I've heard too many similar stories of the abuse of the legal system by (nearly always) women and those on the bench. IMO that each state, territory and the Cth governments each have their own constitutions and laws that aren't being complied with /enforced by the police, public prosecutors, the judiciary and politicians, I don't see how…

IMO that each state, territory and the Cth governments each have their own constitutions and laws that aren't being complied with /enforced by the police, public prosecutors, the judiciary and politicians, I don't see how having a "bill of rights" will make any precieviable difference, other than providing another avenue for lawyers to enrich themselves, to entrench more power with our governments to control /manipulate us and to erode what rights we have left
A defeatist attitude like that is partly the reason nothing changes, you are right it probably won't make any difference but that doesn't mean it should not be done, we are in a war here and all avenues should be considered.
The important thing is that the people in power who would rather we all just gave up , come to see that there are a good number who are willing to continue the fight, like Bettina and all her supporters.
Winston Churchill at the darkest hour said " if you are going through hell, keep going"
What's defeatists about not wanting to expend time and energy on something that (given the paradigms operating in politics, media, policing, domestic violence and family law industrial complexes) will have very little measurable impact, especially as our constitutional and legal rights are being eroded by legislation, practice or just ignored? The energy would be best used to produce measurable impact and change.
If a “bill of rights” was part of Australia becoming a republic, then I might consider it.

I agree Australia should be a republic or at least more independent of the old British empire and more recently the US "empire"
Some say that a republic can lead to a dictatorship and this may be a risk, but worth taking I think.'
What is the long term future for Australia? to be forever a lapdog of globalist imperilism it seems.
