Sixth edition of text first published in 1974 as 'The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia Annotated'. It elucidates the Australian Constitution section by section for practitioners, law students and students in related disciplines. This edition has been extensively rewritten and redesigned to make it more accessible. Also incorporates the many changes in constitutional law since the previous, 1995 edition. Discussion of recently decided cases cover issues such as corporations power, validity of native title, the external affairs power, implied freedoms, the judicial power, excise duties, and the United Kingdom as a 'foreign power'. Includes complete text of the 'Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act' (1900), appendix, references and index. Volume's revised title acknowledges its original author, Richard Darrell Lumb (1934-1997) and Moens (co-author with Lumb of the previous edition, and co-author of this edition).
