Look people, Australia is no model when it comes to human rights, I have lived there. It remains a deeply insular country with a strongly xenophobic streak, it feels superior to other countries, it still doesn't allow same-sex marriage. In fact, police in Sydney are only NOW reopening and re-investigating the cases of the deaths of dozens of gay men in the 1980's up to 2000 as  possible murders. Its social attitudes and norms are thirty years behind ours. Nice beaches and coastline though.
