Australian Values › Australian Values
What does it mean to respect the rule of law in Australia?
- To obey only the laws you agree with
- To follow the instructions of police at all times
- To know all Australian laws by memory
- To accept that everyone, including the government, must follow the law equally
Why this is the correct answer
Respecting the rule of law means accepting that no person — including those in power — is above the law, and that all must be held equally accountable under it. This principle is fundamental to a fair society and underpins Australia's entire legal and democratic system.
