The Australian Parliamentary Library has issued an online research guide titled Bill of Rights. This guide contains links to resources and documents relating to attempts at a Bill or Charter of Rights at the Commonwealth, State and Territory level. Included is a summary of arguments for and against a BOR as well as links to speeches and papers by key players in the debate. Information on public opinion polls is also included. Some comparative material on overseas countries which have a Bill of Rights is also available. The Guide will be regularly updated.
This guide would provide teachers with an excellent teaching resource to get students to explore reasons for a Bill of Rights as well as reasons against.
