We are honoured and proud to have had the privilege of working with Chris Hayes MP. Chris is a visionary campaigner and embodies the very best of Australian society and politics. His commitment and tireless work to advance human rights and advocate for those who face disadvantage, including those on death rows abroad, is truly inspiring. Chris has successfully co-chaired the Parliamentarians' Against the Death Penalty - a cross-party group that has been so impactful in advocating for abolition of the death penalty and in assisting individuals at risk of execution and extra-judicial killing. We look forward to continuing to work together Chris Hayes MP and please know that your work has left a lasting positive legacy.
