This book is a contemporary socio-legal study of Australia's
protection of economic and social rights. Despite Australia's
hortatory language of compliance with international rights
standards, its translation of these standards into domestic law and
policy has been found wanting. In considering Australia's
compliance across the policy areas of health, housing, labour and
social security, it is argued that Australia's failings can be
understood in terms of its institutional framework. This framework
provides incomplete legal protection for rights and leaves that
protection almost exclusively in the realm of politics and
policymaking, an arena still dominated by neoliberalism and a
political culture averse to the protection and promotion of
economic and social rights.
