Unlike the States, we in Australia do not have a bill of rights. Our rights come from English Common Law which has, over the past few decades, been watered down by the bleeding left lawyers.

Unbelieveably in this day and age we don't even have the right to defend ourselves, our family or our property. Any defence of the above can land you in Court to explain yourself to a magistrate.

The magistrate then has the benefit of hindsight and minutes to determine, why you had to take the action you did, to defend any or all of the above in which you may have had only seconds to react.

It is usually a no win situation for you, the defendant!

This is patently wrong and needs to be redressed urgently.

Australia needs a Bill of Rights to bolster our very ambiguous Constitution which the politicians have been playing with over the years to further their own political agendas. That Bill, I would suggest, could contain the right to bear arms and the right to defend yourself, your family and your property! Terry

Thanks for the link back.

That would be great Terry, there are certain elements in Australia pushing for a bill of rights. But then i heard no mention about the right to bear arms in there. Lefties, so i guess why would they allow such a thing, even though they're always banging on about rights and freedom, go figure.

MK....I am a retired cop. I was looking forward to just putting my feet up for the rest of my life and doing what I felt like doing.

But no....couldn't have that could I! Especially now that I have been made aware of what really is happening in ALL western countries via the Lefties and the Islamists.

What has been happening to our societies, over the past thirty odd years, is nothing short of subversive treason by groups of hand wringers who would have us believe that the ills of the modern world have all been caused by Western society!

Any observer of our current political system has to arrive at the conclusion that:

All main parties are now stuck in their own ideologies and pay scant attention to the electorate until voting time. This self enforced isolationism from the people, only reinforces arrogance. A good example of this is the current NSW government. This arrogance has fostered some really silly policies, the all time stand out being Multiculturalism.

Our present Constitution is at best ambiguous and needs to be tightened up and bolstered with a Bill of Rights. What that Bill could contain should be left up to the people in a referendum. I would certainly be one for the right to bear arms, as it is now after the Port Arthur massacre, only the law abiding citizen is unarmed and therefore at the mercy of societies predators and any would be invader!

The Islamists, through multiculti and political correct policies, are slowly chipping away our resistance to them, through their ideology and terrorism tactics. Most Aussies are aware that there is a problem with this group of people, but at present, most people have yet to figure out the magnitude of that problem.

So, I have joined up with the Australian Protectionist Party(APP)In my spare time I letterbox membership leaflets and try to make those persons that I come into contact with aware of our very real danger. The APP is not a leftist party and at this time a Bill of Rights has not been mooted as one of it's platforms. However I will push for a Bill, because I sincerly believe we must have one, not only for our own protection as individuals but also to protect our sovereignity as a nation.

This is an excellent blog, and you will continue to hear from me. Terry

I understand the sentiments expressed here in favour of a Bill of Rights for our nation- it is true there are some holes in our Constitution and those wishing to betray our People are having a field day.

However, I don't believe a Bill would rectify that and would rather some careful changes be offered to Australians in the form of a referendum.

A Bill of Rights would not be a guarantor of our rights, the right to self defence, bear arms,to speak out against religious practices and political beliefs we find offensive.To speak out against sodomy, to protect marriage, to express opposition to polygamy, female circumcision, or abortion could be interpreted as contravention of another's "human rights" and land you in prison.

Now, which religion and political persuasion would more than likely speak out against the issues listed above?

No, a Bill would (and I think we all know this) be railroaded by the same social engineering, global village loving lefties to be used as a tool to silence those opposed to multiculturalism and national destruction.

Religious schools would not be able to discriminate against sodomites when employing teachers-another contravention of their right to find employment without discrimination....

Personally, I support the right to self defence, the right of responsible citizens to own a firearm, the right of association and freedom of speech. However, in a nation that has had a string of successive governments stripping us of our sovereignty, the ridiculous gun buy back through which only decent law abiding people handed in their guns- do you really think these "people" are going to put through a Bill of Rights that will protect YOU?

Sorry guys, I wish it were so.
