Does Australia need a Bill of Rights?
Does Australia need a Bill of Rights? Paper presented by the Hon Michael McHugh AO QC, former Justice of the High Court of Australia, on 8 August 2007 to members of the NSW Bar Association.
“The debate about an Australian Bill of Rights can no longer be considered simply an academic or abstract debate in a country that already boasts an exemplary human rights record. In light of current deficiencies it is, instead, increasingly becoming a debate that holds great practical significance for all Australians.”
