The results are in: Three in four Australians support the legislation of a Human Rights Act! This polling is consistent with both previous research Amnesty Australia has conducted and with polling by the Human Rights Law Centre, which also demonstrated strong support for a Human Rights Act. It will benefit the whole community by:Ensuring everyone understands their rights by consolidating protections and building respect for human rights,Preventing human rights abuses by requiring public authorities to consider human rights when making decisions, andProviding a powerful tool for ordinary people to challenge injustices through complaints, the courts and tribunals.
