The Constitution of New South WalesThe Constitution of New South Wales provides for the first time a detailed analysis of all the provisions of the Constitution Act 1902 (NSW), including their legislative history and examples of their use. It covers the constitution; operation and interaction of the State legislature, executive, and judiciary; and the relationship between the State and the Commonwealth in the federal system. Most importantly, it deals with all the issues necessary to determine the validity of State laws, including: the legislative power of the State Parliament; limitations on legislative power derived from different sources; the effectiveness of State manner and form constraints and the consequences of their breach; and legislative procedure. While the book uses the Constitution Act 1902 (NSW) as its focus, it addresses constitutional issues arising in all Australian States, such as parliamentary privilege, electoral law, and parliamentary procedure. |
