"Many Australians believe that the Human Rights Commission ... should be abolished".

Really?
Who and why?

Triggs has been gone for years but she did manage to embarrass the government and failed to comply with their wishes. I suppose they didn't like the idea of the HREOC being independent and potentially critical of their policies so "shooting the messenger" was the standard procedure.

Answer- Men and British Australians would be two groups- perhaps because the HRC/ EOC/ UNHRC undermines their franchise and they perceive it also undermines stability- including that of the family- perhaps women care more about their power than family and cultural integrity. As Stiglitz says- no one will support policies against their interest.
