A Bill of Rights for AustraliaIn this book legal commentator George Williams argues that more can be done to protect the fundamental rights of the Australian people. He looks at the limited rights Australians do have, and at the arguments for and against a Bill of Rights. Adopting a fresh approach to the problem, he lays out a pragmatic and achievable way for Australian parliaments to work with the community to better protect individual liberty from potential government interference. |
