Hanks Australian Constitutional Law is the authoritative casebook for the study of constitutional law. This book considers the concepts underlying the Australian Constitution and explores constitutional decision-making in context. It reviews all of the important constitutional decisions of the High Court of Australia, and exposes the issues that arise in those decisions to a critical analysis. Updates for this edition include recent cases on: disqualification of members from the Houses of the Commonwealth Parliament, particularly under s 44(i) of the Constitution for foreign citizenship; Indigenous Australians and the aliens power; the implied freedom of political communication; and Chapter III of the Constitution, including cases on the Kable principle, the entrenchment of judicial review and due process protections. - Publisher's website.
