Bill of rights?

[Ozzie]

Australians live in sedated monocultural excellence believing that current freedoms we enjoy are a "right". Yet we are amongst few Western democracies not having a Bill of Rights in our Constitution.

Freedoms we have are constantly being eroded by incremental statutory provisions.

I would like to know from those of you living in societies with a Bill of Rights, what tangible rights does this afford you?

We don't even have a written constitution.
House of lords decisions are the nearest we have.

......monocultural excellence ......

What do you mean by this Ozzie?

P.S. I don't know what the heck are my rights anymore. Seems the bigger an a**hole you are, the more rights you have in this country.
