"We'll have what they're having..."

Did you know that every liberal democracy in the world other than Australia has some form of national human rights protection?

Click on the points in the map below to see how other countries do it. You will see that different countries take different approaches to human rights protection. What's missing in Australia is any form of overall protection for your human rights.
