Some notes:
Section 1
1) In other words, no Guantanamo, no chargeless detentions in naval brigs.
3) It was an interesting choice I had. I didn\'t feel comfortable with my first impulse, that I have the right to rebellion when legislation violates my rights; I prefer the rule of law to than of man, and rebellion amounts to the latter. But immediate legal redress for all complaints would clog the legal system and bring the rule of law to a grinding halt. So, as per a suggestion by Cam and technically as per the Constituition - assuming the Rights become part of the Constitution as I believe they must - the G-G becomes the protector of my Rights, and the courts are the abitrators.
5) This pre-supposes that local government will *ever* be mentioned in the constitution :- ) But basically the US Tenth Amendment
6) A rough approximation of the US Ninth Amendment. Needs work.
Section 2
3) No Extraordinary Rendition
Section 4
No Defence of Marriage Acts
Section 7
5) No
US vs Stewart
s
6) I don\'t know why I included the exception for military cases. I\'m not too sure of it, actually. I could be convinced either way with a good argument.
Section 9
1) I don\'t believe criminals should lose the right to vote.
3) This needs to be re-phrased. It\'s intention was to give Australians outside of Australia representation that isn\'t the member of the last electorate they lived in. That is, the Representative of the Diaspora that Imagining Australia discussed.
