Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Australia does not have a bill or charter of rights, which means there is no comprehensive law that enshrines human rights in Australia - even though these laws are standard in the rest of the developed world. So what does this mean for the rights of Australian citizens? In this fully revised fourth edition of A Charter of Rights for Australia, George Williams and Daniel Reynolds show that human rights are not adequately protected in Australia, contrary to what many of us think. Using some pressing examples, they demonstrate how the rights of people at the margins of our society are violated in often shocking ways. Several states and territories have adopted their own charters of rights, or have a charter well underway. This book's argument that the time has come to adopt a charter at the federal level is more urgent than ever."

Book excerpt: "Australia is often cited as the only Western nation without a bill of rights. While this remains true at a national level, the states and territories have recently taken the running on developing local bills of rights. The ACT adopted a Human Rights Act in July 2004 and in 2006. Victoria enacted a Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities in January 2007. Tasmania has now moved formally to consider similar legislation. And Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales also seem likely to take this course. This book examines the significance and ramifications of these radical developments. It is the first to offer a comprehensive examination of this new form of legislation in Australia"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book A Minimalist Charter of Rights for Australia written by Rosalind Dixon and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively debate is currently occurring in Australia as to whether to adopt a comprehensive charter of rights at the national level, and if so, what form it should take. Two principal options are also under consideration, namely a charter modeled on the Human Rights Act 1998 (UK), or the Canadian Bill of Rights, SC 1960 c. 44 ('CBOR'). This article argues for the latter, Canadian-style model of statutory rights charter on the basis that, in substance, it involves the more minimalist form of constitutional change. Contrary to the current orthodoxy in Australia, the article suggests that a British-style charter directly undermines the likelihood that the Court will interpret statutes in a way that leaves scope for legislative response to court decisions, and therefore also the chances of maintaining the current balance between the High Court and Australian Parliament when it comes to the protection of individual rights. In Australia, this danger of statutory distortion will also be even more acute, it suggests given the doubts surrounding the constitutionality of the High Court's issuing, or hearing appeals against the grant of, certain UK-style weak-form remedies. By contrast, whether modeled on either the CBOR or the later more entrenched Canadian Charter, a Canadian-style rights model of strong judicial remedies is both more likely in the first place to deliver the 'true value' of statutes and also to be unaffected by the difficulties and doubts created by Ch III of the Constitution. Accordingly, it is also substantially less likely than a UK-style rights charter to lead to a form of de facto strong rather than weak or dialogic judicial review. On purely minimalist criteria, the article argues, a Canadian-style rights charter modeled on the CBOR therefore clearly dominates a British-style charter, so that if a British-style charter is to be defended as a preferred charter model in Australia, it cannot be on minimalist grounds alone.
Download or read book The Australian Charter of Employment Rights written by Mordy Bromberg and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:
The Australian Charter of Employment Rights is a blueprint for the future of industrial relations in Australia.
The Charter is a back-to-basics attempt to define the rights of workers and employers. It is a simply expressed contemporary document that draws upon international as well as uniquely Australian rights and values to create a set of rights and obligations which all workplaces are encouraged to adopt and observe. The Charter enables a critique of current labour laws and any proposals for change.
The Australian Charter of Employment Rights is the collaborative effort of seventeen of Australia’s leading IR practitioners, lawyers and economists, edited by Mordy Bromberg and Mark Irving. It is the initiative of the Australian Institute of Employment Rights, an independent tripartite body representing workers, employers and the public interest.
“The Charter of Australian Employment Rights leads the way for industrial relations in Australia – a way towards greater harmony and greater prosperity. It is a worthy objective, which can be achieved by employers and workers adopting a template for workplace fairness.”
Bob Hawke
Download or read book Protecting Rights Without a Bill of Rights written by Jeffrey Goldsworthy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia is now the only major Anglophone country that has not adopted a Bill of Rights. Since 1982 Canada, New Zealand and the UK have all adopted either constitutional or statutory bills of rights. Australia, however, continues to rely on common law, statutes dealing with specific issues such as racial and sexual discrimination, a generally tolerant society and a vibrant democracy. This book focuses on the protection of human rights in Australia and includes international perspectives for the purpose of comparison and it provides an examination of how well Australian institutions, governments, legislatures, courts and tribunals have performed in protecting human rights in the absence of a Bill of Rights.

Download or read book Australian Charters of Rights a Decade on written by Matthew Groves and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ACT Human Rights Act 2004 and the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006. These two statutes are closely modelled on international bills and charters of rights but Australia's unique legal framework makes them quite distinct. This book examines how these two "Australian Charters" have operated in their first decade. It explains their strengths and limits, and what lessons they can provide for other Australian jurisdictions.The book comprises two thematic parts. The first half explains the architecture of the two Australian Charters. What makes them distinct? What is their scope? How do they operate? The second half examines how the Australian Charters have been used by particular groups in society, such as prisoners, people with disability and women. Others show how the Charters have affected important social issues, such as freedom of expression and religious observance.The authors are a wide range of judges, practitioners and leading scholars. They bring a knowledge of the theory and practice of workings of the Australian Charters that is essential to everyone concerned with our rights.
