Скачать или смотреть Victoria needs a Bill Of Rights

The Liberal Democrats do not trust governments exercising power. We believe the old truism that power corrupts. This means that governments are dangerous. They wield the power of the law and the police. They are the only ones that can authorise violence and truly get away with it. Sometimes politicians lie. They use their power to get more power.

We need to enshrine our fundamental freedoms and protect them from our own government of whatever party. We need a document that says the reason we have a government in the first place is to secure our liberty and in particular to secure our individual rights. We need to protect the rights to free speech, assembly, petition and conscience. We need to secure the rights to due process, to a public trial and against self-incrimination. These rights are not only fundamental liberties that are owed to every individual, they are also checks against government power.
