These basic human rights are:
Universal: they
belong to all of us – everybody in the world.
Inalienable: they
cannot be taken away from us.
Indivisible and
interdependent: governments should not be
able to pick and choose which rights are respected.
Article 1 Everyone is born
free and equal in dignity and with rights.
Article 2 You should never be
discriminated against for any reason. Rights belong to all people, whatever our
differences.

Article 29 We all have a responsibility to the people around us and
should protect their rights and freedoms.
Article 30 There is nothing in this declaration that justifies any
person or country taking away the rights to which we are all entitled.
The Australian government has denied us a human rights, as law abiding citizens we SHOULD have the right to protect ourselves & our families, but that right has been taken from us with a law which states that we are not legally allowed to purchase or carry: Pepper spray, Tasers, or guns for the sole purpose of self defence & the defence of our families!
This law does not stop crime, it does not stop home invasions, muggings, beatings, rapes or murders. All it does is leave us defenceless.
So what are you going to do about this? Our government system is totally corrupt to the core, there is little point in begging to the government. I have started petitions, but hardly anyone bothers to sign! You still think we live in a free country? Think again. Most people are totally apathetic to the loss of our human rights & exist with their heads buried in the sand.
Australian Human Rights Commission.
”The Australian Government has agreed to uphold and respect many of these human rights treaties” .
But not all!
