protection of children's rights in Australia ... This report is a comprehensive overview of Australia's performance in relation to each article of the convention." (Quoted from paper)
