Australia does not have a national bill or charter of rights and looks further away than ever from adopting one. But it does have a range of individual elements sourced from common law, statute and the Constitution which, though unsystematic, do provide Australians with some meaningful rights protection. This book outlines and explains the unique human rights journey of Australia. It moves beyond the criticisms long made of the Australian position – that its ‘formalism’, ‘legalism’ and ‘exceptionalism’ compromise its capacity for rights protection – to consider how the many elements of its novel legal structure operate. This book analyses the interlocking legal framework for the protection of rights in Australia. A key theme of the book is that the many different elements of a fragmented scheme can add up to something significant, albeit with significant gaps and flaws like any other legal rights protection framework. It shows how the jumbled influences of a common law heritage, a written constitution, differing paths taken by jurisdictions within a single federal state, statutory and common law innovations and a strong dose of comparative legal influences have led to the unique patchwork of rights protection in Australia. It will provide valuable reading for all those researching in human rights, constitutional and comparative law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eRights, Rhetoric and Reality: An Overview of Rights Protection in Australia \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eMatthew Groves, Janina Boughey and Dan Meagher\u003c\/b\u003e 2. \u003ci\u003eAustralia’s Constitutional Design and the Protection of Human Rights \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eGeorge Williams\u003c\/b\u003e 3. \u003ci\u003eChapter III of the \u003c\/i\u003eConstitution \u003ci\u003eand the Protection of Due Process Rights \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eAnthony Gray\u003c\/b\u003e 4. \u003ci\u003eThe High Court’s Implied Rights Experiment \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eTony Blackshield\u003c\/b\u003e 5. \u003ci\u003eThe Reception of International Law in Constitutional Litigation – The \u003c\/i\u003eAl-Kateb \u003ci\u003eBattle and its Aftermath \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eAdam Fletcher\u003c\/b\u003e 6. \u003ci\u003eInternational Law, Administrative Powers and Human Rights: The Legacy of \u003c\/i\u003eTeoh  \u003cb\u003eMatthew Groves\u003c\/b\u003e 7. \u003ci\u003eThe Australian Human Rights Commission \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eEdward Santow\u003c\/b\u003e 8. \u003ci\u003eThe Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011 (Cth): A Failed Human Rights Experiment? \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eLisa Burton Crawford\u003c\/b\u003e 9. \u003ci\u003eThe Nature and Limitations of Commonwealth Anti-Discrimination Law \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eColin Campbell\u003c\/b\u003e 10. \u003ci\u003e‘Culture, What Culture?’ Why We Don’t Know if the ACT Human Rights Act is Working \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eSimon Rice\u003c\/b\u003e 11. \u003ci\u003eThe Victorian Charter: A Slow Start or Fundamentally Flawed? \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eJanina Boughey\u003c\/b\u003e 12. \u003ci\u003eInternational Human Rights Treaties and Institutions in the Protection of Human Rights in Australia\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eMadelaine Chiam\u003c\/b\u003e 13. \u003ci\u003eThe Recognition and Protection of Indigenous Rights \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eEdward Synot and Dylan Lino\u003c\/b\u003e 14. \u003ci\u003eFederalism, Public Interest Advocacy and Marriage Equality in Australia \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eGabrielle Appleby and Adam Webster\u003c\/b\u003e 15. \u003ci\u003eFreedom of Religion \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eNicholas Aroney and Benjamin B Saunders\u003c\/b\u003e 16. \u003ci\u003eA Fair Trial for Accused Terrorists \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eRebecca Ananian-Welsh\u003c\/b\u003e 17. \u003ci\u003eA Search for Rights: Judicial and Administrative Responses to Migration and Refugee Cases \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eEmma Dunlop, Jane McAdam and Greg Weeks\u003c\/b\u003e 18. \u003ci\u003eProportionality and the New Postwar Juridical Paradigm: A Challenge to Australian Exceptionalism? \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eShipra Chordia\u003c\/b\u003e 19. \u003ci\u003eA Common Law Bill of Rights \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eDan Meagher\u003c\/b\u003e 20. \u003ci\u003eAgainst a Constitutional Bill of Rights in Australia \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eJeffrey Goldsworthy\u003c\/b\u003e 21. \u003ci\u003eDesigning an Australian Bill of Rights: The Normative Trade-offs \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eScott Stephenson\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52090975781207,"sku":"9781509919833","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781509919833.jpg?v=1762273921","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-legal-protection-of-rights-in-australia-9781509919833","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
