Victorian Human Rights Bill
Posted by The Editor Fri, 27 Jan 2006 10:02:00 GMT
Submission on Human Rights Bill in Victoria. We opposed this Bill on the grounds that the Committee was based mainly on the Bill of Rights from the ACT, NZ, UK and Canada. Within these countries these Bills have actually taken away the human rights of many people. The document relies heavily on the ICCPR document but the committee has seen fit to update the language. The provision of life beginning at birth is a denial of the proven scientific and biological reality that life begins at conception.
