Most of the personal rights and liberties enjoyed by Australian citizens are not guaranteed in any specific document.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Australia does not have a Bill of Rights. However, the personal rights and liberties can be found in documents like the constitution and the legislation passed by the national, state and regional parliaments, along with the constitution guaranteeing five individual rights.

This idea was borrowed from the United Kingdom after there was a need for discussion and debating of political issues and these laws can be found in the laws made by the judiciary and not in the laws made by the parliament.
