| Summary: | "In this new book, Helen Irving delves into the mystery that is the Australian Constitution by discussing the major national debates of recent years. Many people want to understand and take part in the debate about constitutional issues but they face a significant hurdle: the Constitution is almost impenetrable. In many of its sections, it does not mean what it says, nor does it say what it means. There are many myths in circulation about what the Constitution says and as many assumptions about what it does. Helen Irving, one of this country's foremost constitutional experts, shows where the mystery lies, putting various constitutional confusions to rest, and inviting a general audience into an understanding of the issues that were once reserved for experts."--Jacket. |
