Each chapter contains unique insights and stands on its own as a significant scholarly contribution. But read cover to cover, the effect is compounded, leading inexorably to a more synoptic and textured understanding of the major principles, doctrines and themes of Australian constitutional law. ... The book gives the reader a great deal to ponder, and will - it can safely be predicted - lead to further academic analysis and jurisprudential development. It is indeed a remarkable publication. * Daniel Reynolds, Australian Law Journal *
