Towards an Australian Bill of Rights
Files
Description
The debate on the need for a Bill of Rights is one of the most important in contemporary Australia. While the subject is still controversial it appears clear that there has recently been a growing acceptance that such a development is necessary to protect certain fundamental human rights—rights which are either inadequately protected by existing constitutional or legislative provisions, or the protection of which is subject to considerable uncertainty. This collection of articles represents a timely and important contribution to t a debate which must continue—and ultimately produce results. It is beyond question that our current legal system is seriously inadequate in protecting many of the rights of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in our community.
