THE HON John von Doussa QC has been appointed acting Sex Discrimination Commissioner of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission.

“As the current president of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission and a former Federal Court Judge, [von Doussa] is extremely well qualified to act in the position,” he said.
