The Legal Rights Essay Series features intellectual insights on issues that affect Australians’ rights and freedoms, the rule of law, and Australia’s constitutional and common law traditions.
The Legal Rights Essay Series is an initiative of the Law and Freedom Program at the Institute of Public Affairs. The Law and Freedom Program conducts and publishes research and analysis of the effects of government policy on the foundations of the Australian legal and constitutional order, the principles of limited government, freedom of speech, and equal treatment under the law.
The Law and Freedom Program was established to address the public policy and cultural challenges threatening Australians’ freedoms, including:
- Repeated attempts by government to limit freedom of speech online and through the expansion of vague and subjective anti-vilification laws.
- The increasing concentration of power in unaccountable bureaucratic institutions.
- The influence of radical theories on the teaching of law and its wider impact on the Australian legal system.
These issues and more will be explored in future instalments of the Legal Rights Essay Series.
