Opis

This work examines the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 and suggests how it may be reformed. The 20th century saw many social changes in Australia, and exposed shortcomings in Australia's Constitution, yet Australian voters have proved remarkably reluctant to approve constitutional change. This book suggests what changes should be made to the Constitution, drawing on the experience of other jurisdictions, and in particular South Africa, Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
