Recenzje

'Filling a significant gap in our public law scholarship is this new book devoted to examining in meticulous detail the history of the idea and practice of parliamentary control of government finances, and to discerning from that history a common pattern in the contemporary relationship between public finance and parliamentary constitutionalism in the United Kingdom and Australia … Dr Bateman's Public Finance and Parliamentary Constitutionalism is at once a work of legal history and of constitutional theory … So far as I am aware, the intellectual exercise in which he engages is of a nature no other legal scholar has had the temerity to engage in since the second half of the 19th century - and the exercise is all the more impressive given the enormous changes wrought in the 20th century.' The Hon. Justice Stephen Gageler AC, Melbourne University Law Review
