Australia remains the only democracy without a national human rights act. Since Whitlam's 1973 Bill, repeated attempts have failed due to political opposition, ideological resistance, and fear campaigns. Inquiries in 2008, 2023, and 2024 revealed overwhelming public and expert support for reform, with more than 80 percent of submissions favoring legislation. Despite this, Parliament has not acted. Evidence shows a dialogue-model Act would strengthen accountability, safeguard rights, and unify protections across the country. The key barrier is political will, not public sentiment.
