The federal parliament in Australia has not been able to protect the basic rights of the people as expected. No legislation in the country has been said to have listed the rights attached to the citizenship of Australia. Just a few mention of the rights to engage in trades between states and that of religion can be seen in a few provisions and not in the nation's constitution as a whole.
It has been over a century since the constitution of Australia came into force, it would have been nice if the bill of rights used by United Kingdom, New Zealand and a few others are rightly spelt out in it.
Many attempts to bring up these bill of rights failed and the most recent one has been the proposed amendment of the constitution to contain the religious freedom and it was voted the least to be effective.
