Paying for the comfort of dogma

The argument against the desirability of a Bill of Rights for Australia - the motivation behind the adoption of a Bill of Rights - the likely interpretation of such a Bill - were Australia to join the worldwide trend for some sort of Bill of Rights it would be on the confirmatory basis to preserve freedoms and rights believed already to exist - how a conjectured Bill of Rights is likely to be interpreted - evidence from Canada of how judges will treat a Bill of Rights in an activist manner - a constitutionalised or quasi-constitutionalised Bill of Rights will lock in everyone except the judges - in a well-established democracy like Australia, important rights are protected, sometimes better protected, without a Bill of Rights.
