Following the comments regarding the cost-benefit approach to valuing human lives in times of crises by Professor Peter Collignon AM during an ABC Radio Canberra on Wednesday 30 October 2024, Advocacy for Inclusion has approached both the Australian National University as well as Canberra Health Services to clarify whether such comments represent and reflect their positions, practices and values. AFI has noted their unique institutional positions and role in upholding and modelling the human rights values espoused in the ACT. We would appreciate any statements or actions these institutions are prepared to take in response to this incident.
