Dead Parrot

Bob Carr on a statutory Bill of Rights.

A Bill of Rights is more likely to be an attack on human rights. The right to free speech would no doubt be constrained by the right of select groups not to be offended.

A constitutional Bill of Rights which enshrined freedom of speech, due process and the equality before the law would be a fine thing. No such thing is presently contemplated.
