Human Rights for Australia Human Rights Commission Monograph Series No. 1 Human Rights for Australia A survey of literature and developments, and a select and annotated bibliography of recent literature in Australia and abroad Alice Erh-Soon Tay Challis Professor of Jurisprudence in the University of Sydney Australian Government Publishing Service Canberra 1986 C Commonwealth of Australia 1986 ISBN for Monograph Series. 0 644 03677 X ISBN for this volume: 0 644 03432 7 Prepared with the assistance of Adrian Diethelm Andrew Frazer Eugene Kamenka Sheila McGregor David Mason Gabriel Moens Roma Sadurska Roger Wilkins Professor A. E-S. Tay, as author, takes responsibility for the opinions expressed in the Survey and other prefatory material. They do not necessarily reflect those of the Human Rights Commission or the Australian Government or the views of those who have assisted her in preparing the material. Published in the International Year of Peace Typeset by Graphicset Pty Ltd Mitcham Victoria Printed by Watson Ferguson and Co., Brisbane Foreword This is the first volume in the Human Rights Commission's Monograph Series. The Series is designed to include publications under the auspices of the Commission which have the status of a major research project and which, in the view of the Commission, are likely to form a continuing source of reference. It is intended that the Commission Monographs will cover a wide range of topics reflecting the Commission's interests and will contribute to better understanding and acceptance of human rights in Australia. At present there is no comprehensive survey of human rights literature which has an Australian focus. Nor is there a bibliography, including a graded set of reference items, that provides a satisfactory guide to the literature dealing with human rights of particular concern to the Commission. By bibliography is meant here both a comprehensive and annotated listing of works to which reference should be made in the study of human rights and the indexing framework which guides the reader or researcher to relevant material. This first Monograph is a significant and practical contribution to human rights research. It sets the discussion of human rights in a worldwide and Australian frame and it provides a means of locating relevant publications, particularly of Australian origin. The Commission hopes the Survey and the Bibliography will encourage reading and research, and will be glad to receive comments on either aspect of the Monograph. It intends later to publish revised editions of the Bibliography. The views that may be expressed or implied in the Monograph Series are not necessarily those of the Human Rights Commission and should not be identified with it or them. iii Contents Foreword Preface ix PART ONE: SURVEY OF LITERATURE AND DEVELOPMENTS 1.

Table of cases 350 Index (to Part One only) 352 Preface The strong commitment of successive Australian Governments to the promotion of human rights, exemplified in a growing body of legislation and in the creation and increased status and activity of the Human Rights Commission, has been accompanied by widespread public, political and academic discussion of the general principles and detailed problems of safeguarding and developing human rights. The discussion of principles and problems has been vigorous and international in scope; so have increasingly urgent demands by individuals and groups for protection of their rights. There is now planning of human rights curricula and the development of a human rights course for schools, a further extension of human rights courses in tertiary institutions and much legislative activity and popular and institutional involvement in the securing of human rights. An Australian Bill of Rights is in preparation. The Human Rights Commission itself is active in an increasing number of areas, conducting hearings and inquiries, receiving and investigating specific complaints, issuing reports tabled in Parliament, occasional papers, discussion papers, leaflets in a multiplicity of languages and a newsletter, and examining existing and proposed enactments. Knowledge has always been a necessary prerequisite for rational and effective action. The literature on human rights, in Australia and abroad, has grown enormously in recent years. It is both descriptive and evaluative; it summarises the situation (or situations in different countries and regimes); it assesses policies; it discusses very general principles. Increasingly in recent years, critical assessment arises from and remains intimately linked with detailed legislative enactments or proposals. One of the tasks specifically assigned to the Human Rights Commission was that of promoting understanding and acceptance of human rights in Australia and, to this end, of undertaking research and educational programmes. In consequence, in June 1982 the Commission asked me to prepare a select bibliography, with annotations, of recent literature on human rights published in Australia or especially relevant to Australia — for the human rights movement is by its very nature an international concern and part of an international discussion. The Bibliography was to be introduced by a Survey summarising and assessing that literature. The task, both demanding and rewarding, was much too great for one person to do alone. The Commission generously provided assistance, as did the Department of Jurisprudence in the University of Sydney and the History of Ideas

  • The Racial Discrimination Act: a 40 Year Perspective Inaugural Kep Enderby Lecture
    The Racial Discrimination Act: A 40 Year Perspective Inaugural Kep Enderby Lecture Chief Justice Robert French AC 22 October 2015, Sydney Introduction Keppel Earl Enderby QC, who died on 8 January 2015 at the age of 88, was a dedicated servant of the Australian people. He was a libertarian and a law reformer. In 1975, as Attorney-General for the Commonwealth, he introduced into the Parliament the Bill that became the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) ('RDA').

He was educated at the Dubbo High School. He served with the RAAF as a trainee pilot in 1944 and 1945 and gained a law degree from Sydney University in 1950. He went to the United Kingdom for a few years where he married and had two children. He returned to New South Wales and took up practice at the Bar there in 1955. In 1962, he was appointed as a lecturer in law at the Australian National University. In Canberra he met his second wife, Dorothy, a university librarian. He recommenced practicing law in Canberra in 1966 and became an active member of the Australian Labor Party. He was appointed Queens Counsel in 1973. Kep Enderby was elected to the House of Representatives representing the Australian Capital Territory from 1970 to 1974 and the new seat of Canberra from 1974 to 1975.

    A Double Agent Down Under: Australian Security and the Infiltration of the Left This is the Published version of the following publication Deery, Phillip (2007) A Double Agent Down Under: Australian Security and the Infiltration of the Left. Intelligence and National Security, 22 (3). pp. 346-366. ISSN 0268-4527 (Print); 1743-9019 (Online) The publisher’s official version can be found at Note that access to this version may require subscription. Downloaded from VU Research Repository https://vuir.vu.edu.au/15470/ A Double Agent Down Under: Australian Security and the Infiltration of the Left PHILLIP DEERY Because of its clandestine character, the world of the undercover agent has remained murky. This article attempts to illuminate this shadowy feature of intelligence operations. It examines the activities of one double agent, the Czech-born Maximilian Wechsler, who successfully infiltrated two socialist organizations, in the early 1970s. Wechsler was engaged by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. However, he was ‘unreliable’: he came in from the cold and went public. The article uses his exposés to recreate his undercover role. It seeks to throw some light on the recruitment methods of ASIO, on the techniques of infiltration, on the relationship between ASIO and the Liberal Party during a period of political volatility in Australia, and on the contradictory position of the Labor Government towards the security services. In the post-Cold War period the role of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) no longer arouses the visceral hostility it once did from the Left. The collapse of communism found ASIO in search of a new raison d’étre.

  • Asian Discourses of Rule of Law: Theories and Implementation of Rule of Law in Twelve Asian Countries, France and the U.S
    ASIAN DISCOURSES OF RULE OF LAW Rule of law is one of the pillars of the modern world, and widely considered necessary for sustained economic development, the implementation of democracy and the protection of human rights. It has, however, emerged in Western liberal democracies, and some people question how far it is likely to take root fully in the different cultural, economic and political context of Asia. This book considers how rule of law is viewed and implemented in Asia. Chapters on France and the USA provide a benchmark on how the concept has evolved, is applied and is implemented in a civil law and a common law jurisdiction. These are then followed by 12 chapters on the major countries of East Asia, and India, which consider all the key aspects of this important issue. Randall Peerenboom is a Professor of Law at UCLA Law School. He obtained a B.A. in Philosophy, M.A. in Chinese Religion and Ph.D. in Philosophy before obtaining a J.D. from Columbia Law School. He has written extensively on Chinese law and philosophy, including China’s Long March toward Rule of Law (2002). From 1994 to 1998, he practiced law with a major international law firm in Beijing. In addition to advising on various aspects of foreign investment in China, he often serves as an expert witness on PRC legal issues and is Of Counsel at Yiwen Law Firm.

  • Download ACT Chapter
    Chapter 11 – Australian Capital Territory Expanding freedom from the centre outwards It seems axiomatic that a strong civil liberties group should flourish in the nation’s capital. Unfortunately, the 20th century story of Canberra groups was rather rocky. From the late 1960s, one group formed and lasted about seven years, then went through a ‘hibernation’. Six years later, calls for a new group resulted in that original group emerging from its deep sleep. Version 2 lasted nearly 20 years, but it too died. Another, and quite separate, group formed in the ACT in 2003, subsequently going Australia-wide. It is now the leading national civil liberties entity. The groups, with confusing names, are: • the Council for Civil Liberties ACT (CCLACT, operated from 1968 to about mid-1970s); • the same body, CCLACT, was re-born in 1982 and lasted to about 2001; • Civil Liberties Australia (originally with ‘ACT’ at the end of its name) was born in 2003, and is ongoing: see CLA chapter). The Humanist Society sponsored a public meeting in September 1968, to form a council for civil liberties in the ACT, and to call for legal aid for citizens. We know the time and date from a newspaper clipping sourced through the National Library of Australia’s Trove service (photo right). We also know that Humanist Societies interstate and the main east coast councils for civil liberties (in Victoria and NSW) were at that time moving to form groups in the other states: certainly Tasmania and WA bodies began to operate from about that time. In the ACT, in the same week of the local formation, Labor members of the ACT Advisory Council1 decided to call for the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights to be made law in the ACT, and the ACT ALP Electorate Council announced support for the formation 1 There was no local government then - the federal parliament ‘ruled’ over Canberra and the ACT Civil Liberties in Australia: Ch 11 – Australian Capital Territory !1 of a council for civil liberties2.

  • Address by Sir David Smith Kcvo. Ao Sunday 7/11/2004
    ADDRESS BY SIR DAVID SMITH KCVO. AO SUNDAY 7/11/2004 SENATE CHAMBER 12.30 PM-1.30PM 1HR 3:6 OPH OHI 83 Kate Cowie: The presentation by Sir David Smith. It’s wonderful to have him here today. He’s been an official secretary to Five Governor-Generals. An amazing career as a public servant and were very pleased to have him here today to talk about one of the most amazing events that happened in this building, the dismissal. So I will leave you in David’s capable hands. Thank you. Probably no event in Australia’s political history has received as much coverage in the media and the history books as the dismissal of the Whitlam government by the Governor-General on the 11th November 1975, and certainly so event in Australia’s political history has had received so much inaccurate and misleading coverage. As for Mr Whitlam himself there has grown up around him almost an entire industry devoted to polishing his image and a legend in his own lifetime. As we approach yet another anniversary of that day it’s time we had a look at the basis of that legendary image. Whitlam and others have described the events of 11th November 1975 as a coup, but it was nothing of the kind. A coup is defined as a violent or illegal change of government but the events of that day were neither violent nor illegal. A change of government was in accordance with the letter, the conventions and the spirit of the Australian Constitution and no one knows that better than Whitlam himself.
