Kep Enderby was a founding member of the NSW Council Civil Liberties in 1963 and served as Vice President for a number of years. He was lifelong advocate for civil liberties and an active progressive force in Australian politics for decades. Kep had a distinguished career as lawyer and academic before being elected to the House of Representations of the Australian Parliament in 1970. He held a range of ministerial positions in the Whitlam Government from 1972 before becoming Attorney-General of Australia in 1975.

Kep worked tirelessly for progressive law reform. He decriminalised abortion and homosexuality in the ACT, as well as introducing legal aid and the Racial Discrimination Act. Family law was another active area for Kep, where he implemented no-fault divorce laws and established the Family Court of Australia.

This project recognises Kep's extraordinary contribution with the introduction of the Racial Discrimination Act.
