James has a story to tell - and what a story. If you have ever worked in a casino - read on, if you've ever gambled in a casino - read on, or if you'd just like to read about a life of adventure and mayhem starting in 1960's Glasgow (and James is still involved in casinos) - then this is the story for you... You won't regret it! When a family friend offers a young working class lad in Scotland the chance to work in a local casino little does he know the life of adventure which is about to begin. The author describes in tremendous detail the working life of a casino and the antics and scrapes of life outside work - whether he is in GLASGOW, LONDON, NIGERIA, IRAN, YUGOSLAVIA, GREECE, EGYPT OR OTHER EXOTIC LOCATIONS.
It has been seven years since the last edition of Professor Zines's classic book, The High Court and the Constitution. In that time the High Court has handed down a range of important decisions transforming, extending and developing existing constitutional law principles. The 6th edition of the book, by Dr James Stellios, contains analysis and critique of the High Court's jurisprudence over that period. Changes have been made to all chapters to update the existing law. However, the most significant updates relate to:The reformulation of the Commonwealth's executive power to contract and spend following the High Court's decisions in Pape and the two Williams cases;The High Court's continuing development of Chapter III principles, particularly its renewed interest in the Kable limitation on State Parliaments;The uncertainties appearing in recent High Court cases on the implied freedom of political communication;The High Court's application of s 92 to national markets in the internet-based new economy.________________________________________________From the Launch in Sydney..."It is a very great pleasure to launch the 6th edition of The High Court and the Constitution and to congratulate James Stellios on his success in maintaining, and perhaps enhancing, the very high quality of Leslie Zines' previous editions. ... it remains for me to state expressly what has been implied in every sentence of this speech. This is a great book. It is truly an Australian classic which is of value to both sophisticated lawyers, students and those who are interested in the Australian Constitution and the High Court and how each of them works." Read launch speech...From the Launch Speech by The Hon Sir Anthony Mason AC KBE GBM
Chapter III of the Constitution is at the centre of the constitutional structures of government in Australia. Its provisions create the federal judicature and define the way in which it operates. Its interpretation has had a pivotal role in the design and operation of all institutions of government at the Federal, State and Territory levels. However, despite its central place in Australia's constitutional framework, Chapter III is not widely understood. This book is designed as an introduction to this important part of the Constitution.
The new edition covers constitutional law as well as public law and is presented in an attractive new design. This classic work, first written by P. J. Hanks QC more than 35 years ago, is the authoritative book for the study of constitutional law. This book considers the concepts underlying our Constitution and explores constitutional decisionmaking in context. The title 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. The new edition of this highly respected work is restructured and gives a current and comprehensive account of this area of law in 10 concise chapters. Australian Constitutional Law: Materials and Commentary covers all major areas of study, in constitutional law as well as in public law. Important Features: An attractive new internal design clearly distinguishes different features in the book. Students have online access to cases. This work covers all major areas of study, in constitutional law as well as in public law. Recent important cases are covered: Betfair Pty Ltd v Western Australia; Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Club v Commissioner of Police; New South Wales v Commonwealth (the Work Choices case); Roach v Electoral Commissioner; and Thomas v Mowbray.
International law is a rapidly growing area and Australian cases are mounting. In view of world events over the last few years, it is timely for a case book to highlight that Australia is part of an international community and is subject to international law.
