This paper looks at the reasons why a Bill of Rights may be an attractive option for
rights protection for Indigenous Australians and I want to start by saying that my
views are personal; I am not claiming that they are reflective of the Indigenous
community. I am going to structure my paper to answer one of the claims most often
used against a Bill of Rights, namely, that the current system already allows for
adequate rights protection. Put colloquially, it can be called the 'if the system ain't
broke, don't fix it' argument.
