Since the first edition, Australian Federal Constitutional Law: Commentary and Materials has established itself as one of the most respected constitutional reference works. The title is intended primarily for teaching purposes and covers the material included in virtually all Australian Federal Constitutional Law courses. The essential topics are examined in depth to promote greater insight into constitutional principles, judicial reasoning and overall assessment of the work of the High Court. This new edition incorporates recent developments in the law. It reviews all of the important constitutional decisions of the High Court of Australia and analyses the issues that arise in those decisions. The book has a fresh friendly layout to promote understanding, substantial commentary, notes, questions and references, and provides shorter case extracts to illustrate the salient points.
