Text The Conversation: the Australian Constitution

TLF ID M020900

A series of explanatory articles about how the Australian constitution is interpreted and its impact on the legal system and legislature. The series includes practical examples of when and how it has been applied, constitutional challenges including the issues surrounding indigenous recognition. Articles are authored by recognised experts on the topic. The resource can be used to develop a broad understanding of the issues around the interpretation and application of the constitution and for discussions around why and if it should be changed. The articles are clearly written in plain language, and can be used as examples of persuasive writing. Each article is about 600-800 words.
