The ‘delicate plant’ of free speech needs water: Coleman v Australia
John Chesterman
Alternative Law Journal
Volume 32, Number 1, March 2007 LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW
The legal experiences of Australian agitator Patrick Coleman show the fragility of freedom of speech in Australia. Coleman was imprisoned as a result of giving a political address in a downtown mall. After exhausting all domestic avenues of appeal, Coleman took his case to the United Nations Human Rights Committee, which found that the application of the local by-law in question amounted to a breach by Australia of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

The article touches on the purpose behind the Charter, quoting from a report by the Human Rights Consultation Committee and the Charter’s preamble. The author notes the ways in which human rights cases have arisen in the past, within the common law and other legislation, and highlights the significance of the journey now facing Victorian judicial officers in the development of human rights jurisprudence.

The derogation of human rights for people with transsexualism since the ‘Justice’ Statement
Karen Gurney
Alternative Law Journal
Volume 31, Number 1, March 2006 LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW
This article discusses the failure of the Victorian government to properly comprehend and act on the breaches of human rights issues inherent in recent legislation impacting on members of arguably the most vulnerable sexual minority group within the Victorian community — people with transsexualism. It does so in the context of the 2004 release of a ‘Justice Statement’ and establishment of a Human Rights Consultative Committee to consider issues associated with implementing a human rights charter.
