This book addresses the key debates surrounding human rights in Australia: Should Australia adopt a bill of rights in an 'age of terror'? How well protected are workers' rights? The Politics of Human Rights in Australia shows that Australians enjoy only a loose and incomplete safety net of rights protection.
Through investigating the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, students will explore how these groups experienced democracy and citizenship. Using the key concept of continuity and change, students will examine how discrimination and racism impacted on ethnic and cultural groups and the ways in which individuals and groups fought for their rights.
The purposes of this Report are to: " Stimulate and inform public discussion about alternatives to Australia's current approach to third country processing, Explore human rights-based responses to the flight of asylum seekers by sea to meet international standards of humanity and protection, Propose pathways to durable solutions for asylum seekers" -- page 1.
