Australian system of justice: There is no obvious argument of saying arbitary justice is acceptable in Australia. I do not believe Australians feel they live under tyranny more than any other liberal democratic nation. You would use these arguments against a fascist or a Stalinist, because there is a fundamental problem with such beliefs.
\"The PM is a hidden and informal executive\". Is that a Project Manager or Post Master, because it is not a description of any Prime Minister.
Parliamentary government is a common form of constitutional arrangment, even for republics: Portugal, Austria, Greece, Turkey, India, Israel, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Singapore, Italy, Hungary, Finland and many others.
Broadbrush excuses for the wholesale replacement of the constitution and system of government are unlikely to get even a few percent of any referendum vote. Presidential or radical systems of government are consistantly rejected in surveys.
I support what people support: a non-executive, apolitical Head of State, who cannot directly exercise the authority they hold. Those interested in supporting legal rights should be championing a republic where there are impartial Governors formally exercising the power of government, so it can be in conformity of such rights.
Fighting for a Presidential System is to be taken out of the fight for a Bill of Rights altogether.
