The Constitutional Systems of the Australian States and Territories
By
Gerard Carney
Description
This book outlines the constitutional
systems of the six Australian states and ten Commonwealth
territories. It begins with their history, basic features, role and
future within the Australian federation. Its primary focus is on the
binding constitutional restrictions which impact on their parliaments
and governments. These issues are also dealt with in relation to the
three self-governing territories of the ACT, the Northern Territory
and Norfolk Island. It is the only Australian legal reference work of
its kind which deals specifically with the constitutional systems of
the states and territories. This book is for all law students and
constitutional law teachers as well as legal advisors to
commonwealth, state and territory governments and parliaments. It
will also be of interest to Supreme, Federal, and High Court judges,
political scientists working in the area of federalism and anyone
with an interest in constitutional affairs.
