Ms Estela Vidal:

I agree with that. I would be excited to see a much stronger focus on human rights in the new legislation. We are aware there have been many different narratives at this table and now the committee has the hard work of making sense of all of them. The truth and the best approach always lies in between all of that. The committee has the hard work of selecting what to bring forward and what to leave behind. A very strong message from Shine and from the people who use our services is the importance of that human rights base because it protects their rights as persons.

To give an example of that, we had a powerful testimony from a person who spent quite some time in treatment in an inpatient facility. She said when she was in that facility she was not feeling well. Patients' self-esteem is low, they do not have their stuff, they do not have their friends, and then they are asked to be in a queue to collect their medication. She said how different it would have been had somebody come to her in a private space to bring her that medication. That is what this is about, that change in the approach to the person. That is going to happen in the little things and of course in the bigger things such as legislation. That is what I am excited about.
