An American style Bill will not make muster here, guaranteed. Particularly say second Amendment (right to bear arms), fundamentally I don't have a problem with that US 'right'. (I also support a states right to militarise its police forces - vis a paramilitary, as a hedge against potential federal threat and insofar its desire to assume authority over state sovereign Constitutional power and affairs, AND against another state).
The Magna Carta has a place in Australia's sovereign states, as does the 1688 Bill Of Rights, but in a couple of court cases, one going back to 1905, and a couple more recent, have seen the high court allow parliaments to pass legislation contrary to each of these two hisorically important 'protections'.
Victoria's Bill Of Rights, is leftist written porridge, it supports garbage like multiculturalisim that countries like Germany have recently been ridding itself of. (Doesn't work). It is subservient to UN Convention, and lets face it - because we (Australia) 'contract' many UN Conventions; any national one will be as well!
Our Australian Constitution is often paid mere lip service by Canberra and some state parliaments, and then duly ignored as the 'reformer' see's fit. Its weak - in that it gave us the right to do or say almost anything that didn't fall foul of part of it, OR if a government passed legislation that in some way restricted 'freedom'.
Our elected MP's take either an oath or affirmation to uphold it and our inherited rights. So many of these activists set about removing vestiges of monarchy (pictures, rods, seals etc).
A lot of anger in AUS, I can see much more in the years ahead arising from tjhe ongoing PC 'reformist' agenda, from 'issues' arising like the republic, flag, heritage and identity etc.
This thread is one example of the ongoing clamp on your daily life abilities, albiet in SA in this case.
Tic tic tic as they say. (Rem; if you start framing "rights" in these modern times- you risk very much, invariably limiting freedom).
