Could someone please confirm or give me an answer to question 15 of the HSC 2011 legal studies multiple choice. The question asked;
"The Australian Government has ratified an international treaty on human rights. What is the practical effect of this?"
The options
a) Australians are granted human rights (or something along those lines, dont have the paper)
b)Human right breaches are punishable in Australia
c)It enables the Australian Government to enact human rights legislation
d)Human rights breaches can be punished by international tribunals
I would appreciate peoples' opinion on this (or if your teachers have gone through with you guys and confirmed an answer) My teacher still remains ambivalent and is tossing between two options
