Importance of human rights in Australia
In 2012, 95% said strongly agree when asked about the right to a fair trial.
Question
And now I will ask you about the United Nations and human rights. The United Nations has set out a number of human rights that it says apply to all people throughout the world. I am going to read you a few of these. For each one, please say whether you personally agree or disagree that it is important for you here in Australia. And is that strongly or partly?
