CLArion March โ26: Push ramps up as deadline nears
Australia may be only months away from a Bill of rights โ a Human Rights Act โ being tabled in the Australian Parliament, to operate from late 2027. The Albanese government plans a massive ‘civics ย and social cohesionโ education program from next year. To underpin the rhetoric and propaganda, a Human Rights Act is mandatory to give citizens practical powers to enforce their responsibilities and rights as Australians they will learn about. A law which binds politicians, bureaucrats and people to โfair goโ principles in all dealings with each other is the critical link to a better society, missing since the Constitution was drafted 130 years ago.

More Australians than ever before support a โbill of rightsโ โ officially a legislated Human Rights Act โ for the nation. Some 76% do (up 3%) in the latest survey (results announced publicly soon). Meanwhile, the worldโs nations, through the UN, have called on the Australian government to implement widespread social justice reforms, including a national HRA. Doing so would give us the โfair goโ we all want, and guarantee the right to free speech, which Australians currently do NOT have in legislation or in the Constitution.ย
