Kellie Tranter: Human Rights Activist
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is one formal group of principles accepted as fundamental by the people of all nations who have adopted it.
Australia is the only western democracy without a Charter or Bill of Human Rights. There are lots of rights and freedoms that are not specifically
protected by Australian law. The common law can always be overridden by contrary and unambiguous legislation passed by Parliament and the courts are
powerless if Parliament passes legislation that breaches fundamental freedoms. The Human Rights Hour is aimed at arousing public discussion about
essential rights both in Australia and abroad because without some sort of constitutional protection human rights can only be improved and protected
through education and activism.
