Human Rights
EAP believes that every citizen of this country has the right to pursue their lives and happiness in a manner deemed as socially and legally acceptable - regardless of their race, opinion, nationality, religion, or sexuality.
We propose ratifying the most hotly debated issue over the last 10 years by placing Marriage Equality at the top of the proposed 'National Register of Issues', to be voted upon and being decided through the inaugural e-referendum.
Aboriginal rights is another area that will be addressed, with policies and programmes developed to ensure the importance and future of Aboriginal culture is recognised, developed, and nurtured. To this end the EAP propose implementing the recommendations of the Joint Select Committee on Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
The rights of immigrants - both legal and illegal - will be addressed (see Immigration Policy) to ensure we meet with world standards of ethical treatment - and more importantly - with our own high standards.
These and other changes are intended to position Australia as a world leader in political innovation and human rights - to establish and cement this reputation and perception internationally - and to demonstrate our status as a wholly independent nation whilst still maintaining our heritage and cultural ties to our past.
