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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Legal Protection of Rights in Australia\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt will provide valuable reading for all those researching in human rights, constitutional and comparative law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471803269356,"sku":"9781509952151","price":98.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509952151-the-legal-protection-of-rights-in-australia.jpg?v=1775255578","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-legal-protection-of-rights-in-australia-9781509952151","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
