Bill Of Rights In Australia

Introduction
Good morning fellow ministers of Government, I present before you all today regarding the an enactment of Bill of Rights within the Australian Constitutionn would better cater for the rights of Indigenous people. There are genuine arguments for a Bill of Rights to be enacted. Any person recognised as either of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent, would have their human rights better satisfied a Bill of Rights within the Australian Constitution.
