Life to the Full - Rights and Social Justice in Australia - Edited by James Franklin
Humans are made in God's image, Christians believe. As beings of immense value, they possess objective worth and inalienable rights. Since society is made for humans, economic and political arrangements must respect human rights, from the right to life to the rights to education, association and free expression. In this collection, experts consider the full range of rights that go to make up a free society fit for a full human life. They apply to current Australian conditions the insights of Catholic social thinking, a sperspective both older than the competing ideologies of socialism and captialism and more in accordance with the real world of the new century.

Do you remember when? Most of us reading this article will be of an age that can cope with someone saying “Do you remember when...“and then reminding us of an event that happened decades ago (at which point we then might respond: but that seems only like yesterday!) read on>>.
