“What an invidious choice for a voter who supports better treatment of asylum seekers because a more open border policy is not only humane but economically desirable, as it is consistent with eliminating barriers to trade and capital. And for the voter who thinks Australia’s symbolism of a Queen of England and a flag that features a Union Jack is out of step with the reality of its seeking to appear to the Asian region to be an independent multicultural nation. And for the voter who believes that minority groups need protection from the oppression of the majority in society and so a human rights law that is legally enforceable is necessary to achieve this aim.”
