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?

Subject Area

Human Rights Law
