Australia does not have a bill or charter of rights, which means
there is no comprehensive law that enshrines human rights in
Australia - even though these laws are standard in the rest of the
developed world. So what does this mean for the rights of
Australian citizens? In this fully revised fourth edition of A
Charter of Rights for Australia, George Williams and Daniel
Reynolds show that human rights are not adequately protected in
Australia, contrary to what many of us think. Using some pressing
examples, they demonstrate how the rights of people at the margins
of our society are violated in often shocking ways. Several states
and territories have adopted their own charters of rights, or have
a charter well underway. This book's argument that the time has
come to adopt a charter at the federal level is more urgent than
ever. Sales Points George Williams is one of the foremost legal
commentators on the issue of a bill/charter of rights in Australia
- one prominent opponent, Janet Albrechtsen, called him the 'high
priest of the Bill of Rights movement'. Freedom of speech and human
rights of Australians have been prominent issues in the media -
anti-terror laws, abuses in the Northern Territory juvenile
corrections system, Indigenous deaths in custody, same-sex
marriage, section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, etc - so
this revised edition is timely. The movement for charters of rights
is growing, as evidenced by Victoria and the ACT implementing their
own state-based charters of rights. Lays out the arguments for and
against a charter of rights clearly and comprehensively.
