Today I announce the establishment of a Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Group on the Implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, adopted unanimously by the Human Rights Council in 2011, are a set of guidelines for States and companies to prevent, address and remedy human rights abuses committed in business operations.

Bishop's bureaucracy was set up to do this:

The Advisory Group will provide expert advice to support government and business to work together to improve human rights, including a review of existing laws, policies and best practices relevant to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

First item on its agenda is to review Australian laws, policies and "best practices" alongside the UN's guiding principles on business and human rights.

Who in their right mind would commit their business to this?
