For all the talk of Australian values our rights as citizens and humans remain fragile | Julianne Schultz We remain the only liberal democracy not to have adopted its own constitutional or statutory bill of rights

‘If we give up on human intervention, the technocrats have won. There will be even less room for human rights in the world they are crafting in the name of efficiency & profit… It’s not a fight we can afford to lose.’
