Human rights regulations are some of the most common laws around the world, and also among the most important. They provide all people with fundamental rights one would expect in the modern world. By definition, these rights are believed to be owed to all people with no exceptions and are generally very basic rather than being more complex and covering more controversial subject matters.

With the regulations being so widespread, it may come as a surprise to many that Australia does not have a law in place which guarantees its people these rights. The nation has a very high GDP per capita and is very western with similar ideas and systems in place.

However, this has been recognized, and a new proposed piece of legislation is being considered which will bring the rights of the citizens to the forefront.
