  • The Human Rights Act 2004 is an Act of the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly that recognises the fundamental human rights of individuals. Ratified by the Australia Capital Territory (ACT) Legislative Assembly on the 1 July 2004, it was the among first of its kind to define and enshrine human rights into Australian law by establishing civil, political, economic, social and culture rights. The unprecedented legislation followed the proposal extended by ACT Bill of Rights Consultative Committee. This proposal embodied a community wide deliberation, designed to assess public sentiment toward Human Rights within the ACT. Consequently, this dialog would go on to highlight the popularity of an ACT Charter of Human Rights among the populace. While this piece of legislation established newly held human rights, the act itself does not inhibit already established rights and freedoms . The act explicitly outlines within section 7, "Rights apart from act", that rights established within the document are not exhaustive. Additionally, this legislation draws distinct limitations, exclaiming that the Human Rights outlined, are accountable to "reasonable limits" enacted by law, such that, they are "demonstrably justified" throughout civilisation. Additionally, the Act established an Australian Capital Territory Human Rights Commissioner while also empowering the ACT Supreme Court to facilitate compliance of legislation. (en)
