Video: bill of rights debate reignited

10 Dec 2008
ABC News video.

Janet Albrechtsen and Tony Abbott are concerned. Abbott:
Proponents ask: who could be against rights? In fact, everyone who believes in the role of parliament should be against allowing judges to invent new rights. Bills of rights are left-wing tricks to allow judges to change society in ways a parliament would never dare. Even the British Labour Government is now having second thoughts with the Home Secretary saying that rights legislation has become a “villain’s charter”.
