It concludes as follows:
"[In the future], we should see a proportionate and evidence-based response to a public health issue by a Government which is acutely aware and continually reminded of its human rights obligations. The AHRC should be a key party in advising on and overseeing this plan. In that way, we may see a Government response which does not marginalise and demonise citizens who simply see things differently to whoever is in power at the time, and who make a decision pursuant to their own sovereign individuality as a result. Sovereignty, as per the ICCPR, is the bedrock of human rights."
