The Federal Parliament and the Protection of Human Rights

The constitutional protection and entrenchment of human rights versus statutory protection (Bill of Rights) is discussed. "The Federal Parliament has a central role to play in the protection of the basic rights of the Australian people. To date, this role has not been fully realised. While the Parliament has enacted important legislation such as the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cwlth), and its committees ... no statute lists the core rights attached to Australian citizenship. Neither does the Australian Constitution protect the basic rights of the Australian people." (Quoted from site) (The paper is only available through the link)
