Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Number 3 in the series: The Snowflake Chronicles. Mounting pressure to legalise assisted suicide and euthanasia is a one-way ratchet asserting the primacy of individual choice. Euthanasia advocates insist nothing can ever outweigh that choice.But in this book, Peter Kurti argues these demands need to be resisted because of the impact individual choice about assisted suicide will have on wider society on the family, on friends, on the local community.Legalising euthanasia and assisted suicide enshrines in law a rejection of the duties we owe to others and the claims others have upon us. It will destroy family relationships, damage the trust we place in the medical profession, and corrode the bonds of civil society forged between individuals within communities. In his answers to seven key questions about euthanasia and assisted suicide, Kurti argues that when society permits some of its citizens to be killed, it tears the fabric of community and threatens to put the culture itself to death.The common good of the community will be harmed if killing by assisted suicide wins acceptance.If individual freedom entitles a sick person in pain to assisted suicide, how can it be denied to someone wishing to die who is not sick and in pain?Peter Kurti is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies and also Adjunct Associate Professor in the School of Law at the University of Notre Dame Australia. He has written extensively about issues of religion, liberty, and civil society in Australia, and is the author of The Tyranny of Tolerance: Threats to Religious Liberty in Australia.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Forty-four attempts have been made to change the Australian Constitution since Federation in 1901 but only eight of those attempts have been successful.In 2022, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese decided to launch another attempt at constitutional amendment. His intention: to hold a referendum proposing to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to parliament in the Constitution.Advocates for the Voice appear to think the unquestionable goodwill which all Australians bear towards their Indigenous sisters and brothers will be enough to ensure a successful outcome. But success is far from assured.Not only has little detail been given to the Australian people about the proposed constitutional changes; more importantly, at the 2022 federal election eleven Indigenous Australians were elected to the Commonwealth Parliament.Many Australians believe this result represents the best possible Indigenous voice to parliament.In Beyond Belief: Rethinking the Voice to Parliament, twelve distinguished Australians set out their reasons why we need to question the wisdom of enshrining a Voice to parliament by amending the Constitution.Some of these reasons are legal, political and constitutional; but others express concern that constitutional amendment will do nothing to address the social disadvantage endured by many Indigenous Australians a burden which weighs heavily on each of the contributors.Beyond Belief: Rethinking the Voice to Parliament will equip Australians who have their own doubts about the proposed referendum with informed and compelling reasons for deciding to vote No when asked to change our nations founding document.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Kurti exposes a grand deception: the tolerance and diversity brigade cannot tolerate diversity of thought. Nick Cater In a time of `fake news and social media mobs, Kurtis thoughtful deliberation about the meaning of tolerance and its tension with political liberty is indispensable. He critiques the origin of Australian multiculturalism and the corrosive cultural effect of codifying diversity in discrimination law. This book is a measured, scholarly treatment of a subject too often submerged in superficial polemic. It resurrects religious freedom and restores the principle to its rightful place in the heart of 21st century democracy. Jennifer Oriel It was a confident expectation for more than a century that religion its beliefs, doctrines and institutions would atrophy in the face of growing secularisation. But not only has traditional Christianity survived in liberal western societies; other faiths, most conspicuously Islam, have increasingly become a perceptible presence. This evolution gives rise to many questions about the place of religion in liberal democratic society. These questions include the increasing difficulty in giving public expression to moral positions informed by faith; the interaction of faith-inspired practices and the rule of law; and implications of the shift from `soft to `hard multiculturalism, marked by a fear that unless carefully managed diversity would cause intolerance and prejudice to flourish. The essays in this book examine these matters in the context of such current debates as those about same-sex marriage, assisted suicide and wearing the burqa and niqab. Upholding the principle of individual freedom under the rule of law is the only acceptable basis for a healthy, descriptively multicultural society. Essays in this book examine matters such as same-sex marriage, assisted suicide and the wearing of the burqa.
