1. 2012 Costello Lecture
Protecting public housing tenants in Australia from forced eviction: the fundamental importance of the human right to housing and home
Speaker Monash alumnus, The Honourable Justice Kevin Bell (BA 1976, LLB (Hons) 1978).
Introduced by Tim Costello AO (BJuris 1976, LLB 1978, Dip Ed 1979), CEO, World Vision Australia.
The tenure of most public housing tenants in Australia is precarious and can be terminated without cause. There is talk of moving some tenants on, raising the spectre of forced eviction. In that context, this lecture examines the fundamental importance of the human right to housing and home.
Justice Bell was appointed to the Supreme Court of Victoria in February 2005. He sits in all of the divisions of the court, including the Court of Appeal, and has conducted major civil and criminal jury trials.

Time: 6 – 7.15 pm
Venue: Monash University Law Chambers 555 Lonsdale St, Melbourne
