G’day Dmol, You are making far fetching claims without providing any evidence. Either you cite the HCA judgment, where it was decided that the Constitution of Australia contains implied rights or stop posting information, which is not true. The same applies to your claim regarding “numerous laws”. I challenge you to list these laws which protect Australians against HR violations by the Commonwealth Government, including by the black robed tyrants. Your claim that “Human rights in Australia are generally respected and recognised” must stand on some facts as well. Who respects your rights? Which law recognises them? Finally, please list the rights, which you think you have and let us know how they are protected.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ozjustwik (talk • contribs) 03:01, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
This seems... incomplete. - Ta bu shi da yu 11:00, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The article seems good, however tables 5, 6, and 7 from the HREOC report seem unnecessary. It occupies too much space and is excessively detailed. Perhaps a more general statement would be more appropriate instead of listing statistics for individual diseases. Readers who want to view exact statistics can just follow the link to the report.

I have now made the changes, people can follow the link for actual report. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr john luke (talk • contribs) 06:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
A press release by the Democrats about legislation by the Democrats doesn't sound like a neutral third-party source. Andjam (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
I have tagged the intro for POV check. User Retty1 has repeatedly modified the long-standing sentence - "Human rights in Australia are generally respected by the government of Australia" and has changed it to "Human rights in Australia are generally respected by the government of Australia in respect of the white non indigenous population (Bolded for clarity).
This is clearly POV, changes the meaning of the entire introduction, and is an uncited claim not suited to an introduction.
As the user has constantly change this, I am looking for other users' input.--Dmol (talk) 08:09, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
"The record of the Australian Government in relation to human rights is largely positive, with a number of exceptions. Australia's indigenous population particularly have been affected by government policy and continue to trail the wider population in a number of indicators."

Under Mandatory Detention there is the mention of "world law," whatever that is. Quote (as of the time of edit): "Under world law, it is illegal for a country to return an asylum seeker to a country or place where their life is at risk. Australia is currently breaching this law and agencies in Australia are taking matters into their hands to show the world." Is this supposed to be international law, and if yes, a reference would be good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:2615:A701:F90E:75AD:1205:759 (talk) 09:29, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Human rights in Australia/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
The claims made at the opening paragraph are not supported by any evidence and are simply not true. The High Court never confirmed that the Australian Constitution contains any implied rights. I asked Dymol to either quote the Court case to back his words or not to corrupt the Wikipedia, but to no avail.
The same applies to the rest of his claims, where he asserts that there are numerous laws protecting human rights in Australia, but when asked which rights of his are protected and by which law he cannot answer the basic question. Ozjustwik (talk) 04:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC) |

The fact is Australia did not respect the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 till 1967. Out of 550 Aboriginal tribes survived only 40. Others were wiped out through killing and the spread of introduced diseases. The Aborigines were not even a part of any government statistics until 1967.--94.68.78.151 (talk) 06:05, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
The whole section is written in a politically correct fashion and it shall be rewritten. The colonial conflict is actually a bad word for the brutal extermination of the indigeneous Australian people through killing and introduced diseases. The Aborigines were completely helpless in their attempts to protect their land and culture whose weapons were wooden or made of stone. The dispossession lasted until the end of 20ieth century.

Supposedly a neutral encyclopedia, but doesn't include full disclosure of the serious human rights abuses perpetrated throughout history and still on-going in Australia. This doesn't compare equally with Human Rights articles about many other nations on Wikipedia (eg. China, Pakistan, etc). หมีขั้วโลก (talk) 08:44, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
