1 make no apology for raising this matter in this debate today because the apparent lack of interest on this subject in our society has driven me to the stage where 1 believe that I must keep keeping on and keep drawing attention to what I describe as the erosion of the liberty and privacy of the individual in this nation. [More…]

I am broadly in agreement with John Stuart Mill’s definition of the proper sphere of the criminal law in his essay ‘On Liberty’ when he wrote: [More…]
The principle is that the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their members is self-protection: That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community against his will is to prevent harm to others.

The individual has rights, and in a world increasingly indifferent to liberty and individualism, a man’s remaining rights must be respected. [More…]
1 would never have thought that I should have to remind this Minister that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance and that part of that vigilance must be to establish and maintain - not favours to citizens, subject to politicians and officials - but the rights of citizens and the equal rights of all citizens - not a division into first class citizens on the one hand and pensioners as second class citizens on the other.

If I may use the words of our policy, we are dedicated to political liberty and the freedom and dignity of man; safe from external aggression and playing our part in a world security order which maintains the necessary force to defend the peace; looking primarily to the encouragement of individual initiative and enterprise as the dynamic force of progress; to make just provision for the aged, the invalid, the widowed, the sick, the unemployed and the children.

The honourable member had a great degree of liberty in asking his question. [More…]
But of one thing we can be certain: It will not increase liberty. [More…]
Almost everybody knows, I suggest, at least 2 things: Firstly, that almost everything we have that is of value has been won as a result of the people winning greater liberty, secondly, that the little that we have of value has been won as a result of bringing about more order, for this is just another word for more restriction, more control, more conformity, more timidity, less enterprise. [More…]

There is authority of the highest kind saying it should not be done unless the offence is a serious offence because no man, as the honourable member for Wills (Mr Bryant) said, should be deprived of his liberty unless 12 good men and true - his peers, if you like - check every possibility, bring with them the wisdom of the streets, say yea or nay and give him the benefit of the doubt. [More…]
of this clause and at the power which it gives to civilians, not policemen, to disperse a riot, it can be seen clearly that it virtually grants a charter of liberty to any individual who cares to break up a demonstration or assembly of any kind. [More…]

Likewise, on a journey from a camp he will be covered for a journey that commences before 9 a.m. on the morning of the day following the begin ning of his period of liberty or leave. [More…]

We are concerned about war of any kind subverting the liberty of any country. [More…]
I should not need to persuade honourable members that the preservation of the liberty of the subject is a vital brick on which our whole system of justice is built. [More…]
The giving of an unfettered discretion to the executive arm of government to determine whether he should be at liberty or not is completely opposed to all our history and to all our principles. [More…]
Such a system is completely wrong, and the ideals behind our much vaunted concept of the rule of law will be severely dented if a decision making power that so vitally affects the liberty of the subject is created in this way. [More…]
It is a cheap form of administrative expediency and there should be no room for such administrative expediency where the question of a person’s liberty is involved. [More…]
It is that decision that affects a person’s liberty. [More…]
I am not underrating the importance of the problem of the prisoner or of the liberty of the subject; what I am saying is that if 150,000 prisoners were involved what would be needed would be not only a parole board but also a substantial department to handle the matter. [More…]
It has been stated that we are involved here with the liberty of the subject and that this liberty is threatened by having ‘the matter in the hands of the Executive. [More…]
Where is the liberty of the subject protected in the second circumstance? [More…]
The liberty of the subject is much more protected when a Minister is answerable to the representatives of the people in this House than it would be if it were in the hands of some obscure, anonymous board which is answerable to no-one. [More…]
Great Britain is, after all, the place of origin of most of our love of liberty and our way of handling and protecting our civil liberties. [More…]
It is because it would bulk so large in the work of the Attorney-General to deal with them personally that machinery provisions have led to the establishment of the practice of a parole board handling these cases, rather than as a means of safeguarding the liberty of the subject. [More…]
We will keep this matter under review, particularly having regard to the liberty of the prisoners involved, but for the present, what is contained in this ordinance is, I believe, the proper thing to have contained in such an ordinance. [More…]
The second point I wish to make is that he has not understood what I have said in relation to the protection of the liberty of the subject. [More…]
The old English method of protecting the liberty of the subject which is still in force in the United Kingdom is that where the liberty of the subject is involved a Minister must be responsible and answerable to the representatives of the people in the Parliament. [More…]
It is absolutely ridiculous to suggest that that is not a very great safeguard of the liberty of the subject. [More…]
But honourable members should not be misled into thinking that the liberty of the subject would be very greatly increased if this were to happen. [More…]
lt was not because they were afraid, not because they had no patriotism and certainly not because they lacked the desire to defend liberty, but simply because they could not be convinced that they were in fact going to defend anything at all, but rather were being used as expendable pawns in an international chess game which was clearly recognisable as a game of power politics.

A young man is not interested in this, and one of the difficulties that I feel at liberty to say that I would see in the establishment of any joint defence college is that we would get precisely the young man who goes from school at an impressionable age with all the enthusiasm in the world and who is interested in a particular Service. [More…]
However, I am at liberty to disclose that the following matters were considered at the meeting of the Committee on 4th and 5th February 1971: [More…]

If one accepts the premise that individual liberty is something valuable in itself or valuable because it is essential to fulfilment of human potentialities legal coercion in any form must be regarded as prima lacie objectionable, an interference with individual liberty which cannot be tolerated unless it is shown to be indispensable to the securing of some countervailing good.1 But what benefit or good should a liberty-minded society endorse as sufficient to warrant the inhibition of freedom which legal coercion always involves? [More…]

In deciding on a programme of action which will contribute effectively to alleviation of the problem without, at the same time, unduly trespassing on people’s personal liberty of choice the Government has decided that its proper role is that of taking steps available to it to ensure that all people are fully and properly informed of the dangers to their health of cigarette smoking. [More…]
I do not speak for the Minister but I think I would be at liberty to say this: The honourable member will not find him unresponsive if he can make some suggestions for improving the system and facilitating the means whereby expression can be given to the wishes of those unions which want to amalgamate. [More…]
The unions are so concerned about liberty and the right to do this and to do that that they should be concerned also about the right to work. [More…]

This has given a great degree of liberty to many people who previously did not have authority. [More…]
1 was careful to point out in answer to the parity question, that 1 did not believe that I had the same liberty to dilate on this subject as had economic writers, because so near to an election people might assume that after the election the new government would appreciate the Australian dollar. [More…]
If the Minister wishes to table a paper he is quite at liberty to do so. [More…]
Whether this will be the answer I am not at liberty to say at present, but we have tried very hard to find an answer to this problem which is causing people to be laid off, to be placed in the unemployed group or to have their working hours substantially reduced. [More…]
We seek these in this society, where the rule of law is honoured, where the individual and his liberty are first in our consideration and where the incentive genius of man has unfettered opportunity in a climate of free enterprise and healthy competition. [More…]
It is high time that we had in power a government that has decent respect for human rights, human dignity, the liberty of the subject and the rights of man. [More…]
Honourable members opposite talk about the liberty of the subject. [More…]
Of course I am not at liberty to disclose the man’s name or the medical details of his case, and I do not intend to do so. [More…]
There are good prospects of obtaining this and other types of work, but I am not at liberty at the present time to describe them. [More…]

I want the Government to know that the Opposition parties in pursuing their policies will fight to the last ditch in the Parliament in opposing the Government’s desire to seek by compulsory unionism to provide some in the Commonwealth Public Service a benefit which it believes might well advantage those concerned but which, of course, completely cuts across the concept of individual freedom and individual liberty. [More…]

If it be true that working men may combine with a view, among other things, to getting as much as they can for their labour, just as capital may combine with a view to getting the greatest possible return, it must be true that when combined they have the same liberty that combined capital has to support their interests by argument, persuasion, and the bestowal or refusal of those advantages which they otherwise lawfully control. [More…]
I know that the honourable member for Parramatta (Mr N. H. Bowen) being a legal man, and believing as I do in the liberty of the subject, would be able to use a powerful argument against such a concept. [More…]

Benjamin Disraeli once said that a university should be a place of light, of liberty and of learning. [More…]
I would hope all members of this House would accept that liberty of thought and expression is indeed the breath behind man’s ultimate progress. [More…]
Surely, if the system is what it should be, if universities are indeed supposed to be, as Disraeli said, places of light, liberty and learning, we should be able to give the students at these institutions at least a feeling of belonging; at least an appreciation that the time they are spending there is well spent, that they are not just there for rote learning, that they are not just there to be part of a conveyor belt producing degrees, as though a university were some sort of a giant degree factory.

[More…]
I hope honourable gentlemen will look at the great lovers of liberty. [More…]
If the Minister for Services and Property ever gets up again and talks about the onus of proof, about liberty and about the Bill of Rights, I hope he has to reach for a glass of water, because a person can be fined $200 if he does not comply with the requirements of this legislation. [More…]
In conclusion I repeat what I said in this House not long ago when I updated a famous quotation of Thomas Jefferson- it may need some qualification- ‘Our liberty depends on the freedom of the media and that cannot be limited without being lost. ‘ [More…]

To those [>eople who may be persuaded that the rule of aw no longer has relevance, who may be invited to succumb to the notion that the courts of law do not represent a bulwark between the caprice of the political practitioner and the liberty of the subject, may I say that that is a notion to which I for my part do not subscribe. [More…]

Does the Attorney-General seriously suggest, as the parens pater of this country, that this is a conspicuous display of fairness and that it walks in the finest traditions of his predecessors, those who have sought to interpose, to interdict, their authority against the caprice of the state and the liberty of the subject?

[More…]

Turn back the record to the time when the right honourable member was Leader of the House and trampled on every right and liberty of every person in this place. [More…]
His Excellency the Governor-General is a loyal and principled person, quite unlike his predecessor, and it must have disappointed him greatly to have been asked to mouth the platitudes incorporated in the Speech and to have been reduced to the level of a loquacious backslapper for a government of autocrats which is intent on destroying every civil liberty enjoyed by the Australian people, a government so unsure of itself, so lacking in self-confidence - [More…]
in the final analysis public safety and individual liberty sustain one another. [More…]
So the Government parties are in a very advantageous position to take liberty of such a proposition at the moment. [More…]
Please do something positive for the liberty of the Timorese people. [More…]

I believe the reason for the restiveness in the chamber, the reason that honourable members on the other side of the chamber have been leaping up to assert matters of conscience and matters of liberty and have been coming into and out of the chamber as though they were caught in a revolving door at Myers, is that there are men of honour on the other side of the chamber, that there are men who regard any contract as being a binding moral obligation.
