It has taken since 1986 for the Australian Human Rights Commission to release papers & a suggested draft for incorporation into Australian law to protect all citizens. Apart from the likes of Julian Assange?
People’s rights matter, all of the time
The legal framework should:
• Protect human rights.
• Prevent violations of human rights.
• Provide effective relief for breaches of human rights.
It means that:
Laws should respect
human rights.
When decisions are made,
the human rights impacts
should be considered.
Remedies should be
available where human
rights have not been
considered or have
been breached without
justification.
Parliament, governments and public officials should
be held to account for how they consider human
rights impacts in their decision-making.
The impact of laws, policy and practice on people’s
human rights should always be considered.
This reflects: our commitment to democratic
principles, and ‘Australian values’ that respect civil
liberties, rights and fundamental freedoms

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Of course there will have to be exceptions
Some will have more rights:- politicians, lobbyists, party donors, police and senior government officials(see robodebt investigation)
Those with the least rights are people who live in strong opposition held electorates, Aboriginal and aboriginal decendents, reporters, whistlelowers, UN humanitarian workers , non Christians, immigrants minor ethnic communities and all non Caucasians
Those in the middle who will have these human rights
Baaaahhhh Baahhhh Baaaaahhhaaaa. the shorn and fleeced.

In practice yes. In law no. Whether the judges will have the spinal fortitude I very much doubt. They haven't in the past.
