Human rights scrutiny processes in some Australian parliaments require consideration of whether rights-limiting legislation is reasonable, justifiable, and proportionate. The Queensland Human Rights commissioner has raised concerns of this becoming a “perfunctory ‘tick and flick’ exercise” in which decision-makers perform the “dance steps to [rights] derogation”—a concern emulated by others. Taking this notion of “tick and flick” and “dance steps” literally, this article explores movement and form in the composition of parliamentary human rights scrutiny reports. Drawing from Marie Jacob and Anna Macdonald's notion of legal documents as material, somatic, and metaphorical forms, this article analyzes the choreographic and calligraphic forms in these reports. Through exploring the forms themselves alongside interview data about parliamentary human rights scrutiny practices, this article speculates on whether form has bearing on the process of parliamentary human rights scrutiny, and how form shapes the substance of both the reports and human rights themselves.

“滴答作响”的练习:澳大利亚议会人权审查的运动和形式

一些澳大利亚议会的人权审查程序需要考虑限制权利的立法是否合理、正当和相称。昆士兰州人权专员担心这会成为一种“敷衍的‘打勾’动作”,决策者会表演“克减[权利]的舞步”——其他人也效仿了这一担忧。本文从字面上理解“滴答和轻弹”和“舞步”的概念,探讨了议会人权审查报告写作中的运动和形式。本文借鉴玛丽·雅各布和安娜·麦克唐纳将法律文件视为物质、躯体和隐喻形式的概念,分析了这些报告中的舞蹈和书法形式。本文通过探讨形式本身以及有关议会人权审查实践的采访数据,推测形式是否对议会人权审查的过程产生影响,以及形式如何塑造报告和人权本身的实质内容。
