The Constitution of Victoria

Autor Greg Taylor
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2006
This is the standard reference work on the Constitution of Victoria. Since the election of the Bracks government and its gaining a majority in both Houses of Parliament, the Victorian Constitution has undergone far-reaching change, making it markedly different from other Australian State Constitutions in a number of respects. This work analyses and comments on the new and old provisions of the Victorian Constitution and is essential for understanding the effect of the changes, some of which are of doubtful validity.

Recenzii

… a scholarly and comprehensive excursion through the intricacies of the legal foundation of the political entity ― the State of Victoria. … The book … is a valuable and scholarly contribution to an important, but often underestimated area of public law in Australia. The work is written in an easy style and usefully concentrates on the current Victorian constitutional position. Accordingly, this book is not some musty tome about arcane practices largely rooted in a dim colonial past, but is a modern, up-to-date and scholarly work dealing with a Constitution of relevance and importance to all Victorians. This relevance is highlighted by the significant recent electoral chances that passed their first test in the 2006 Victorian State Election. The Constitution of Victoria should have a place on the bookshelves of lawyers, parliamentarians and politicians, judicial officers, public servants and those interested [in] questions of public law in Australia generally and Victoria more generally.
