This video is about the operation of rights in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic and their interaction with emergency laws. It discusses cases about freedom of movement (both in its common law form, and under the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities) and whether there is a constitutional implication of freedom of movement (the Gerner and Loielo cases).
It discusses the intersection between freedom of movement and the implied freedom of political communication (the Bassi and Cotterill cases).
It also addresses the application of freedom of religion (the Athavle case) and the rights of citizens to enter Australia (the Newman case).
It explains that rights are not absolute and that even constitutional rights may be limited if the restrictions are made for a legitimate purpose and are proportionate to that purpose.
