    From the start, the creation and fall of Man is summarized in this: the creation and reason for human nature is "God gave Man free will, from Man's free will, sin and death came into the world." Although Milton is not necessarily saying the Fall of Man went down the way he wrote it, the story is much more believable – and more entertaining – if the characters seem like they could have been real people.…

    Human rights can be described as the basic rights and freedoms all people have because they are human beings. In Australia there have been many responses to effectively obtain and enforce human rights through both Australian and international action. Responses such as the UN, international treaties, intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations, domestic responses and the structure of the Australian law making system address issues of human rights. These responses have been effective in responding to issues of human rights within Australia. Although Australia has been widely successful in protecting and promoting human rights within its borders it has failed in some ways to best protect and promote these rights.…

The human rights protection in the Australian law is not offered by either a constitutional or statutory Bill of Rights, but a collection of various legislation and court judgments. Thus, the role of the judiciary or the court systems in the human rights protection in individual cases becomes especially vital. This paper will begin with briefly discussing Australia’s human rights status and suggesting that the executive and legislative responses are inadequate and a greater role of the judiciary is needed. Then the paper suggests the judiciary must protect its independence to “dispense justice without fear or favour”[2], laying down the foundation for the rule of law and thus human rights protection. Secondly, because of the lack of explicit laws protecting human rights, the judiciary should infuse international human rights principles in judicial interpretation process to directly engage in the individual rights protection. Thirdly, the paper proposes that limited…
