Abstract
Until recently, Australia was immersed in a national debate on whether to adopt a Bill of Rights. My job is to take a step back and to assess whether, given the Rudd government’s decision not to proceed with such a law, there is life yet in the idea.
I will cover: 1. A snapshot of the Bill of Rights debate to the current day. 2. Has the debate reached the end of the road? 3. If not, what might come next?
