Constitution an “Alice in Wonderland” view of democracy and rights : Comments

By James Allan, published 22/7/2011

The Greens want to avoid putting any specific alternative up against the status quo because they realise it would likely lose – better to start with vague, amorphous, indeterminate and gaseous platitudes.

I have learnt over many years that our governments cannot be trusted or relied upon.
We can insist the government listens to us the people.

We can stop them enacting evil legislation and we can stop them selling our land, properties, and industries.

We can force them to control foreign investors to stop them unjustly increases the costs of our utilities and water.

When we acheive that only then will we be a DEMOCRACY. Until then we will exist in a Tyrannical Dictatorship.

FOR EVIL TO TRIUMPH REQUIRES ONLY THAT GOOD MEN AND WOMEN DO NOTHING

I would not like to see an entrenched Bill of Rights in Australia. Implied rights through other legal means allows for change in attitudes and allows for people on the fringe and for minorities to have a voice and enables mechanisms to make change. It is impossible to include all in the entrenchment of rights and by doing so excludes some and thus defeats its purpose.
