Update - Federal 'Charter of Rights'

The Rudd government is yet to make a response to the Brennan Inquiry report into whether Australia should have a 'Charter of Rights' or a 'Human Rights Act'.

The Consultation recommended a 'Charter of Rights' or a 'Human Rights Act' as well as a large number of legislative and administrative changes which it claims will 'protect human rights'.

We totally oppose a 'Charter of Rights' or a 'Human Rights Act'.

Time to act...

It's time to write to all our federal MPs and Senators and tell them we DON'T WANT a 'Charter of Rights' or a 'Human Rights Act' and that we oppose the recommendations of the Brennan Consultation on Human Rights.
