Case backlog hinders justice, you say (Feb 26). What really hinders
justice for “a tribunal whose jurisdiction is about fundamental human rights” is
that tribunal’s neglect of the most fundamental of human
rights.
It’s an open-and-shut case: the Human Rights Commission states everyone has the right to life. The unborn child is proven indisputably to be
a human being. And the right to life - under law - is denied annually to
thousands of unborn children.
What’s ironic “for a tribunal charged with protecting human rights” is that
Rodger Haines (Human Rights Review Tribunal chairman) should complain that
“access to justice is being denied to almost all”.
None of us can expect justice in a country where a mockery is made of the
law supposed to protect the unborn, and where a pregnant Prime Minister proposes to
deprive other people's children of even these last tatters and shreds of human rights.
When we deny justice to the least of us, we deny it to all.
