1. Right to Vote and Stand for Election: Section 41 of the Constitution states that every Australian citizen who has attained the age of 18 years has the right to vote and to stand for election for the House of Representatives.
2. Freedom of Speech and Assembly: Section 116 guarantees freedom of speech and assembly, allowing citizens to express their opinions and beliefs without fear of censorship.
3. Trial by Jury: Section 80 guarantees the right to trial by jury for serious criminal offenses.
4. Freedom of Religion: Section 116 ensures freedom of religion, enabling citizens to practice their faith freely.
5. Right to Apply for Passports: As outlined in Section 51 (xix) of the Constitution, the Australian federal government has the power to create laws regarding the issuance of passports. Citizens are entitled to apply for passports to facilitate international travel.
It's worth noting that while these rights and privileges exist, the Constitution does not explicitly outline corresponding responsibilities for Australian citizens. Instead, many responsibilities are established through legislation and other legal mechanisms.
