thread_title: Expansion needed

message: The article seems good, however tables 5, 6, and 7 from the HREOC report seem unnecessary. It occupies too much space and is excessively detailed. Perhaps a more general statement would be more appropriate instead of listing statistics for individual diseases. Readers who want to view exact statistics can just follow the link to the report.

message: A press release by the Democrats about legislation by the Democrats doesn't sound like a neutral third-party source. Andjam (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Under Mandatory Detention there is the mention of "world law," whatever that is. Quote (as of the time of edit): "Under world law, it is illegal for a country to return an asylum seeker to a country or place where their life is at risk. Australia is currently breaching this law and agencies in Australia are taking matters into their hands to show the world." Is this supposed to be international law, and if yes, a reference would be good.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:2615:A701:F90E:75AD:1205:759 (talk) 09:29, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: The fact is Australia did not respect the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 till 1967. Out of 550 Aboriginal tribes survived only 40. Others were wiped out through killing and the spread of introduced diseases. The Aborigines were not even a part of any government statistics until 1967.--94.68.78.151 (talk) 06:05, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aborigines 

message: The whole section is written in a politically correct fashion and it shall be rewritten. The colonial conflict is actually a bad word for the brutal extermination of the indigeneous Australian people through killing and introduced diseases. The Aborigines were completely helpless in their attempts to protect their land and culture whose weapons were wooden or made of stone. The dispossession lasted until the end of 20ieth century.

message: Supposedly a neutral encyclopedia, but doesn't include full disclosure of the serious human rights abuses perpetrated throughout history and still on-going in Australia. This doesn't compare equally with Human Rights articles about many other nations on Wikipedia (eg. China, Pakistan, etc). หมีขั้วโลก (talk) 08:44, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a section on Treatment of particular groups and minorities which contains quite a bit of info and many links to other articles. Did you have any particular topics you'd like to see addressed? Feel free to add sourced content. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 12:00, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This comment was posted a while ago, so I don't remember the full context or the content of the article, but a good example would be the forced vaccinations of Aboriginals in the Northern Territory, where there were reports and apparently video evidence of elderly and disabled people being aggressively handled, if not outright assaulted, by the police (or army, not sure). Regardless of whether or not you think they should have been vaccinated, or if you think it was good for them, that does not detract from the fact that it is a human rights violation. And there's all the genocide stuff, etc. Yellow Peril, White Australia Policy, systemic abuse directed at immigrants for a long portion of the nation's history (especially from 1950s through to 1980s), Stolen Generation, Catholics vs Protestants (systemic discrimination at many different levels of society). I am sure many people could expand on these topics, and I feel that I have barely scratched the surface. We could also go into systemic abuse in the justice system against prisoners, and especially in the juvenile justice system (bad enough that the ABC 'Four Corners' did a documentary on it. And so on and on and on... Just doing a puff piece on all the laws is not really describing the actual situation of Human Rights, just the official position on the topic. หมีขั้วโลก (talk) 15:28, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much focus on legislation, not enough unbiased reporting of historical and on-going HR violations.
