    Changed my mind on this after comparing the US response to @Snowden's revelations to Australia's. A rights framework is necessary.https://twitter.com/ProfGWilliams/status/892511739467583488 …

        A rights framework transfers power from legislative to judiciary. At least politicians are elected and have to consider the public response

        More broadly, how do you know when your constitution has given too much power to 'unelected judges'?

        it's difficult - but I think the risks of "activist judges" are less than from unchecked executive govt

        Aus has no equivalent of Lochner era. But is the US really any better on privacy though? Anti terror legislation is robust there and here.

        And I should add - Lochner was supposedly rooted in more pro-market, small govt outcomes so its not an ideological problem

        One final point - RDN's list in the article would be a nightmare for any govt to deal with
