Not having a bill of rights is one of the smartest and most responsible things a country could do.The Australian Constitution does not have a bill of rights either, however it does give protection to specific human rights (notably the right to freedom of religion). This allows rights to established by convention and protected by the High Court, and hence facilitates social progress so that you are not stuck with immoral rights or freedoms of centuries gone by -like the right to own a gun in the US.
