Pro: The common law does not provide adequate protection of basic human rights For the future of the community we must ensure that rights are protected The courts require a clear direction about what rights should be protected-they should not have to rely on precedent and legislative whim The world community suggests that a Bill of Rights is required by all mature and democratic societies A bill of rights would consolidate the emerging rights of indigenous peoples Con: The common law does protect rights A bill of rights would impede the ability of the police to control crime it would increase the amount of litigation in the courts it would give excessive power to the judiciary rights that are left out of the bill will be perceived as having less value and may therefore be altered or deleted certain societies which have the bill of rights do not adequately use them a bill of rights may divert the rights and freedoms of Australians away from the non-bill common law developments hope this helps ^^
