	JSPL - Book Review - Australian Constitutional Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		High Court constitutional cases are invariably lengthy, dense and complex but a knowledge of them is fundamental to achieving an understanding of Australian constitutional law.
		The Australian constitution entrenches the notion of the separation of powers within the commonwealth government administration and so the main body of the book examines these three arms of government; parliament, the judiciary and the executive, in detail in chapters four to seven (inclusive).
		The Australian constitution is a unique document drawn up at a time when attitudes were very different from the ideas that fed the preparation and promulgation of most of the constitutions of the South Pacific Island countries.

	Constitutional law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Constitutional law is the study of foundational laws that govern the scope of powers and authority of various bodies in relation to the creation and execution of other laws by a government.
		A constitution binds a government or governments, limiting the contexts in which rules may be created, interpreted and force may be applied.
		Not all nation-states have constitutions, though all such states have a jus commune, or law of the land, that may consist of a variety of imperative and consensual rules, that may be customary law, oral law and written law that apply in the various jurisdictions of such state.

	ipedia.com: Australian constitutional crisis of 1975 Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The Constitution was drafted through the 1890s and enacted in 1901, thus pre-dating Britain's Parliament Act, 1911, which enshrined this principle of the supremacy of the lower house in the British constitution.
		In the United Kingdom constitution the issue of the power of the Upper House to block supply was encountered, and the power removed from the House of Lords, in the course of the constitutional crisis of 1909 - 1911 (see Parliament Act).
		In the years afterwards, some Australian republicans have used the crisis as an argument for change, on the basis that Australia's current constitution is flawed over (a) the upper house and supply and (b) the lack of security of tenure of the de facto head of state in dealing with a crisis.

		The alternative is a patchwork of federal, state and territory laws (evident in fields such as trade practices and labour law), with the attendant difficulties of gaps in coverage, lack of flexibility and inefficiency.
		Constitutions are intended to be difficult to change because they reflect enduring values of their societies and establish overarching structures within which those societies are governed.
		The Australian federation was originally conceived as a 'layer cake', in which the tiers of government occupied separate and identifiable domains of power and responsibility, with little opportunity or need for interaction.

		The Australian constitutions are supplemented by ‘constitutional conventions’, a sort of political customary law, which provide in particular the ‘reserve powers’ of the Governor-General and Governors, and the conventions of parliamentary procedure.
		In these terms, administrative law has two components: a structural component, consisting of the laws that establish the organs of administration, and a supervisory component, consisting mainly of the laws through which the judiciary can be called upon to declare that administrative action has exceeded the administrator’s authority, almost always an authority conferred by legislation.
		The remedies available at common law and equity are the usual equitable remedies of declaration and injunction, as well as types of writ through which a court can quash an administrative decision as invalid, compel an administrator to carry out a duty or stop an administrator from taking action outside their authority.

	The Australian Constitution - Is it safe?
		That draft proposed that the Colonial Laws Validity Act of 1865 be repealed and that the powers of the parliament of a Dominion should include the power to repeal or amend any act of the parliament of the United kingdom in so far as the same part was part of the law of the Dominion.
		It was of fundamental importance to Australia that the constitution should be supreme over the legislatures and it was feared that the repeal of the Colonial Laws Validity Act may allow the Australian Parliament to alter the Australian Commonwealth Constitution Act and thereby amend or repeal the Constitution itself.
		If most Australians do not understand their Constitution itself, then, it would not be too hard to visualise that most voters were probably not aware of the proposed changes to both of the Australia Acts prior to the 6 November 1999 republic referendum.
