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 …
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
