Abstract

Human rights scrutiny processes in some Australian parliaments require consideration of whether rights-limiting legislation is reasonable, justifiable, and proportionate. The Queensland Human Rights commissioner has raised concerns of this becoming a “perfunctory ‘tick and flick’ exercise” in which decision-makers perform the “dance steps to [rights] derogation”—a concern emulated by others. Taking this notion of “tick and flick” and “dance steps” literally, this article explores movement and form in the composition of parliamentary human rights scrutiny reports. Drawing from Marie Jacob and Anna Macdonald's notion of legal documents as material, somatic, and metaphorical forms, this article analyzes the choreographic and calligraphic forms in these reports. Through exploring the forms themselves alongside interview data about parliamentary human rights scrutiny practices, this article speculates on whether form has bearing on the process of parliamentary human rights scrutiny, and how form shapes the substance of both the reports and human rights themselves.

点击和弹动 "练习:澳大利亚议会人权审查中的动作与形式
澳大利亚一些议会的人权审查程序要求审议限制权利的立法是否合理、正当和相称。昆士兰州人权专员对这一程序成为 "敷衍了事的'打勾和弹指'工作 "表示担忧,在这一程序中,决策者们表演着"(权利)减损的舞步"--其他一些人也在效仿这种担忧。本文从 "打勾、弹指 "和 "舞步 "的字面意思出发,探讨了议会人权审查报告中的动作和形式。本文借鉴玛丽-雅各布(Marie Jacob)和安娜-麦克唐纳(Anna Macdonald)关于法律文件作为物质、躯体和隐喻形式的概念,分析了这些报告中的舞蹈和书法形式。通过探讨这些形式本身以及有关议会人权审查实践的访谈数据,本文推测形式是否与议会人权审查过程有关,以及形式如何塑造报告和人权本身的实质内容。
