Aristotle’s concepts have much resonance with us today. Although there are differences in the way in which we perceive things, basically we all share the same aspirations and needs.\n\nThis new edition will be of value to the globally-focused engineer and scientist; it includes case studies from both developed and developing nations to help students and practitioners unravel the complexities of ethical practice in the 21st Century. It is testament to the global and indefatigable nature of our scientific community that 2,300 years after Aristotle, we might derive the same conclusions as he did. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4esethicsengineeringeconomicsandenvironment2e_johnstjames_stewartbuckeridge.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20110207 Federation Press 21 02 34.95 AUD 01 31.772727272727273 AUD 1078 03 15 9781760024277 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b0e3d62b-a1ed-4777-b463-295f5e91e7c9 BC 1 A01 Lucy Geddes and Hamish McLachlan 374 10 LAW013000 12 2.1 LBBR 93 LNDC 01 05 Written by two practising human rights lawyers, this book looks at Australia’s 50 most significant human rights cases. These cases range from the seminal land rights case of Mabo and the celebrated freedom of speech cases of the 1990s, to lesser-known earlier cases on civil liberties and criminal procedure and more recent advances in the area of LGBTIQ+ rights, environmental rights, and the rights of people with disabilities. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/50HRCTCA_geddes.png 01 Federation Press 20230216 Federation Press 21 02 69.95 AUD 01 63.59 AUD 459 03 15 9781862875098 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 378740a2-1c8d-46b8-8cd5-2c1bc5237d58 BC 1 A01 Joan Kimm 224 10 SOC062000 12 2.1 JFSL9 93 JBSL11 01 05 <P>Why do Aboriginal women in Australia experience such high levels of violence in their own communities? In this considered and carefully researched book, Joan Kimm discusses the extent and nature of the violence, its underlying causes, current policies that deal with it, and changes that might improve these policies. \n<P>Her work covers: \n<UL>\n<LI>the devastating legacy of European colonialism on Indigenous culture, \n<LI>modern anthropological evidence about patriarchy and violence in traditional Aboriginal societies, \n<LI>beliefs held by Aboriginals, particularly men, about their cultural heritage, \n<LI>the impact of cultural heritage upon modern Indigenous society, and \n<LI>changing judicial attitudes to sentencing Aboriginal men for violence to Aboriginal women, shifting from emphasis on the men’s cultural background to emphasis on the women’s rights as victims. </LI></UL>\n<P>Kimm shows how this multi-faceted environment, particularly the interaction of two patriarchal laws, has had, and continues to have, very real destructive effects on Aboriginal women. \n<P>Kimm argues powerfully that Aboriginal women, like all women, like all humans, have the universal right to lives free of violence. She contends that current law, policy and practice place too much emphasis on their rights as Indigenous people and too little on their rights as women. A shift in emphasis will be an important first step to safer lives.</P>\n 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/afatalconjunction_joankimm.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20040630 Federation Press 21 02 29.95 AUD 01 27.227272727272723 AUD 922 03 15 9781760021429 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 25e4d455-c865-46ec-8107-e9b858c10ecc BC 1 A01 David Barker 288 10 LAW059000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAT 01 05 <em>A History of Australian Legal Education</em> examines the history and development of legal education in Australia by tracing the establishment of university law schools and other forms of legal education in the States and Territories from the time of European settlement in 1788 to the present day. While early Australian legal education was founded on historic practices adopted in England and Wales over many centuries, the circumstances of the Australian colonies, and later States, have led to a unique historical trajectory.\n\nThe book considers the critical role played by legal education in shaping the culture of law and thus determining how well the legal system operates in practice. In addition, it examines a major challenge for legal educators, namely, the tension between 'training' and 'educating', which has given rise to a plethora of inquiries and reports in Australia. In the final analysis, it argues that legal education can satisfactorily meet the twin objectives of training individuals as legal practitioners and providing a liberal education that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge and transferable skills. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/historyofaustralianlegaleducation_davidbarker.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20170630 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 401 03 15 9781862874398 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 3e67da17-01be-481e-a302-05359a2e34dc BB 1 A01 G D Woods 480 10 LAW060000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAZ 01 05 New South Wales is that rare political creation, a state founded for and upon the criminal law. The history of its criminal law from settlement to Federation is uniquely fascinating. Drawing on his range of experience as a university scholar, a criminal law QC and a judge, the author explains how Britain's criminal laws were established and developed in its (arguably) most successful colony. There are three themes:\n<ul>\n <li>the horror and savagery of the criminal law transported to Australia and imposed there;</li>\n <li>the constitutional importance of basic criminal law rules requiring certainty of proof;</li>\n <li>the corrupt but necessary role of mercy in the administration of the law.</li>\n</ul>\nThere are several genuinely remarkable features of this book. One is that the author draws upon a vast body of material recently brought to light by Bruce Kercher in his massive disinterment of early colonial case law, to explain in detail the actual working of the New South Wales criminal courts.\n\nAnother is that the core of the book is an analysis of New South Wales parliamentary debates between 1871 and 1883 on criminal law, illuminating the history of the law (and its future). Yet the most remarkable thing of all about this book is its rarity. In the many places where the British Empire imposed its laws, there are hundreds of universities and centres of legal study.\n\nHistories of the criminal law, or studies which can be so described, are rare or invisible. This admirable study will become a classic in its field, required reading by legal scholars, historians of colony and empire, and by astute legal practitioners making arguments for contemporary submissions or judgments.\n\nThe<a href="../bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781760021931"> second volume </a> (Woods, 2018) continues the still-fascinating story from 1901 (when the colony became a state) through until mid-20th century, when the death penalty was effectively abolished. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ahistoryofcriminallawinnewsouthwales_gdwoods.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20021129 Federation Press 21 02 69.5 AUD 01 63.18181818181818 AUD 971 03 15 9781760021931 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 4f5c3648-aa7f-45f8-b4e2-fb5dab3327af BB 1 A01 G D Woods 896 10 LAW060000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAZ 01 05 <p>New South Wales was from its origins uniquely connected with the criminal law. The second volume of <em>A History of Criminal Law in New South Wales</em> begins where the <a href="../bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781862874398"> first volume </a>left off in 1901 when the colony became a state.</p>\n<p>This is not simply a volume of technicalities and chronologies. Woods relates themes such as criminal punishment, the two World Wars, and the gradualism of change to the characters who inhabit the world of criminal practice, the courts and the gaols. John Norton and Paddy Crick are on the loose again for the first time since 1958, when Cyril Pearl immortalised them in <em>Wild Men of Sydney</em>. Riveting figures haunt these pages, such as Woolcott Forbes, the famous corporate fraudster of the 1930s and 1940s known in the press as “The Bullfighter”; a policeman with the improbable name of Mendelssohn Bartholdy Miller; and Major Charles Cousens, the plum-voiced prisoner-of-war and radio who faced charges of treason when he was returned to Australia at war’s end.</p>\n<p>These and dozens of other characters (including notable judges, magistrates and practitioners) populate this continuation of the history of criminal law in New South Wales up to the mid-20th century when the death penalty was effectively abolished. Woods draws on his wide experience of the criminal law as an academic, law reformer, barrister and judge to describe the development of the law in its social, economic and political contexts. <em>A History of Criminal Law in New South Wales</em> is an essential and fascinating read for legal practitioners and historians.</p>\n<p><strong>**Listen to interview:</strong> Greg Woods QC on ABC Radio National, <em>A History of Criminal Law in NSW </em>on Late Night Live with Phillip Adams_ 12th August 2019.

As policy demands change and funding pressures mount, federal reform is always on the agenda. Yet, as demonstrated by the failure of recent reform attempts, change is never easy. This book takes a fresh look at the challenges and options facing would-be federal reformers. It brings together experts from a variety of backgrounds, many of whom argue that, for reform to succeed in an enduring way, it must engage meaningfully with the citizenry to evolve policy structures in tax, government service delivery and intergovernmental collaboration. Accordingly, many chapters focus on placing the recent Reform of the Federation White Paper process in its domestic and international context. Some chapters explore the desirable values underpinning federal reform. Others detail practical considerations around dividing roles and responsibilities between levels of government, intergovernmental collaboration and financial relations. Still others examine how to engage the public in participation and deliberation over the reform process. This book arrives at a crucial time in federal reform and provides a unique interdisciplinary contribution to the federalism literature.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/peoplesfederation_markbruerton.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20170918 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 149 03 15 9781862872363 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 6c8bbd12-d70d-47b6-a458-1fc2d763b545 BC 1 A01 Garfield Barwick 334 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 <P>Sir Garfield Barwick wrote the story of his public life. At the age of 92, he had been at the centre of Australian legal and political life for over half a century. </P>\n<P>The story starts in the inner suburbs of Sydney walking to the renowned Fort Street High School. Sydney University in the 1920s follows and a struggling career at the Bar takes hold before all is lost in the Great Depression. </P>\n<P>Civilian service in World War II was followed by triumph in the Bank Nationalisation Case. The defeat of the Chifley Government’s legislation established Sir Garfield’s reputation as an advocate in Australia and in the United Kingdom. It led to a decade of unparalleled dominance of the Australian Bar when he continually appeared in the High Court and led in such public inquiries as the Petrov Royal Commission. </P>\n<P>It also established Sir Garfield in the public mind as a Liberal Party man and in 1958, at the age of 56, he entered Parliament. He served six years, almost all on the front bench as a reforming Attorney-General as Minister for External Affairs focussing on Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. </P>\n<P>He resigned to become Chief Justice of the High Court in 1964 and in the next 18 years gave judgments delineating power in modern Australia: citizen and government, States and the Commonwealth, executive and legislature. Most notably, he provided crucial and controversial advice to the Governor-General in the 1975 Dismissal Crisis.</P> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Garwick-A-Radical-Tory.jpg 01 The Federation Press 19960923 Federation Press 21 02 35 AUD 01 31.818181818181817 AUD 1064 03 15 9781760023638 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 620adf4d-7ab1-4b82-8ea9-ac3bc36e6e43 BC 1 A01 David Barker 254 10 LAW059000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAT 01 05 This book recounts the history and development of the Australian Academy of Law from its early beginnings in 1996, through its official launch in July 2007 at Government House in Brisbane to the end of 2020. It traces the influence on its development exercised by the recommendations of the Australian Law Reform Commission in 2000 in its Report Managing Justice – A Review of the Federal Civil Justice System (ALRC Report 89). Sponsored by the Academy, the book has the advantage that its author, David Barker, has been involved with the organisation from the beginning, then later as a Foundation Fellow and as its Secretary to the present time. His early involvement has meant that he has been able to observe the influence on its development exercised by both its Foundation and current Fellows, its three Presidents, all of whom have been Judges of the Federal Court of Australia, and its three Patrons, all of whom have been Chief Justices of the High Court of Australia. The book will be of great interest to those concerned with the Academy’s role within modern Australian legal history and its future influence on the legal community. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cover-art-Barker-A-History-of-the-Australian-Academy-of-Law.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20220601 Federation Press 21 02 69.9 AUD 01 63.55 AUD 873 03 15 9781760020484 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 659b136c-dcbd-4a06-828d-0a9eea451a1f BC 1 A01 Tracey Booth 208 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 <em>Prominent criminologist David Garland has argued that VISs have led us into ‘unfamiliar territory where the ideological grounds are far from clear and the old assumptions an unreliable guide’.</em>\n\nA victim impact statement (VIS) is a highly nuanced and individual narrative that can operate as both an informational device in the sentencing process and an expressive mechanism for crime victims. From the law perspective, VISs provide the court with details of harm caused by the offence and the consequences of the offending in order to further purposes of sentencing. As an expressive mechanism, VISs offer victims the opportunity and space to express their feelings, tell their personal story of the aftermath of crime, and be heard by the court, the offender, and the wider community.\n\nThough a well-established feature of contemporary sentencing hearings (at least in superior courts) VISs remain controversial in common law jurisdictions. The ‘non-legal’ nature of VISs has generated uncertainty in relation to the functioning of the sentencing hearing and concerns have been raised that VISs are: inconsistent with established legal values, detrimental to the offender’s entitlement to a fair hearing, detrimental to victims’ wellbeing, and harmful to the integrity of the legal proceedings.\n\n<em>Accommodating Justice: Victim Impact Statements in the Sentencing Process</em> explores the complex territory where VISs, the law and legal institutions intersect with a focus on the requirements of fairness, most particularly in the courtroom. And it does so from multiple perspectives: courts, offenders and victims. The book draws from a range of theoretical and doctrinal sources as well as empirical studies from Australia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. An ethnographic study of the performance of VISs in homicide sentencing hearings in the NSW Supreme Court woven through most chapters provides an innovative and evidence-based approach to the issues. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/accommodatingjustice_traceybooth.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20151221 Federation Press 21 02 85 AUD 01 77.272727272727266 AUD 765 03 15 9781862878914 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f9871b6c-2f4f-4afd-9b7a-a9633d928b6a BC 1 A01 Kris Chikarovski 2 A01 Robert Deutsch 176 10 BUS001000 12 2.1 JFSL9 93 KFC 01 05 The focus of <em>Deutsch and Chikarovski’s Accounting for Non-Accountants – A Question and Answer Handbook</em>, is to promote an understanding of the fundamentals of accounting and financial statements. It is not a short cut to an in-depth knowledge of accounting. However the book will provide some useful insights to the language of accounting, the key principles involved and the sources and use of accounting information commonly encountered.\n\nThe book should therefore be useful for lawyers and other users of accounting information to guide their understanding of that information. You might for example be:\n<ul>\n <li>a barrister involved in a commercial matter requiring the review of the financial statements of a listed company</li>\n <li>a family law solicitor looking at the accounts of family entities as part of a property settlement</li>\n <li>an immigration lawyer presenting accounts as part of a visa application</li>\n <li>a small business operator reviewing the accounts of your business</li>\n <li>a so called ‘mum and dad’ investor reviewing the accounts of the listed company that you have acquired shares in recently or a student studying business, accounting or commerce</li>\n</ul>\nThis book is intended to be a useful guide for all such readers and others.\n\nInformation in the book is presented in an easy to follow question and answer format. Each answer is supported by examples where relevant based on sample financial information included in an appendix. Key accounting terms are also highlighted in bold and explained in a Glossary section at the end of the book. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/accountingfornonaccountants_robertdeutsch_kimchikarovski.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20121019 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 1057 03 15 9781760023218 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 2ab0c62c-9dfd-4e36-807a-649f020e3584 BC 1 A01 Philip Davenport 3 420 10 LAW019000 12 2.1 LNCQ 93 LNCQ 01 05 <p>Many in the construction industry, and their professional advisers, remain unaware of the scheme for compulsory rapid adjudication which has now been adopted throughout Australia outside WA and NT.

The sudden onset of the gold rushes in New South Wales and Victoria in 1851 created an immediate necessity for a system of resolving disputes among gold miners. Despite a large literature on the gold rushes generally, virtually nothing has been written on the adjudication systems.</p>\n<p>The aim of this work is to examine what these systems were, to discover what records of them have survived and to expose samples of those records. The work concentrates on the period from 1851 to 1875 when the adjudication systems were at their most active. It records the changing legislative provisions relating to adjudication in that period. It explores and contrasts the success of the early system in New South Wales with its failure in Victoria.</p>\n<p>The book explores what records survive of adjudications in both colonies and incorporates samples of them. It examines in some detail the career of Thomas Alexander Browne (who was the novelist Rolf Boldrewood) as the Commissioner at Gulgong in the early 1870s and who, atypically of Gold Fields Commissioners, was at odds with his community. It also examines the reported cases in the Supreme Courts concerning gold fields adjudication. The work thus presents, for the first time, an account of these adjudicative systems.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/adjudicationonthegoldfieldsinnewsouthwales_johnphamilton.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20151203 Federation Press 21 02 135 AUD 01 122.72727272727272 AUD 854 03 15 9781760020279 01 ONIX_NOSEQ d36c5589-514e-4d3d-9cf0-69f290eb462c BZ 1 B01 Debra Mortimer 208 10 LAW001000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDB 01 05 <p>The Federal Court of Australia exercises principal trial and intermediate appellate jurisdiction in relation to federal administrative law in Australia, a jurisdiction which is central to the Court’s existence and function.

The book examines executive power, judicial and tribunal review and integrity bodies like Ombudsmen. The opening papers consider separation of powers issues. Justice Stephen Gageler asks if three arms of government remains a suitable model. Do we need a fourth? Greg Weeks’ paper explains how bodies that would be in that fourth arm are vulnerable. Justice John Basten examines key questions between the executive and judiciary, while Justice John Griffiths considers those issues in visa cancellation decisions. Other papers examine different accountability mechanisms – tribunals, Ombudsmen and information. Justice Janine Pritchard explains how litigation processes can obtain otherwise obscure material. Judith Bannister analyses what happens when governments fail to disclose information. Mark Aronson and Anita Stuhmcke each consider what happens when Ombudsmen get drawn into litigation and messy cases. Other papers examine the work of tribunals. Graeme Hill examines the constitutional place of tribunals, especially in light of <em>Burns v Corbett</em> (2018).

While his judgments are his most enduring and primary contribution to the law, in hundreds of occasional speeches he explained the role and importance of the rule of law, and of the institutions through which it is maintained.</p>\n<p>Although Murray Gleeson is known as a judge, he is also one of our great legal writers. The selected papers are models of elegant expression, clarity of thought, deep contemplation and scholarship. They cover several broad themes: the rule of law, advocacy, judging, legal history, the judiciary as an arm of government, the application of legal principle, and international commercial arbitration.</p>\n<p>As James Spigelman acutely observes, Murray Gleeson’s patient and seemingly tireless effort in explaining the significance of the rule of law and legal institutions is “a critical aspect of judicial leadership. That is particularly so in an era, such as the period covered herein, when institutions are being attacked and, even, subverted”. These speeches are part of the legacy that Murray Gleeson has bequeathed to his successors in the law and to the Australian community.</p>\n<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">From the Book Launch <em>Advocacy and Judging: Selected Papers of Murray Gleeson</em>, address by The Hon Susan Kiefel AC, Chief Justice of the High Court, 8 September 2017...</span></strong></p>\n<p>"It is an honour to be invited to launch this book and to say something about it and its author with whom I had the good fortune to serve on the High Court before his retirement. … <br />         A good public speaker is someone who is able to interest his or her audience in what is said and to stimulate thinking on a topic.

What is uncertain is the limits of the jurisdiction to amend final judgments and orders. The scope of the slip rule in particular has expanded significantly in Australia in recent decades resulting in more cases in this area including a number of cases before the High Court of Australia. The book examines the inherent power to amend judgments and orders and the history of the slip rule. The issue of the coexistence of the power to amend judgments and orders and statutory deadlines is examined in detail as this issue remains the most controversial. There are a number of discretionary factors that courts consider when determining whether or not to amend final judgments and orders and these are examined together with a number of practical issues that arise in relation to amending judgments and orders.</p>\n<p><em>"The question of whether a court has power to alter a final judgment it has given to correct a mistake or oversight, or should exercise that power if it exists, arises frequently in the Australian courts. In the national court system as a whole, it would be a rare working day on which it did not arise somewhere at least once...This book fills a gap in the legal literature by collecting relevant English and Australian authorities on this topic, organising them systematically, and digesting and discussing them. The manner of its division into chapters and headings is an important part of the text, because it is the chapters and headings that impose a comprehensible conceptual structure on the subject... The tracing of the historical development of the law, within a particular chapter or heading, can help identify those cases that can no longer be relied on, and the areas of present uncertainty or development...I welcome the publication of the book.

Regionally and globally, there are discrete animal law units available to students and an increasing number of animal law research hubs. This new book on animal law taps into the strong interest in the area and provides a critical exploration of current issues in animal law. The ‘quiet crisis’ referred to in the subtitle acknowledges that while the area of animal law may be more popular, there remain many troubling and little discussed aspects of present-day human-animal relations. The book covers many of the systemic problems that exist in our treatment of non-human animals. Some of these are long standing; others have become more acute in recent years, such as the impact of climate change and the implications of pandemics caused by zoonotic diseases. Structured around three parts, the book covers three key themes. Part I of the book examines foundational concepts in animal law; Part II investigates key issues in contemporary animal law; and Part III reflects on law reform. The editors, Jane Kotzmann, Associate Professor at Deakin University, and Joanna Kyriakakis, Associate Professor at Monash University, have brought together an excellent group of contributors who are experts in the field. They include academics, lawyers, and policy advisors. Animal Law in Australasia provides students with the most up-to-date understanding of the significant themes and issues in animal law today. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/KotzmannKyriakakis_AnimalLawinAustralasia-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250515 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.64 AUD 1082 03 15 9781760024376 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a786ace3-102a-4aa2-9bc9-c57d12c48558 BC 1 A01 Peter Sutherland 12 1056 10 LAW001000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDB 01 05 The 12th edition of the Annotated Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 includes: • the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 current at 1 February 2023; • annotations of Court and Tribunal decisions to 1 February 2023; • the current Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Regulations 2019 and Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Directions 2019.

These associations range from local social, sporting or community clubs or associations to large charities and professional or semi-professional sporting associations organized on a national or State level.\n\nA predecessor of this short, practical book was variously described as “”a very useful book”, “a practical work, short and crisp”, “an excellent publication”, “a useful reference book” and “highly recommended”.\n\nThis new edition is prompted by major changes to the legislation across Australia, including new statutes in the Northern Territory and New South Wales and large amendments in most other jurisdictions. These have resulted in a more consistent approach to the most crucial regulatory issues, a trend towards a more national approach which is reflected in many of the numerous recent cases, especially those concerning disputes and discipline and the rights of members of an association.\n\nThis is a must-have for anyone involved in the not-for-profit sector and their legal advisors. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/associationsandclubslaw3e_assievers.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20101007 Federation Press 21 02 39.95 AUD 01 36.31818181818182 AUD 500 03 15 9781862875623 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 30801417-2d74-4c40-9eec-9d739b4e232d BC 1 A01 Annemarie Devereux 292 10 HIS004000 12 2.1 LBBR 93 NHM 01 05 <DT><I>Australia and the Birth of the International Bill of Human Rights</I> provides the first in depth examination of Australia’s first reactions to ‘international human rights’ during the negotiations for the International Bill of Rights: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ICCPR and ICESCR. \n<P></P>\n<DT>It follows Australian policy from 1946, the first year in which the United Nations began discussing a Bill of Rights until 1966 when the twin Covenants were finalized. The book looks at what successive Australian Governments understood by ‘human rights’ and how they responded to discussion of sensitive domestic topics such as: \n<DT>\n<UL>\n<LI>immigration policies \n<LI>self-determination for inhabitants of trust territories \n<LI>equal pay for men and women and balancing human rights and national security. </LI></UL>\n<DT>As well as considering Australian policies towards substantive rights, the book looks at Australian policies towards international schemes for protecting rights including early proposals for an International Court of Human Rights and its later support for more modest, technical expertise based assistance for States, debates often taking place against the background of highly politicised issues such as the Cold War and the fight against apartheid. \n<P></P>\n<DT>In looking at this 20 year period, the book demonstrates the way in which Australian policy changed substantially over time: as between Labor and Liberal administrations, between Ministers and bureaucrats and as between decision makers with markedly distinct visions of the ideal relationship between citizens and a State, and the individual State and the international community. \n<P></P>\n<DT>In highlighting the diversity of views about human rights, this book thus challenges the notion that Australia has historically supported a universally understood set of human rights norms and underlines the number of variables which may be affecting ongoing implementation of human rights standards. </DT>\n 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/australiaandthebirhtoftheinternationalhumanrights_annemariedevereux.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20051026 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 838 03 15 9781862879874 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b6af919c-e8b7-4995-9c00-16eb923235fb BZ 1 A01 Alison Pert 288 10 LAW001000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDB 01 05 From time to time, politicians describe Australia as a “good international citizen”. But what does this mean, exactly? What constitutes good international citizenship? And does Australia really qualify as a good international citizen? This book attempts to answer these questions. Very little has been written about good international citizenship. Most of the limited literature is by international relations scholars and practitioners and therefore naturally tends to focus on Australian foreign policy. Nobody has ventured a definition of the term, or even a list of qualities that a good international citizen should possess. This book therefore begins by proposing such a list, and identifies two particularly important elements: compliance with international law, and support for multilateralism. Using these elements as a yardstick, Dr Pert then seeks to measure Australia’s good international citizenship throughout its post-Federation history. Account is given of the shenanigans of Billy Hughes at the 1919 peace conference in Versailles (not a great example of good international citizenship); the forgotten contribution to international economic and social cooperation of Stanley Bruce in the late 1930s; “Doc” Evatt’s astonishing performance at San Francisco in 1945, where the United Nations Charter was negotiated, and his personal influence on the form the new world organisation was to take; the almost dormant Menzies years; the Whitlam revolution and re-engagement with the world; and the Fraser reaction. The analysis continues with the Hawke/Keating, Howard, and Rudd/Gillard governments. One of the main conclusions the book draws from this analysis is that states – whether Australia or others such as the archetypically “good” Scandinavian states – can be paragons of good international citizenship in one area (say, overseas aid) but the opposite in another (such as repulsion of asylum-seekers, or arms exports). Thus, it argues, “good international citizenship” is not a blanket term that can be applied to a state. Instead, a state can be a good international citizen in some areas, and quite the opposite in others. A full account of how Australia rates from this perspective is given from Federation to the demise of the second Rudd government in 2013. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Pert.-Good-International-Citizen.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20141208 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.64 AUD 935 03 15 9781760021559 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 105f2014-099d-4b74-95d3-0ca42e354b64 BC 1 A01 Dominique Allen 2 A01 Neil Rees 3 A01 Simon Rice 3 1088 10 LAW094000 12 2.1 LNHD 93 LNHD 01 05 This new edition of Australia’s most comprehensive book on anti-discrimination law has been fully revised and updated, re-written and reformatted to enhance its accessibility.

Since the landmark enactment of the <em>Seas and Submerged Lands Act </em>1973 (Cth), and the subsequent High Court decision in <em>NSW v Commonwealth</em>, there have been rapid developments in Australian coastal and marine law and policy. The Offshore Constitutional Settlement paved the way for offshore management between the Commonwealth, States and the Northern Territory, and from this foundation a raft of new environmental laws were adopted in the 1980s and 1990s, often promoted by international developments such as the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, or through new marine pollution conventions adopted by the International Maritime Organisation.</p>\n<p>In the last decade as a result of the increased profile associated with concerns over climate change, whaling, and major maritime incidents such as the <em>Pasha Bulker </em>(2007), <em>Pacific Adventurer </em>(2009), the <em>Montara </em>oil platform spill (2009), and <em>Shen Neng I </em>(2010) there has been greater environmental consciousness and concern about the need to have a comprehensive legal framework in place to deal with these issues.</p>\n<p>The book particularly reflects upon how Australian law regulates and manages a range of environmental issues which arise in the coastal zone and the marine environment. The Australian maritime domain is the focus of analysis, including all areas within State and Territorial jurisdiction, and areas within Commonwealth control and regulation. Activities that are subject to specific consideration include the continental shelf, fishing, indigenous rights, marine parks, marine pollution, ports and harbours, and shipping.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/australiancoastalandmarinelaw_donaldrrothwell_rachelbaird.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20111125 Federation Press 21 02 135 AUD 01 122.72727272727272 AUD 1036 03 15 9781760022532 01 ONIX_NOSEQ e7f21212-7e27-4d93-acc1-c99be258f846 BB 1 B01 John Eldridge 2 B01 Timothy Pilkington 352 10 LAW021000 12 2.1 LNCJ 93 LNCJ 01 05 There can be little doubt that Australian contract law today exists as a discrete and rich subject which merits serious study. This volume seeks to examine key questions and debates in respect of this body of law. Although appropriate attention is paid to developments in English law – which none would deny continues to be an important source of law for Australia – the focus is nonetheless thoroughly antipodean.\n\nAlong with its focus on Australia, this volume is avowedly concerned with debates and issues which are of contemporary importance. It seeks to canvass a range of topics that are of significance today, and which are likely to continue to be of special relevance in the coming years.\n\nThe book is divided into three parts. The first focuses upon issues relating to the content of the primary and secondary contractual rights that contracting parties may have. Particular attention is given to the law relating to contractual money awards which, in recent decades, has given rise to extensive debate. The second part of the book focuses upon issues that have emerged at the intersection of contract doctrine and other bodies of principle. The third part of the book focuses on certain issues relating to specific types of contracts.\n\n<em>Australian Contract Law in the 21st Century</em> features contributions from leading scholars and practitioners and contains a foreword by Professor The Hon William Gummow AC. It is essential reading for Australian lawyers drafting and litigating contracts, for those teaching the subject, and those who are called upon to adjudicate contractual disputes. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/austcontractlaw21st_eldridgepilkington-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210310 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 145.45454545454544 AUD 1117 03 15 9781760025526 01 ONIX_NOSEQ efc999d2-6598-4902-a9ea-fc52a98af11f BB 1 A01 Dean Mildren 544 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 This new book by retired Supreme Court Justice, the Hon Dean Mildren, author of The Appellate Jurisdiction of the Courts in Australia, is the first book to provide an overview of criminal trial practice and procedure that covers every Australian jurisdiction. Since the middle of the 20th century the practice of criminal law has undergone fundamental modification as a consequence of rapid social and technological change. The new procedures are the result of legislation and case law in each of the nine jurisdictions where criminal law is practised. Of growing importance has been the integration of Commonwealth legislation both in the traditional areas of criminal law, but also in new areas such as terrorism, national security and drugs. The consequences of a finding of guilt or of innocence following a criminal trial are examined as the idea that once the criminal trial and any sentence imposed is complete there are no further consequences is no longer true. While overall there are similar legislative provisions in each jurisdiction there are also many differences, particularly in the details. One of the aims of this work is to record the practice of criminal law in the whole of Australia so it can be used as a learning tool for those new to the area and as a ready reference for those already working in it, regardless of whether they are appearing in one or multiple jurisdictions. Another purpose is to enable comparisons to be made which may lead legislative drafters and legislators to improve on existing frameworks. The history of criminal practice is also explained where it is relevant to an understanding of its present stage of development. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/FP-HB-Mildren-AU-Criminal-Trial-Procedure-FRONT-ONLY.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250710 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 1039 03 15 9781760022556 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f46e9030-16a6-4848-82d6-ad1319b5dc97 BC 1 B01 Geoff Lindsay 2 B01 Wayne Hudson 350 10 LAW052000 12 2.1 LA 93 LA 01 05 <em>Australian Jurists and Christianity</em> provides new perspectives on the relationship between law and religion in Australia. It claims that the relationship between law and religion was more significant in Australia than has been suggested. Specifically, it suggests that Christianity was a significant influence on Australian jurists, both as public figures and as makers of Australian law.\n\nThe volume does this by means of case studies of some 24 leading Australian jurists: Lachlan Macquarie, James Stephen, Richard Bourke, John Hubert Plunkett, George Higinbotham, Samuel Griffith, Inglis Clark, Henry Bournes Higgins, Alfred Deakin, Edith Cowan, Lord Atkin, Robert Menzies, WJV Windeyer, Roma Mitchell, Gough Whitlam, Ron Wilson, Christopher Weeramantry, Gerard Brennan, William Deane, Robin Sharwood, Eddie Mabo, Murray Gleeson, Michael Kirby and John Hatzistergos.\n\nThe case studies are introduced by a substantive guide to the nature of Australian legal practice which brings out distinctive features of the Australian experience. The volume also offers suggestions for how the role of religion in Australian legal history might be rethought in the future.\n\nThis volume forms part of the international series <em>Great Christian Jurists</em> produced under the auspices of the <em>Center for the Study of Law and Religion</em> at Emory University and includes a foreword by Australia’s renowned legal historian, Bruce Kercher. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/australianjuristsandchristianity_lindsayhudson-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210119 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 1033 03 15 9781760022501 01 ONIX_NOSEQ fb19b6ee-0fb6-4c8d-8828-db7cdee52aba BB 1 A01 Michael White 2 A01 Sarah Derrington 4 830 10 LAW066000 12 2.1 LBDM 93 LBDM 01 05 Justice Sarah Derrington joins longstanding author, Dr Michael White OAM QC, for the fourth edition of this leading maritime law text. There has been much legislative change and development in the case law in the six-year period since the third edition, and the authors have thoroughly updated the text to capture the state of the law as it stands in 2020. Justice Derrington has principally contributed the chapters on the ‘dry’ aspects of shipping, while Dr White has mostly contributed the chapters on the ‘wet’ aspects of shipping.\n\nThere are 16 chapters, starting with Admiralty jurisdiction and the Australian constitutional background, then to the <em>Admiralty Act 1988</em> (Cth) and related matters. The chapters move on to cover the ‘dry’ shipping topics: carriage of goods by sea (in two parts); carriage of passengers; marine insurance and general average; ownership, registration, and securities; and navigation and shipping safety. The chapters addressing the ‘wet’ aspects of shipping concern: navigation, shipping, and safety; maritime labour law; collisions; salvage, wreck, and underwater cultural heritage; towage; pilotage; limitation of liability; marine pollution; and criminal jurisdiction. This fourth edition also includes a new section addressing some of the competition law issues relevant to shipping in Australia.\n\nAustralian Maritime Law remains a must-have reference work for all practitioners with any involvement in shipping in Australia.\n\nThis book is now available for <a href="https://www.vitalsource.com/en-au/products/australian-maritime-law-michael-white-sarah-v9781760022921?term=Australian+Maritime+Law"><strong><span style="color: #b91607;">purchase from VitalSource as an eBook</span></strong></a>. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/maritimelaw_white-3-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20201223 Federation Press 21 02 245 AUD 01 222.72727272727272 AUD 1061 03 15 9781760023355 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 358da950-a1e1-47d0-b561-276027b8007c BC 1 A01 Anita Stuhmcke 2 A01 Pam Stewart 5 944 10 LAW087000 12 2.1 LNV 93 LNV 01 05 The fifth edition of Australian Principles of Tort Law provides currency, depth of analysis and clear explanation of this challenging area of law. It explains common law doctrine and the operation of civil liability legislation across Australian jurisdictions. There is extensive discussion and analysis of the latest resources with particular focus on the scope and content of the growing body of case law on interpretation and application of Australian civil liability legislation. Stewart and Stuhmcke succeed in clarifying a conceptually difficult area of law across all Australian jurisdictions. They discuss an excellent range of cases (geographical and hierarchical), explain the relevance and applicability of the civil liability legislation, and detail the impact and importance of the relationship between the legislation and the common law of tort. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/FED-Stewart-Stuhmcke-5e-Cover.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20220216 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.64 AUD 1076 03 15 9781760024178 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 19ad3cec-4cda-44b7-a094-cd7e5398bb0c BC 1 B01 Belinda Bennett and Ian Freckelton 704 10 LAW046000 12 2.1 LNTJ 93 LNTJ 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/APHL_cover_final_no_shadow.jpg 01 Federation Press 20230331 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 145.46 AUD 1095 03 15 9781760024871 01 ONIX_NOSEQ fb0a7d6e-54ba-495b-9d18-dcfb3be66cd5 BB 1 B01 John Eldridge 2 B01 Timothy Pilkington 3 B01 David Rolph 305 10 LAW087000 12 2.1 LNV 93 LNV 01 05 Recent decades have seen the Australian law of torts undergo a significant transformation. The statutory regimes enacted in the wake of the Ipp Report have given rise to a considerable volume of case law. At the same time, the changing economic and social landscape has thrown up fresh challenges for the law to deal with. This volume – which is a companion to the well-received Australian Contract Law in the 21st Century – brings sustained attention to a number of subjects in this sphere which merit examination. The volume contains essays from leading commentators on the law of torts, and will be essential reading for academics, students, judges, and all practitioners involved in litigation or providing advice with respect to tort liability. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/9781760024871.jpg 01 Federation Press 20240222 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 833 03 15 9781862879805 01 ONIX_NOSEQ fa070b02-055b-4809-8fa6-0c669194ad0b BC 1 B01 Julie Stubbs 2 B01 Stephen Tomsen 288 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><em>Australia</em> (1990) by Elwyn Lynn</strong> </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Mixed media on canvas </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">150 x 150 cm </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">UNSW Art Collection (acquired from the CoFA Collection, 1990) </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">© The Estate of Elwyn Lynn, courtesy of Charles Nodrum Gallery<br /></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">______________________________________________</span></p>\n<p>Almost three decades have passed since a series of gun massacres shocked the nation and led to a major inquiry into Australian violence. Its ground breaking report unveiled the centrality of violence in our history and society – violence that commonly occurs in the routines and practices of everyday life – and the failings of the criminal justice system to deal with much of it.</p>\n<p><em>Australian Violence</em> reflects shifts in our understanding of violence and debates issues surrounding it. It offers contemporary analyses of violence in the lives of women and girls, male drinking violence, prison violence, gun debates and gun-owning culture, and more recent concerns with hate crime, rural crime, harm directed at animals, risky and 'dangerous' offenders, and borders and detention, as well as new forms of community prevention and alternative criminal justice. It acknowledges state violence in Australia’s history and present, in the dispossession of Indigenous people and the denial of Indigenous knowledge, and the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers. The book engages with international theory, research and practice but also offers a distinctive Australian approach that considers what it means to be a settler nation in the global south.</p>\n<p>The authors include scholars and researchers who have led critical study and national debates about these topics and perspectives on violence.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/australianviolence_tomsen_stubbs.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20160906 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 987 03 15 9781760022075 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 7029570b-efaa-45c8-85ac-9e7bb242a6fa BZ 1 A01 Mark Leeming 2 368 10 LAW003000 12 2.1 LNAC5 93 LNAC5 01 05 Since its initial publication in 2012, <em>Authority to Decide</em> has established itself as the pre-eminent resource for Australian practitioners and courts dealing with questions of jurisdiction. It has been cited regularly in judgments of the High Court of Australia, and in dozens of first instance and appellate judgments of other courts. Some of propositions advanced in the first edition have subsequently received judicial support, helping to shape the development of the law.\n\nEach chapter in the second edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate a wealth of new case law. The coverage of the work has also expanded. Highlights include:\n<ul>\n <li>Updated analysis of the investment of jurisdiction by the Commonwealth cross-vesting legislation, including its effect in bankruptcy, the jurisdiction of State and Territory courts in "special federal matters" and a new section on appeals which lie from State and Territory courts to federal courts.</li>\n <li>Extensive analysis of developments in jurisdictional error, including the High Court judgments in <em>Hossain</em> and <em>SZMTA</em>.</li>\n <li>Updated analysis of "accrued jurisdiction" (a term deprecated by the High Court in <em>Rizeq v Western Australia</em>) and the nature of decisions affected by jurisdictional error (including by reference to State of <em>New South Wales v Kable</em>).</li>\n <li>New sections on the jurisdictions of the New South Wales Court of Appeal and Court of Criminal Appeal.</li>\n</ul>\n<em>Authority to Decide</em> enables the reader to gain a deep and nuanced understanding of the complex legal principles governing issues of jurisdiction. It engages with the academic literature, but at its heart it remains a very practical work, offering guidance both to practitioners seeking to invoke the jurisdiction of a court, and to the judges exercising it. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/authoritytodecide_markleeming.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20200225 Federation Press 21 02 175 AUD 01 159.09090909090907 AUD 846 03 15 9781862879966 01 ONIX_NOSEQ bfa8347b-d241-4c03-b76b-974d9441bd11 BC 1 A01 Daniel Gurvich 2 A01 George Hampel 3 A01 Sarah Bruhn 2 160 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 <p>It is over 10 years since Professor George Hampel, former Supreme Court Judge and Daniel Gurvich, criminal law barrister published the first edition of <em>Bail Law in Victoria</em>.

But instead of thinking of law as a “closed” system that can only be understood through traditional legal research and analysis, it can be conceptualised as an “open” system in which insights, approaches, and influences from other disciplines can be brought to bear. Beyond Doctrine: Alternative and Critical Approaches to Law in Australia is the first comprehensive Australian resource for approaching law as something more than a system of rules. This edited collection includes contributions from an impressive array of Australian scholars, each of whom specialises in thinking about law from a different perspective. Whether viewing law as a tool to legitimise oppression (Marxism), as a mechanism to provide the most efficient outcomes (law and economics), as an artefact of particular historical events and forces (legal history), as a method to impose and undo gender hierarchies (Queer and feminist legal theory), as the means to explain – and perhaps ameliorate – the effects of the “Age of Discovery” (decolonialisation studies), and much more, these theories ask us to think more deeply about law and what it means. Beyond Doctrine provides an authoritative and thoughtful introduction to different legal methodologies and situates those methodologies in an Australian context. It will appeal to students of legal methodology courses and legal scholars. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Hobbs_Patrick_Beyond_Doctrine.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250811 Federation Press 21 02 130 AUD 01 118.19 AUD 1096 03 15 9781760024819 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0fa80c05-0fb1-400f-befc-3b43cdcd294a BC 1 A01 Peta Stephenson 2 A01 Rebecca Ananian-Welsh 3 A01 Andrew Lynch 4 A01 George Williams 5 A01 Sean Brennan 8 1576 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 An expanded author team brings fresh perspectives to the new edition of Blackshield and Williams Australian Constitutional Law and Theory.

The solution to the expansive tendencies of complex civil litigation, with its deleterious impact on cost and timeliness, is case management. The purpose of Case Management and Complex Civil Litigation is to examine the case management tools available to the modern-day judge for dealing with crucial aspects of complex civil litigation, such as pleadings, discovery, expert evidence, alternative dispute resolution, summary judgment and the separate question procedure. The text also addresses the role of the overriding or overarching purpose with its command that civil litigation is to be conducted in a manner which achieves justice while minimising cost and delay as this has major significance for complex cases. The text considers the use of costs and sanctions as a way in which to encourage and enforce compliance with civil procedure requirements in complex litigation. Concerns voiced about case management, such as ensuring procedural fairness, are examined. Greatly expanded since its first edition, the author’s detailed consideration of the history and rationale for case management principles and rules as well as the most current and significant judicial pronouncements on them, make this book a valuable and highly practical resource for all those involved in commencing, or running, complex litigation, as well as a must-have reference for those adjudicating such disputes. It will also warrant careful consideration by parties contemplating lodging an appeal in relation to such adjudications. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Legg-Case-Management-2e-front-cover.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20220930 Federation Press 21 02 195 AUD 01 177.28 AUD 1085 03 15 9781760024512 01 ONIX_NOSEQ eb6020ec-80a4-474e-ad44-271a354e2879 BC 1 A01 Barbara McDonald 2 A01 David Rolph 3 A01 Ross Anderson 4 A01 Penelope Crossley 5 A01 Gemma Turton 7 661 10 LAW087000 12 2.1 LNV 93 LNV 01 05 Now in its 7th edition, and edited by leading academic experts in tort law, Cases on Torts provides students of tort law with extracts from essential cases, both Australian and from other jurisdictions, illuminating the key principles of relevance or influence on modern Australian tort law. The editors aim to build students’ essential legal skills in identifying, comprehending and evaluating the current law from primary sources of law. This also gives university lecturers flexibility in the design of individual torts courses around a core of significant cases. Each case is preceded by a short note and one or more questions to guide the student’s reading of the case. The book is intended to be sufficiently compact to allow students to carry and refer to it in classes. Significant new case law includes cases dealing with fundamental common law principles, of importance in any common law jurisdiction, such as Minister for the Environment v Sharma [2022] FCAFC 35 on the duty of care in negligence or CFMEU v Personnel Contracting Pty Ltd [2022] HCA 1 on vicarious liability. Other new cases, such as Tapp v Australian Bushmen’s Campdraft & Association Ltd [2022] HCA 11, deal with the interpretation of the civil liability legislation enacted in each State and Territory and by the Commonwealth Parliament in response to recommendations contained in the Final Report of the Review of the Law of Negligence in 2002. As with previous editions, this edition will have the benefit of the publisher’s website, where edited versions of new cases within the scope of the book may be accessed under “Supplements”. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/casesontorts_7_front-cover.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20230531 Federation Press 21 02 130 AUD 01 118.19 AUD 646 03 15 9781862877382 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b0dcb541-8286-467d-8e22-0bddade2f130 BC 1 A01 Barbara McDonald 2 A01 Patricia Loughlan 3 A01 Robert Van Krieken 210 10 LAW096000 12 2.1 LNJ 93 LNJ 01 05 <p><em>Celebrity and the Law </em>provides an historical and conceptual context for understanding the phenomenon of the celebrity in contemporary society and analyses three areas of law in which celebrity status has a significant impact:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the law of passing off, which controls commercial use of the celebrity identity</li>\n<li>the law of defamation, which protects the celebrity’s reputation in the community, and</li>\n<li> the law of privacy and confidence, which regulates intrusions into and disclosures of information about a celebrity’s private life</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Since celebrity interactions with legal systems are global phenomena, comparisons are made throughout the book between Australian celebrity law and that of other jurisdictions, such as the United States and the United Kingdom in its new European context. The book seeks to explain and analyse how the law has responded and ought further to respond to the phenomenon of celebrity and to the ever-expanding demands of celebrities for extensive legal protection and stringent controls over the unauthorized use of their identities.</p>\n<p>The analysis in the book acknowledges the sensational and enchanting nature of celebrity and recognises that the celebrity persona is often a valuable cultural and expressive resource which is and ought to be, within reasonable limits, available for public use and public comment.

The book covers: • the impact on policing of constitutional and cultural difference; • society and crime in the 21st century – crime and disorder on the streets, – problems involved in street policing, – the effect of new technology, for example CCTV, and – the pervasive involvement of drugs and alcohol in crime; • police accountability – the accountability of police organisations to the government, – the accountability of senior officers to the public, and – the accountability of individual police officers to the persons with whom they come into contact; • the changing relationship between police and the state – policing terrorism, and – internet crime. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Changing-Policing-3rd-ed-cov.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20110715 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 1028 03 15 9781760022419 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 4afb53a0-eae1-49d1-963b-7116fc580555 BC 1 A01 Daniel Ghezelbash 2 A01 Jemma Hollonds 3 A01 Kate Bones 4 A01 Mary Anne Kenny 5 A01 Mary Crock 192 10 SOC066000 12 2.1 LBBS 93 JBFG 01 05 Representing children in refugee protection proceedings is complex work involving legal, psycho-social, welfare and cross-cultural issues. Children and young people are amongst the most vulnerable people affected by migration controls, especially when they are seeking asylum alone, without the support of a responsible adult. Their interaction with government systems in this area is known to cause them high levels of stress and anxiety. This important book is designed to assist migration agents, lawyers, social workers and other relevant professionals to effectively represent the rights and interests of migrant children and young people seeking protection in Australia. It covers both the law and policy and cultural competence and practices. It provides practical tools and suggestions about issues that commonly arise when assisting young non-citizens who apply for protection or other status in Australia. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/childrenandyoungpeopleinasylumandrefugeeprocesses_crock_bones_ghezelbash_hollonds_kenny.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20200616 Federation Press 21 02 39.95 AUD 01 36.31818181818182 AUD 892 03 15 9781760020712 01 ONIX_NOSEQ c7d0b89e-552f-4cd9-84c0-beaf960c8af7 BC 1 A01 John Seymour 208 10 LAW038000 12 2.1 LNMK 93 LNM 01 05 <p>The family can be viewed as a private world, one into which courts should be reluctant to intrude. In our society, recognition of the specialness of the parent/child relationship is well entrenched: “The best person to bring up a child is the natural parent.” Yet legal intervention in this relationship may be justified when children need protection.</p>\n<p>The resulting tension is the principal subject of this book. An Australian court dealing with a child must seek the outcome most likely to promote that child’s “best interests”. The book includes case studies illustrating the difficulties magistrates and judges have encountered in applying the best interests test. These cases also prompt questions about the capacity of courts to make effective orders when children are not receiving adequate care: a court order cannot re-make a child’s life. The first part of the book looks at the various issues that may arise in regards to different views on what “best interests” may be. Cultural diversity must also be taken into account. To what extent should Australian law seek to accommodate differing views on child-rearing? This question is particularly relevant to an examination of the impact on Indigenous communities of current child protection policies. Cultural bias can be criticised, but the system should not lose sight of the goals and standards expected of procedures designed to achieve what is best for <em>all</em> children, Indigenous and non-Indigenous.</p>\n<p>In addition to considering cases in which parents’ authority is challenged, Part II of the book addresses another issue. When a dispute arises about the medical treatment of a mature child, the child may assert the power to give the necessary consent to, or to decline, the treatment. If the adult world disapproves of the child’s decision a court can override it on the ground that the child is vulnerable and needs protection. Is this a benevolent application of the “best interests” test or unwarranted paternalism?</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/childrenparentsandthecourts_johnseymour.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20160803 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 855 03 15 9781760020286 01 ONIX_NOSEQ e778fb08-1c22-4e00-9ce4-4106c7e56cf0 BC 1 B01 Colin MacDougall 2 B01 Elizabeth Handsley 3 B01 Michael Rich 272 10 SOC047000 12 2.1 JFSP1 93 JBSP1 01 05 <p>Children, from infancy through adolescence, now spend more time consuming media content than they do in school, with parents or engaging in any activity other than sleep. Parents, educators, and policy-makers are concerned, confused and overwhelmed, since the media we use and how we use them influence virtually every aspect of our lives.</p>\n<p>The Harvard-Australia Symposium on Media Use and Children’s Wellbeing dared to tackle the problem as a whole by convening psychologists with specialties in child development, violence, advertising, body image and sleep; a human ecologist; a filmmaker; a couple of ethicists; a librarian; a social worker and a nutritionist to join a paediatrician, a lawyer and a public health researcher to address the question of how media use influences children’s wellbeing. The project compared and contrasted disciplinary frameworks and methodologies used, and the strengths and limitations of each, to open up a conversation about how they might complement and synergise with each other. Participants expanded their horizons by breaking down the academic silos and learning from one another. The discussion covered issues from sexualisation of children in the media, violent video games, social networking, food advertising, preschool television, the fashion industry and body image, to distressing content on the news.</p>\n<p>The Symposium acknowledged that media are so integrated into our lives that we cannot fully understand or effectively address the health and development of digital natives with anything but an multidisciplinary approach. The resulting conversation was fascinating and energising, engaging readers from any background to appreciate the differences, the commonalities and the ways in which these diverse perspectives complement each other to develop strategies for maximising the benefits and minimising the risks of media use.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/childrenswellbeinginthemediaage_elizabethhandsley_colinmacdougall.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20150730 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 197 03 15 9781862872103 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 85383c40-dc5e-4c2b-a332-728915ddaf49 BC 1 A01 Peter MacFarlane 2 A01 Simon Fisher 308 10 POL072000 12 2.1 HRAM2 93 QRAM2 01 05 <h3>Introduction</h3>\n<h3>An introduction to the Australian legal system</h3>\n<h3>The church as an organisation</h3>\n<h3>Employment and dismissal of church personnel</h3>\n<h3>Negligence, undue influence and defamation</h3>\n<h3>The impact of the criminal law</h3>\n<h3>Marriage, divorce and children</h3>\n<h3>Confidentiality and privilege</h3>\n<h3>Table of cases/ Table of statutes/ Index</h3 01 The Federation Press 19960908 Federation Press 51 02 27.5 AUD 01 24.999999999999996 AUD 749 03 15 9781862878723 01 ONIX_NOSEQ cb59bc2a-a700-45f2-99a3-6d3ff9faa819 BC 1 A01 Ben Saul 2 A01 James Slezak 3 A01 Jane McAdam 4 A01 Steven Sherwood 5 A01 Tim Stephens 256 10 LAW034000 12 2.1 LNKJ 93 LNKJ 01 05 <p>Climate change is one of the most hotly debated issues of this century.

These events pose a serious threat to the Australian population, with many communities located in low-lying coastal areas.</p>\n<p>These events also give rise to a number of complicated legal issues. Law and policy-makers need to develop effective adaptation approaches that involve planning for new coastal developments while also addressing the risks to existing settlements. This poses complex questions spanning planning and property law, and also gives rise to legal liability risks.</p>\n<p>The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the various legal issues that are likely to arise in Australia as governments search for the most effective way to adapt to the projected impacts of sea-level rise. Fundamentally, the book is about legal risk management, because regardless of what action or inaction governments take, it is likely that there will be economic consequences. The book explores how legal risks can be managed, and what legal approaches can be implemented to reduce the likely economic impacts and spread them across time. It also considers the evolving role of the insurance industry in supplementing government action.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/justinebelljames_climatechangecoastaldevelopmentlawinaustralia.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20140731 Federation Press 21 02 85 AUD 01 77.272727272727266 AUD 601 03 15 9781862876736 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 68a04e40-e454-4a27-9679-acd8263d7bc5 BC 1 B01 Peter Christoff 2 B01 Tim Bonyhardy 328 10 LAW034000 12 2.1 LNKJ 93 LNKJ 01 05 <EM>Climate Law in Australia</EM> provides the first extended account of Australia’s new climate law.

How a collection meets these issues affects the reputation of both the organisation and everyone associated with it. The authors, Shane Simpson and Ian McDonald, both pre-eminent cultural property lawyers, have decades of experience advising collecting and other cultural organisations throughout Australia and New Zealand and this book distils that expertise into a comprehensive, practical text. They discuss all the main legal and ethical issues that commonly arise in public collections. Topics include: key areas of law, including contract, copyright, bailment, limits to freedom of speech; ethical issues and frameworks, including in relation to First Nations peoples and materials; core collection activities such as acquisitions, loans, touring, deaccessioning and disposal of collection material, with specific chapters also on import and export, repatriation and restitution of cultural material; legal and ethical issues arising from technological advances, including NFTs and AI, and how to handle “new media” collection materials such as digital and AV works; merchandising, sponsorships, philanthropy and consultancies; and the duties to visitors, volunteers, and the responsibilities of staff and board. Written in plain English, Collections Law & Ethics includes extensive references to legislation and case law, and provides real-life examples, checklists and practical advice. An invaluable book for anyone working in, or advising, a public collecting organisation (and a first-of-its-kind when it comes to New Zealand). 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Simpson-McDonald-Collections-Law-Ethics-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250923 Federation Press 21 02 89.95 AUD 01 81.78 AUD 962 03 15 9781760021849 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 87da6901-405d-4bf6-ac71-96277d7533fb BC 1 B01 Anthony Forsyth 2 B01 Breen Creighton 3 B01 Shae McCrystal 352 10 LAW054000 12 2.1 LNHR 93 LNH 01 05 <p>Is the system of collective bargaining under the Fair Work Act broken? Both employers and unions think that it is, and that the legislation requires significant amendment. Are they right?</p>\n<p>This collection answers this question by examining the operation, effects and impact of the framework for enterprise bargaining established by the <em>Fair Work Act 2009</em> (Cth) nine years after it was enacted. This legislation, introduced by the Rudd Labor Government, was ostensibly intended to restore a collectivist focus to the system of industrial regulation following the Howard Coalition Government’s ‘Work Choices’ experiment. The ‘Fair Work’ model is now sufficiently mature to permit an informed examination of its practical operation, including its response to continuing rapid social, economic, structural and labour market change, and an evaluation of how it can and should respond to these changes in the future.</p>\n<p>Comprising contributions from leading Australian scholars in the fields of law and industrial relations, and critical reflections on the operation of the Australian model from North American and United Kingdom contributors, this collection provides that evaluation, exploring the critical successes and failures of the <em>Fair Work Act</em> and setting out directions for future change.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/collectivebargainingunderthefairworkact_mccrystalcreightonforsyth.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20180827 Federation Press 21 02 69.95 AUD 01 63.590909090909086 AUD 1087 03 15 9781760024574 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 518aea12-23a5-433e-96ba-e17ebee83405 BB 1 A01 Mark Leeming 352 10 LAW080000 12 2.1 LNL 93 LNV 01 05 This strikingly original book explains how the Australian legal system is structured, and how that structure informs the way novel questions of law are argued and decided. One of this book’s themes is that, in the minority of litigation which involves the determination of a question of law, it often makes sense to regard the legal system as an entangled product of statute and judge-made law, within which common law and equity are separate components. Another is that the actual workings of the legal system are far more complex than appears in most accounts, and within that complexity lies the scope for principled development. A third is that an appreciation of legal history will almost always assist in the resolution of novel questions of law, mostly by lightening the weight of precedent. The book analyses what is meant by the “common law of Australia”, what is the relationship between judge-made law and statutes, and how courts resolve novel questions of law. It explains why some questions are best regarded as aspects of the common law, why others are best regarded as questions of statutory construction, why some are difficult to characterise, and why this matters. It also explains why equity continues to be a distinct component of judge-made law, with a different relationship with statute. And it gives a nuanced account of precedent and the role of authority from different jurisdictions. The ideas in some of the chapters are illustrated by dialogues between a teacher and students, replicating a once common form of legal literature, including St Germain’s Doctor and Student, published half a millennium ago. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/FP_Leeming_CFormat_Common-Law-EquityStatute_240x153_Case-Block_cover_LR.jpg 01 Federation Press 20230621 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 1124 03 15 9781760025663 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a732930d-8950-4f07-98f5-3b5459fdc8e2 BB 1 A01 Troy Anderson 4 496 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 Now in its fourth edition, Troy Anderson’s Commonwealth Criminal Law is the only comprehensive text dedicated to the Commonwealth criminal law – the offences, element analyses and sentencing. This edition reflects new case law and amendments to legislation and has a new chapter entirely dedicated to Commonwealth agencies’ ability to investigate suspected offences. The book covers the general principles of criminal responsibility created under the Criminal Code 1995 (Cth) and contains chapters dealing with the most commonly prosecuted offences. These include fraud against the Commonwealth, exploitation, money laundering, drug importation, terrorism and corporate crime. Each of these chapters also sets out the relevant sentencing principles applicable to these offences. Commonwealth criminal law represents an expanding area of practice and this text has deliberately been designed to be useful for the busy practitioner, magistrate or judge who needs a quick understanding of a concept as well as for students seeking an overview of how Commonwealth criminal law intersects with State and Territory criminal law. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Anderson_Commonwealth_Criminal_Law_4e-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250926 Federation Press 30 02 160 AUD 01 145.46 AUD 657 03 15 9781862877467 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 60f4eb1c-c717-4d13-9565-1db5ba40f5cb BC 1 A01 Adrian Buzo 2 A01 Jieun Lee 256 10 LAN023000 12 2.1 CFP 93 CFP 01 05 <p><em>Community Language Interpreting </em>provides translation resource materials for teachers and students.

Although statutory entitlements to compensation have been available in the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) since its commencement, it was not until 2016 that the first judicial determination of compensation was made. In 2019 the High Court of Australia gave its first consideration to the topic, in Northern Territory v Griffiths [2019] HCA 7 (the “Timber Creek” decision). This book surveys the current state of the law, explores future directions, and seeks to resolve some as yet undetermined issues. It provides the first extended analysis of this emerging body of law. Apart from considering compensation under the Native Title Act and how it should properly be assessed, the book also explores the availability of common law remedies for native title holders, and considers the implications of the Commonwealth Constitution’s guarantee of “just terms” for certain acquisitions of property. A key theme throughout the book is a recognition of a tension between the desirability of applying existing legal principles and doctrines, while also recognising the uniqueness of native title. The book provides a framework for thinking about how to approach – and resolve – that tension. It also critiques aspects of the approaches taken by the courts so far, and offers a new path forward. Ultimately, it is argued that native title holders can and should be recompensed through the application of well-established principles and methods. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Isdale_Compensation-for-Native-Title_HR.png 01 The Federation Press 20220429 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.64 AUD 633 03 15 9781862877238 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 6ef461dd-da18-427e-9e7d-4b1ff2c8dbae BC 1 A01 Francis Johns 2 A01 Robert Watt 6 335 10 LAW081000 12 2.1 LAS 93 LASN 01 05 <p><em>Concise Legal Research</em> details the technical aspects of a huge number of legal sources and explains how to research law with confidence and in good time.</p>\n<p>This new edition focuses on the impact of online access and the need for the researcher to move seamlessly between traditional and electronic resources.

The idea of constitutional recognition has become the subject of community forums and nationwide inquiries, street protests and prime ministerial speeches. Dylan Lino’s book provides the first comprehensive study of Indigenous constitutional recognition in Australia.\n\nOffering more than a legal analysis, Lino places the idea of constitutional recognition into a broader historical and theoretical perspective. After recounting the history of Australian debates on Indigenous recognition, the book presents an account that views constitutional recognition in terms of Indigenous peoples’ struggles to have their identities respected within the settler constitutional order. When studied in this way, constitutional recognition emerges not as a postcolonial endpoint but as an ongoing process of renegotiating the basic Indigenous–settler political relationship.\n\nWith First Peoples continuing to press for the recognition of their sovereignty and peoplehood, this book will be a definitive reference point for scholars, advocates, policy-makers and the interested public.\n\n<hr />\n\n<strong>AUSPUBLAW</strong> presents Book Forum on Dylan Lino’s <em>Constitutional Recognition: First Peoples and the Australian Settler State, </em>14 August 2019\n\nDani Larkin provides first post. <em>"Dylan has provided readers and legal professionals alike with a very useful and educational book that better informs current issues surrounding Indigenous constitutional recognition." </em><a href="https://auspublaw.org/2019/08/book-forum-dani-larkin/">Click here</a> to read\n\nThe Hon Robert French AC provides the second post. <em>"[The book] will inform ongoing debate about constitutional recognition to those who are seriously engaged in it.

The book had its genesis in a colloquium co-hosted by the University of Southern Queensland and Southern Cross University, attended by scholars from Australia and overseas and prominent participants in the recognition debates. The contributions have been updated and supplemented to produce a collection that explores what is possible and preferable from a variety of perspectives, organised into three parts: 'Concepts and Context', 'Theories, Critique and Alternatives', and 'Comparative Perspectives'. It includes work by well-regarded constitutional law scholars and legal historians, as well as analysis built from and framed by Indigenous world views and knowledges. It also features the voices of a number of comparative scholars – examining relevant developments in the United States, Canada, the South Pacific, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and South America. The combined authorship represents 10 universities from across Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. The book is intended to be both an accurate and detailed record of this critical step in Australian legal and political history and an enduring contribution to ongoing dialogue, reconciliation and the empowerment of Australia's First Peoples. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/constitutionalrecognitionoffirstpeoplesinaustralia_simonyoung_jennifernielsen.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20161207 Federation Press 21 02 84.95 AUD 01 77.22727272727272 AUD 1035 03 15 9781760022525 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 099e995f-b655-4ff9-bd0c-8e80e27782c4 BC 1 A01 Philip Davenport 4 420 10 LAW019000 12 2.1 LNCQ 93 LNCQ 01 05 Statutory compulsory rapid adjudication has now spread to all States, the Northern Territory and the ACT.

It considers parallel re-regulation of consumer credit and other financial markets impacting on consumers. It also compares recent reform initiatives in New Zealand, Australia’s closest economic and geo-political partner, as well as developments in other major economies including the European Union, Japan and the United States.</p>\n<p>In addition, the book examines policy considerations and market transformations, as well as the often complex legislative history associated with recent consumer law reform proposals in Australia and New Zealand. Each substantive chapter usually begins with that broader setting, especially the issues and recommendations of a 2008 Report by Australia’s Productivity Commission. Chapters then outline ‘how the law works’, before offering a critical assessment of the current regime.</p>\n<p>This book will therefore appeal to policy-makers, researchers, senior law students, and legal practitioners interested in an advanced and wide-ranging analysis of current consumer law issues – particularly in Australia. The 14 contributors are consumer law experts associated with Australasian Consumer Law Roundtables, held annually in Australia and New Zealand since 2007 to bring together academics, regulators and peak consumer group representative.</p>\n<p>Specific areas covered include: definitions of ‘consumers’, mandatory quality guarantees and controls over unfair terms in consumer contracts, regulation of unconscionable conduct, a possible general prohibition of ‘unfair practices’, product liability and safety regulation, responsible lending and ‘hardship’ provisions in consumer credit, consumer banking and financial advice, vulnerable consumers, interest rate caps, dispute resolution, regulatory powers and e-commerce.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/consumerlawandpolicyinaustraliaandnewzealand_lukenottage_justinmalbon.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20130228 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.63636363636363 AUD 1091 03 15 9781760024659 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0128ed5c-4a4f-4b72-89ae-b4259958dd8c BB 1 A01 David Rolph 960 10 LAW012000 12 2.1 LNA 93 LNAC 01 05 Contempt of court is a vitally important part of the administration of justice. Being a summary jurisdiction, the law of contempt often needs to be applied swiftly and is not regularly the subject of appeal. There are many complexities and idiosyncrasies about the law of contempt, which have developed over centuries. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the Australian law of contempt of court. It provides a rigorous but accessible exposition of the fundamental principles of this somewhat arcane area of law. The book considers all forms of contempt, including civil contempt, sub judice contempt, contempt in the face of the court, scandalising the court and interference with the administration of justice as an ongoing process. It examines the difficult issue of the distinction between civil and criminal contempt. It considers not only contempt of superior courts of record but also examines the contempt powers of a range of inferior courts and tribunals. The book also analyses the procedure and penalties for contempt of court. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/FP_Rolph_Contempt_240x153_Case-Block_Cover_1000pxl.jpg 01 Federation Press 20231027 Federation Press 21 02 265 AUD 01 240.91 AUD 980 03 15 9781760022013 01 ONIX_NOSEQ fe0da1bf-c113-481c-a481-0316d8e42b72 BC 1 A01 John Carter 2 A01 Laina Chan 192 10 LAW021000 12 2.1 LNCJ 93 LNCJ 01 05 <em>Contract and the Australian Consumer Law</em> analyses the way the Australian Consumer Law has modified contract law. In particular, provisions in the Australian Consumer Law in relation to consumer guarantees for goods and services, unfair contract terms, misleading or deceptive conduct and unconscionable conduct are considered and analysed. The book discusses recent cases on these topics and extracts guiding principles from the legislation and the cases.\n\nThe text is intended to be read from cover to cover so as to present a birdseye view on the operation of the legislation in the context of contract law.\n\nWith a foreword by the Hon Justice Julie Ward of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, who describes the text as eminently readable with a coherent and focused analysis, the book is a must have for all practitioners of commercial law including construction law, property law and all forms of contractual disputes, as well as law students. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/contractandaustralianconsumerlaw_johncarterlainachan.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190313 Federation Press 21 02 69.95 AUD 01 63.590909090909086 AUD 994 03 15 9781760022143 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f11be341-591c-474c-8fe7-3d424f324658 BZ 1 A01 Nicholas A Tiverios 272 10 LAW021000 12 2.1 LNCJ 93 LNCJ 01 05 It is a longstanding and common drafting technique in Australia and England for contracts to contain an agreed remedy which one party (A) can claim against the other (B) if B fails to fulfil her side of the bargain.

The tradition of adversarial workplace relations in Australia, so embedded in our culture, institutions and politics, is a powerful obstacle. But the potential for cooperative transformation is illustrated by the examples in this book. Drawing on research undertaken in partnership with the Fair Work Commission and the Newcastle Branch of the New South Wales Industrial Relations Society, two sets of case studies are presented. Each involves industrial tribunals working not so much to resolve disputes – their traditional role – but to help avoid disputes arising in the first place.\n\nPart of the book tells the fascinating story, spanning several decades, of the development of cooperative processes in the Hunter region. Deployed most notably on large scale construction projects, the model has delivered outstanding results for businesses and workers alike. So too has the Fair Work Commission’s <em>New Approaches</em> program, two early successes from which are outlined. Each study features interviews with some of the managers, workers and representatives involved, recounting in their own words both the challenges and outcomes of the journey towards cooperation.\n\nThis book, written in an accessible form by leading experts on employment relations, explores the reasons why these initiatives have been successful and what lessons can be learnt for future attempts to promote workplace cooperation. It is indispensable reading for managers, union officials, practitioners, policy-makers and anyone interested in the future of employment relations. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/cooperationatwork_markbray.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20180109 Federation Press 21 02 79.95 AUD 01 72.681818181818173 AUD 1055 03 15 9781760023232 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 1e936c2b-0d42-4974-a172-4199f3840f53 BB 1 A01 David Brennan 576 10 LAW050010 12 2.1 LNRC 93 LNRC 01 05 Copyright Law offers a comprehensive resource for practitioners, students and those in copyright-dependent industries. It deals with all the private law regimes within the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) – proprietary copyright, technical protection measures, performers’ rights and moral rights. The work has a strong focus on Australian jurisprudence and law reform, and provides expositions of complex matters within their treaty law, litigious, technological, historical or political contexts. Particularly thorough treatments are given to areas that frequently present difficulty in practice, such as implied licences, title, Copyright Tribunal jurisdiction, the interface with design law and pecuniary remedies. The work also provides an explanation of territoriality, private international law principles relating to copyright and jurisdictional attachment. This is done in a way that both delineates the limits of Australian copyright jurisdiction, and sets out the various pathways for entry into that jurisdiction. This book represents a much-needed cohesive account of the area, in which lateral cross-cutting influences between the various topics are identified. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/copyrightlaw_brennan.png 01 The Federation Press 20211124 Federation Press 21 02 220 AUD 01 200 AUD 587 03 15 9781862876545 01 ONIX_NOSEQ c7da9a29-c1a0-489f-9931-17b977f7c08f BC 1 A01 Colin Golvin 248 10 LAW050010 12 2.1 LNRC 93 LNRC 01 05 “This exposition of the Law and Practice of Copyright is aimed primarily at practitioners. … The work is not intended to be exhaustive; rather it is a practical guide to enduring principles which have been adapted by the legislature to contemporary conditions. … Sections in the text on jurisdictional problems arising from trans-national access to information, file swapping and various new methods of piracy, guide the reader through developments. … The author both explains the law as it stands and supports the continuing but measured recalibration of the legislation … As such, this is a most commendable contribution to the current understanding of copyright law in Australia.”\n<em>From the Foreword by </em>the Hon Justice Susan Crennan\n\nLeading copyright lawyer Colin Golvan SC explains copyright with great clarity and sophistication. He balances a sharp focus on “practical” matters like preparing a copyright case for trial and the clauses of a publishing agreement (which can be used as precedents) with discussion of key trends such as copyright and the internet, the use of copyright to protect indigenous art and culture, and the corporatisation of copyright. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Golvan-Copyright.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20070928 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 1088 03 15 9781760024598 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b0796231-c4af-43fb-9f14-ccd7784a5cf6 BB 1 B01 Rosemary Teele Langford 288 10 LAW021000 12 2.1 LNCJ 93 LNCJ 01 05 This innovative collection comprises a series of chapters by noted authors on important current issues in corporate law and governance in honour of Emeritus Professor Ian Ramsay AO – Australia’s leading corporate law and governance scholar. Authors include former judges of the High Court of Australia and the Supreme Court of New South Wales, the chair of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and prominent Australian and international academics. The book provides extensive expert analysis of specific areas that are experiencing significant change and evolution, with an Introduction that draws together issues and themes from the in-depth analysis found in each chapter. Themes include: (a) the impact of environmental, social and governance issues on financial regulation, corporate governance and shareholders; (b) emerging issues for statutory and general law duties of care and to act in good faith in the interests of the corporation; (c) the complexity and scope of corporate law legislation and governance; (d) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on corporate law, corporate governance and financial regulation; and (e) the impact of technology on financial regulation, corporate governance, the consumer credit sector and ASIC’s regulatory strategies. A theme that permeates all of the chapters is the way in which the corporate form – together with corporate law and corporate governance – have adapted to change, and the ways in which they may need to be reformed further. 01 Federation Press 20230913 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 789 03 15 9781862879287 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 559f5022-012e-4568-a14a-f4ab124018ed BC 1 A01 Julie Cassidy 4 494 10 LAW022000 12 2.1 LNCD 93 LNCD 01 05 <p>The purpose of this text is to provide a teaching/ learning tool within a semester corporations law unit.

Various policy measures have been adopted to relieve this financial distress, most notably recent structural reform programs centred on forced council amalgamation. However, compulsory consolidation has not only failed to achieve its intended aims, but it has also served to diminish ‘local voice’ and ‘local choice’ and left a lasting legacy of bitterness and division.<br />By contrast, as an alternative method of reaping the benefits of scale, scope, specialisation and size in local government service provision, but without all the deleterious effects of forced council mergers, service shared services offer significant promise for local government. Councils in Cooperation is the first attempt to comprehensively explore and assess the potential of resource sharing, shared services and other forms of inter-council cooperation in the Australian local government sector.<br />Drawing on the full weight of international and Australian literature, Councils in Cooperation evaluates the theoretical literature on shared services and advances a new conceptual framework for explaining the comparative performance of shared service programs in practice. The authors consider alternative models of shared service provision and investigate the relative merits of these models. The book then systematically assesses the global empirical evidence on shared services and explores successful – and failed – attempts at shared services in the Australian milieu, providing various case studies of Regional Organisations of Councils, Strategic Alliances as well as vertical and horizontal shared service arrangements in contexts as varied as Greater Western Sydney, the NSW Central Tablelands and Riverina, and Outback Queensland.<br />The policy implications arising from this wealth of material are examined in depth in Councils in Cooperation. The authors present a cogent case for policy makers to encourage local authorities to pursue shared service arrangements in selected areas of policy provision so as to reap the benefits which can flow from larger scale and greater specialisation, rather than rely on the heavy-handed and blunt instrument of forced amalgamation. Moreover, heightened cooperation between councils may well foster a ‘bottom-up’ revival of regional development with much better prospects for success than the current pattern of ‘top-down’ regionalism simply imposed on regional communities by national and state governments.<br />Brian Dollery in the News - 30 April 2013, SMH.

Adopting a more explicit style of judicial reasoning, it drew its precedents from a wider range of jurisdictions and presided over new directions in Australian law in areas ranging from contract to constitutional and equity to native title.\n\nWhy did this happen and where will it lead? Why are courts overseas feeling similar pressures and how are they reacting?\n\nThe papers in this book, conceived as a tribute to Sir Anthony Mason, debate the role of courts of final jurisdiction and of their chief justices at the end of the 20th century. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Desert-Pea-002.jpg 01 The Federation Press 19960613 Federation Press 21 02 66 AUD 01 59.999999999999993 AUD 1120 03 15 9781760025588 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0be979b9-69c3-4bf9-abff-a18041b8658c BZ 1 A01 Mark Leeming 5 368 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 The 5th edition of Cowen and Zines’s Federal Jurisdiction in Australia incorporates a spate of important developments of the last nine years over most areas of federal jurisdiction. These include decisions in all Australian States concerning the determination of federal matters in State tribunals following Burns v Corbett, the bona fide invocation of jurisdiction in Citta Hobart Pty Ltd v Cawthorn, the requirement of a matter in an appeal in AZC20 v Minister and the nature of federal jurisdiction in the self-governing Territories in Vunilagi v The Queen. Each of those decisions (and many others) have cited earlier editions of this work, which is widely regarded as authoritative in an area essential to practice as well as to the understanding of the Australian legal system. The current edition continues the approach of examining these developments closely and critically. It also maintains links with United States judgments and literature, including cross-references to the monumental (1820 page) 8th edition of Hart and Wechler’s The Federal Courts and the Federal System published in January 2025. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cowen-Zines-Leeming-Federal-Jurisdiction-in-Australia-5e-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250721 Federation Press 21 02 190 AUD 01 172.73 AUD 849 03 15 9781862879997 01 ONIX_NOSEQ fac6e27c-0f00-4a0a-8da0-efd69ad1c12a BC 1 B01 Mary Crock 336 10 LAW032000 12 2.1 LBBS 93 LNDA1 01 05 Cover image: The Dream (2012) © Syed MosawiReproduced with permission of the artist, Syed Mosawi, who came to Australia as an unaccompanied refugee child. “The Artwork is a reflection of people who never give up and try hard to build a better world. I wish the world was a canvas so I could paint it free of intimidation and hopelessness, free of fear and distress, free of isolation and racism, free of hatred and darkness.”\n\nThis book has been written at a time when as many children are on the move as forced migrants as at any time in human history. In 2014, UNHCR estimated that more than 59 million people were on the move as refugees or ‘persons of concern’. At least half were children. Australia has not escaped this global phenomenon: young people feature prominently in both planned humanitarian migration and asylum flows.\n\nRather than focus on how children seek protection, this book is about what happens afterwards. Essays by distinguished professionals in the field examine the law, policy and practice governing how refugee children are admitted and ‘settled’ into Australian society. Topics range from the ethics of researching young people from refugee backgrounds; how children are selected for inclusion in managed programs for ‘resettlement’; through to the rules for the acquisition of citizenship. The centrepiece of the work, however, are essays on what can and should be done to support and assist young refugees after they enter Australia. The core premise is that settlement matters. How these young people are treated upon and after arrival can make or break their development and future wellbeing. Young people from refugee backgrounds have often experienced extraordinary hardships and challenges. Good settlement experiences can facilitate healing, reduce traumas associated with transition into a new society and create a solid foundation for growth and development into productive adulthood. In this collection the authors discuss examples of good policy and good practice in the shared endeavour of creating New Futures for these young people. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Crock-Creating-New-Futures.gif 01 The Federation Press 20150824 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 1068 03 15 9781760023911 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 3312dbf8-eebd-485c-86be-b269bb0326a6 BC 1 A01 Andrew Stewart 2 A01 Anthony Forsyth 3 A01 Mark Irving 4 A01 Richard Johnstone 5 A01 Shae McCrystal 7 1520 10 LAW054000 12 2.1 LNHR 93 LNH 01 05 This new edition of Australia’s most authoritative text on labour law provides a comprehensive account of the rules and processes governing employment and workplace relations, including the many changes to the Fair Work Act introduced by the Albanese Government’s Secure Jobs, Better Pay and Closing Loopholes amendments.

The new forms range from agricultural crimes, such as the theft of water designated for agricultural production, to environmental crimes such as the illegal dumping of waste. They take place side by side with “traditional” rural crimes such as cattle duffing while “urban” crimes such as drug and alcohol abuse and violent assaults are also prevalent, and on the rise. \n<P><EM>Crime in Rural Australia</EM> covers them all.

These are problems that continue to rise despite numerous inquiries and reports.\n\nHarry Blagg disputes the relevance of the western, urban, criminological paradigm to the Aboriginal domain, and questions the application of both contemporary innovations such as restorative justice and mainstream models of policing. He also refutes allegations that Aboriginal customary laws condone violence against women and children, pointing to the wealth of research to the contrary, and suggests these laws contain considerable potential for renewal and healing. This book maintains that unresolved questions of colonisation, decolonisation and sovereignty lie at the heart of debates about criminal justice in post-colonial Australia. It explores the potential for ‘hybrid’ initiatives in the complex ‘liminal’ space between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal domains, for example, Aboriginal community/night patrols, community justice groups, healing centres and Aboriginal courts.\n\nThis new edition covers emerging issues such as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) and reports on the consequences of the Commonwealth Government's contentious 'intervention' in remote Northern Territory communities in 2007. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/crimeaboriginalityandthedecolonisationofjusticesecondedition_harryblagg.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20160504 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 1116 03 15 9781760025489 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0b5d0739-bda3-4202-96b7-0ca40a23924b BC 1 A01 Anthony Gray 2 336 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 Now in its second edition, this book describes the potential of Chapter III of the Australian Constitution to preserve fundamental due process rights, including the presumption of innocence, the right to silence and the right to confront accusers. These are generally regarded as fundamental to a fair criminal process, yet they are not protected by an express national bill of rights. Criminal Due Process and Chapter III of the Australian Constitution combines two ideas: (a) that Chapter III of the Constitution preserves fundamental characteristics of a judicial process through the prism of judicial independence; and (b) that presumption of innocence, right to silence, right to confront accusers, the right to proportionate sentencing and protection from criminal sanction independent of a finding of criminal guilt are fundamental characteristics of judicial process. Together this means there is, and should be, constitutional protection from laws that undermine these fundamental principles. The author documents the limited extent to which this potential has been recognised to date, and considers prospects for the future in this regard. The Gageler High Court apparently has a more expansive view of the scope for Chapter III to protect fundamental due process rights than previous courts, making this new edition timely. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Gray-Criminal-Due-Process-2e-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250515 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.64 AUD 1113 03 15 9781760025397 01 ONIX_NOSEQ ff9f6063-285f-4802-9b5c-f7e3211fb889 BC 1 A01 Elyse Methven 2 A01 Helen Gibbon 3 A01 Leah Williams 4 A01 Vicki Sentas 5 A01 Arlie Loughnan 6 A01 Thalia Anthony 7 A01 Alex Steel 8 A01 David Brown 9 A01 Julia Quilter 10 A01 Luke McNamara 11 A01 Melanie Schwartz 8 1408 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 The 8th edition of Criminal Laws maintains the distinctive features which have established the book as a leading Australian work for 35 years. It has been extensively updated, including legislation, case law, and policy. It features the latest research on the operation and impact of criminal laws, from policing to punishment, along with up-to-date quantitative and qualitative data that illuminate the lived experience of crime victims, accused persons and offenders. The 8th edition features a large and strong author team with expertise across criminal law, criminalisation theory, policing, criminology and crime policy. Criminal Laws remains, as one review put it, simultaneously a “textbook, casebook, handbook and reference work”. It is ideal for criminal law and criminal justice courses as a teaching text, combining as it does primary sources with extensive critical commentary and a contextual perspective. It is indispensable to practitioners for its detailed coverage of substantive law. Its coverage of research developments, extensive references and inter-disciplinary approach, make it a first point of call for researchers from all disciplines. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Brown_CriminalLaws_8e_cover-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250321 Federation Press 21 02 185 AUD 01 168.19 AUD 1042 03 15 9781760022587 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b7c96803-287b-4e3e-9554-3120eac3ab25 BC 1 A01 Jenny Blokland 2 A01 Stephen Gray 3 A01 Julian Murphy 4 A01 Ben Grimes 3 512 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 This is the third edition of a unique Australian criminal law textbook. The book is unusual among criminal law textbooks because of its attention to the history of the criminal law, and to Indigenous legal issues, to which it devotes specific chapters. It also pays significant attention to criminal procedure, as well as sentencing – both areas not generally dealt with in standard texts, but of great use particularly to practitioners. The book is unique, however, not only in that it is specific to the Northern Territory, which is alone in Australia in possessing both ‘Code’ and ‘non-Code’ jurisdictions, but also because of its detailed focus on cultural and linguistic questions and their relationship to the criminal law. The third edition brings the book up-to-date in light of significant developments in the nine years since the last edition, including the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children. Consequential amendments have been made to all chapters, and particularly the chapters focusing on criminal responsibility. The book also contains a new chapter entirely devoted to linguistic issues in the criminal law. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/criminallawsinthenorthernterritory_stephengray_jennyblokland.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210226 Federation Press 21 02 95 AUD 01 86.37 AUD 729 03 15 9781862878389 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 2bbcb238-566d-4ea1-b24c-d2637e4c5272 BC 1 A01 Jeremy Gans 2 A01 Jill Hunter 3 A01 Kate Warner 4 A01 Terese Henning 560 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 <p><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Cover artwork : <strong>The Physics of Law </strong><br />Courtesy and Copyright of the Artist : Alain K Khadem</span></p>\n<p><em>Criminal Process and Human Rights</em> is a comprehensive guide to the impact of human rights law upon Australian criminal process. </p>\n<p>It gives an in-depth commentary on the actual and potential impact in Australia of the <em>International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights </em>(the ICCPR) and analyses the<em> Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities </em>2006 (Vic) and the <em>Human Rights Act </em>2004 (ACT) from a criminal process perspective.</p>\n<p>The authors provide a detailed coverage of key trends and developments which highlights leading cases and melds the extensive international human rights jurisprudence of the UK, Europe, Canada, the USA, South Africa, New Zealand and Hong Kong into local Australian law.

The evolution has been driven by the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. In this respect, debates — some familiar, others more novel — continue. These debates are occurring in the profession, the academy, and even in the media and the broader community. After all, the harms which Australian competition law seeks to prevent, and redress, have significant, direct impacts across society, from sophisticated multinationals to the everyday consumer. Meanwhile, the regulator in Australia, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, is notoriously active in promoting and enforcing (including, testing the limits of) the prohibitions on restrictive trade practices.\n\nThis volume of the collection, <em>Current Issues in Competition Law</em>, covers various topics of considerable importance and concern. The focus is on the Australian statutory topography and the collection is avowedly concerned with debates and issues of contemporary importance. The volume is divided into three parts. The first considers the historical and theoretical background underpinning Australia’s competition law; the second addresses questions of statutory interpretation common throughout, and specific to, this jurisprudence; and, the third examines the application of this law to new and emerging markets. The chapters provide perspectives from the judiciary, the regulator, the practising profession, and the academy, including a foreword by the Honourable Chief Justice Allsop AO.\n\nThis volume, along with the companion volume, are essential reading for those called upon to determine competition matters, lawyers practising in competition and commercial law, and those teaching and researching the subject.\n\n \n\n“This anthology is an impressive collection of the leading multidisciplinary voices on modern Australian competition law: a current Justice of the Federal Court of Australia and former Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia; Chair and Chief Economist of the federal regulator, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission; economists, private legal practitioners, and academics in law, business, and economics … Each paper is a discrete and valuable analysis. Together, they engage in a lively, detailed, and thoughtful debate … This collection is an invaluable and essential tool for practitioners, generalists and specialists, regulators, jurists, students of the law, and members of the public, for whom these laws exist to benefit.”\n<p style="text-align: right;">From the Foreword by <em>The Honourable James Allsop AO</em></p>\n<p style="text-align: right;"><em>Chief Justice of the Federal Court of Australia</em></p>\n<p style="text-align: right;"><em>July 2021</em></p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/FP_Gvozdenovic_CompetitionLaw_VI_cover_HR-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20211029 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.63636363636363 AUD 1054 03 15 9781760023133 01 ONIX_NOSEQ d5d79da5-4c4f-42e2-a632-466c97c2764e BB 1 B01 Michael Gvozdenovic 2 B01 Stephen Puttick 288 10 LAW014000 12 2.1 LNC 93 LNCB 01 05 Over the past 30 years, the Australian statutory regime regulating competition and restrictive trade practices has been the subject of much, significant reform. The evolution has been driven by the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. In this respect, debates — some familiar, others more novel — continue. These debates are occurring in the profession, the academy, and even in the media and the broader community. After all, the harms which Australian competition law seeks to prevent, and redress, have significant, direct impacts across society, from sophisticated multinationals to the everyday consumer. Meanwhile, the regulator in Australia, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, is notoriously active in promoting and enforcing (including, testing the limits of) the prohibitions on restrictive trade practices.\n\nPart IV of the statutory regime regulates <em>inter alia </em>cartel conduct, anti-competitive contracts and collusive conduct, misuse of market power, and mergers. This volume comprises essays that examine many of the key questions and debates in respect of each of the prohibitions. The focus is on the Australian statutory topography and the collection is avowedly concerned with debates and issues of contemporary importance. The chapters traverse a range of topics of significance today, and which are likely to continue to be of special relevance into the future. It includes perspectives from the judiciary, the regulator, the practising profession, and the academy, including a foreword by the Honourable Justice Nye Perram.\n\nThis volume, along with the companion volume, are essential reading for those called upon to determine competition matters, lawyers practising in competition and commercial law, and those teaching and researching the subject.\n\n \n\nThe twelve essays cover a large amount of ground, are works of scholarship, and repay careful reading. Mr Gvozdenovic and Mr Puttick are to be commended for conceiving of the need for this important work and for the assiduity with which it has been edited. <em>Current Issues in Competition Law: Practice and Perspectives</em> will make a welcome addition to any competition lawyer’s library.\n<p style="text-align: right;"><em>The Honourable Nye Perram\nJustice of the Federal Court of Australia\nJune 2021</em></p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/FP_Gvozdenovic_CompetitionLaw_VII_cover_HR-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210922 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.63636363636363 AUD 814 03 15 9781862879614 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 4f1a2a73-fa13-440a-93ec-621440b5f091 BC 1 A01 Tim Anderson 3 128 10 LAW059000 12 2.1 LAT 93 LAT 01 05 Defend Yourself is a book for people who wish to defend a charge in court and to better understand court processes.

It is addressed to academics, students and practitioners and resolves complex issues, as well as giving practical guidance on the characteristics and application of general law and statutory duties. In so doing it provides critical analysis of the scope and content of fiduciary duties in general and resolves a patent clash between prevalent modern equity theory and Australian corporate law jurisprudence as concerns directors’ duties.</p>\n<p>Particular focus is given to the duties that have traditionally been characterised as fiduciary. These are the duties to avoid conflicts and profits, to act in good faith in the interests of the company and for proper purposes, to retain discretions and to disclose information. The duty of care is also examined and the book demonstrates why this duty is different to other key duties. This issue has been the subject of contention and is significant for remedial purposes. The book demonstrates the central and foundational nature of the duty to act in good faith in the interests of the company.</p>\n<p>The book also outlines the statutory duties in the <em>Corporations Act 2001</em> (Cth) which correspond to the general law duties, as well as the consequences of breach of the statutory and fiduciary duties of directors and the significance of fiduciary classification. Extensive examination of the position in the United Kingdom is provided, which is of direct relevance to the analysis of the Australian position and also to the interpretation of English law.</p>\n<p>The book therefore provides certainty for practitioners, academics and students in the organisation and application of key directors’ duties, presenting a clear structure for such organisation and application. Its outline and resolution of the contours of the fiduciary concept are also of direct relevance to scholars and practitioners in the areas of Equity and Trusts.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/directorsduties_rosemaryteelelangford.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20140929 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.63636363636363 AUD 1108 03 15 9781760025311 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 5edeb6f7-ed3a-467b-9469-aebd70081c1f BC 1 A01 Chris Ronalds 2 A01 Bronwyn Byrnes 6 338 10 LAW094000 12 2.1 LNHD 93 LNHD 01 05 The sixth edition of Discrimination Law and Practice has been completely updated and provides a comprehensive analysis which simplifies the complex definitions of unlawful discrimination including direct and indirect discrimination, reasonable adjustments and harassment. It provides the reader with detailed commentary about the protected areas covered by the legislation including employment, education and the provision of goods and services as well as the available defences. The authors also distil recent cases to illuminate the crucial but often vexed question of the available and appropriate remedies. For this edition, Chris Ronalds SC is joined by new co-author, barrister Bronwyn Byrnes. It includes a re-worked chapter on recent Federal Court decisions considering sexual harassment, and the changes made by the Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Act 2021 (Cth), the Anti-Discrimination and Human Rights Legislation Amendment (Respect at Work) Act 2022 (Cth) and the Australian Human Rights Commission Amendment (Costs Protection) Act 2024 (Cth). This concise account of discrimination law in Australia has established itself as a leading text, and an “indispensable handbook” (Victorian Bar News). It brings clarity with depth, and for more than 25 years has been relied upon lawyers, adjudicators, business people, human resources practitioners and industrial relations staff, advocates and students. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Ronals_DiscriminationLaw6e_Cover-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20241203 Federation Press 21 02 110 AUD 01 100 AUD 755 03 15 9781862878808 01 ONIX_NOSEQ e3818211-befc-43fb-9fd6-917205045b88 BZ 1 A01 John Tarrant 416 10 LAW052000 12 2.1 LA 93 LA 01 05 <p>Decision-makers must make unbiased decisions.

Dowling was knighted in 1838 and died in office at the age of 56.</p>\n<p>Dowling was a barrister and law reporter in London, prior to assuming judicial office. From the many thousands of cases heard by him during his sixteen years on the New South Wales Court, Dowling had planned to publish 465 as Australia's first set of law reports. Nine manuscript notebooks containing these cases, which Dowling called his 'Select Cases', have remained in state archives relatively untouched since Dowling's death in 1844.</p>\n<p>The present volume completes the task begun by Dowling over 161 years ago. It is a scholarly edition of the Dowling cases published by the Francis Forbes Society for Australian Legal History, with the assistance of the Council of Law Reporting for New South Wales, Macquarie University, the New South Wales Bar Association and the Maitland Fund.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Castle-Dowlings-Select-cases.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20050119 Federation Press 21 02 100 AUD 01 90.9090909090909 AUD 1063 03 15 9781760023454 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a02d0a34-3e88-459e-bf78-ccd22733a76f BB 1 B01 Barbara McDonald 2 B01 Ben Chen 3 B01 Jeffrey Gordon 464 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 This collection of essays from eminent judges, prominent practitioners and leading scholars analyses the work of one of the most important lawyers in Australian history, Sir Anthony Mason, Justice of the High Court of Australia from 1972 to 1987 and Chief Justice of Australia from 1987 to 1995. This book is primarily concerned with the law that Sir Anthony, with his fellow judges, declared and developed over his career in Australia on the High Court and subsequently in Hong Kong as one of the first Non-Permanent Judges on the Court of Final Appeal. Sir Anthony occupies a unique place in Australia that cries out for legal and historical analysis. His life has spanned Australia’s development from a British dominion whose domestic politics was dominated by the States to its emergence as a modern and independent federal nation. His Chief Justiceship followed closely on the heels of Australia finally asserting its status as a sovereign independent nation with the Australia Acts 1986. Extra-judicially, Sir Anthony has long been an incisive and influential commentator on many aspects of private and public law and on the role of the judiciary. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of Sir Anthony’s appointment to the High Court of Australia, this collection of essays seeks to highlight, evaluate and celebrate his work to ensure the dynamic and principled development of the law. The twenty-six contributors include five former associates to Sir Anthony who now hold senior judicial appointments themselves; members of the University of Sydney Law School, including William Gummow, who succeeded Sir Anthony on the High Court; and leading specialists at the Bar, the Australian National University, the National University of Singapore, and the University of New South Wales. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 includes chapters on the roles of the judiciary in democratic nations with a strong commitment to the separation of powers; Part 2 considers many aspects of constitutional, administrative and public law as they developed under the Mason court, including federalism and the implied freedom of political communication; Part 3 includes chapters on contract, property, equity, tort and private international law. The range of topics in this book reflects the extraordinarily wide and lasting influence of Sir Anthony Mason on Australian law, and on law-makers, judges, academics, students and lawyers over decades in Australia. 01 The Federation Press 20220614 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 960 03 15 9781760021825 01 ONIX_NOSEQ de53d707-e83e-4b8f-bb75-56d7fe5aeb4d BC 1 B01 Carolyn Sappideen 2 B01 Karen Williams 3 B01 Sue Field 368 10 LAW107000 12 2.1 LNTS 93 LNTS 01 05 <p><em>Elder Law</em> is a book for the legal practitioners, financial advisors, allied health professionals and medical practitioners working with older Australians. It is also a comprehensive and practical book for academics teaching the elder law advisors of the future.</p>\n<p>The book takes a multifaceted approach to the issues facing older Australians and is structured around key questions including:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who will make decisions for me if I am unable to?</li>\n<li>How can I record my decisions in advance so people can make decisions that align with my preferences?</li>\n<li>What services are available to support me?</li>\n<li>Where will I live?</li>\n<li>How do I plan a secure financial future for myself and my loved ones?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It responds to these questions in 20 chapters, each written by experts who are actively engaged in the field.

Included is a detailed discussion on when control of emergency response can be transferred from the lead agency to a central coordinating committee or to the police. This discussion identifies sources of potential role conflict that may pose a significant threat in the next major catastrophe. There is a new discussion on the role of local government in Australian emergency management and a revised and expanded discussion on the role of the Commonwealth.\n\nThe chapter on legal liability reports on the outcome of litigation arising from the catastrophic bushfires in 2001 (Sydney) and 2003 (Canberra).

Drawing on the extensive research of two of Australia's leading practical ethicists, this text is essential reading for all students and practitioners of applied and professional ethics in the public sphere. \n<P>Part A of the text provides a preferred theoretical and conceptual framework which both justifies and guides the development of a public sector ethics regime. \n<P>Part B examines the place of the individual within a world of institutional ethics. \n<P>Part C outlines the Queensland governance reforms introduced since 1989 following the <I>Fitzgerald Inquiry</I> which exposed corruption in the police and ministry.

The book continues to provide an in-depth analysis of: managing environmental conflict; development, planning and assessment; biodiversity and heritage protection; energy, climate and water law; pollution control; and corporate social responsibility.\n\nThe focus goes beyond NSW to take account of international as well as national developments, including a detailed analysis of the relevant Commonwealth law. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/envplanninglaw_lyster-1-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210317 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.63636363636363 AUD 659 03 15 9781862877481 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b73f95d0-b9f8-45fe-bc87-6580a8b303c6 BC 1 A01 Carolyn Hendriks 2 A01 Mehreen Faruqi 3 A01 Ronnie Harding 416 10 LAW034000 12 2.1 LNKJ 93 LNKJ 01 05 <p>Contemporary environmental decisions are made within the context of sustainability aimed at meeting integrated ecological, economic and social goals. Most involve a complex mix of actors and institutions - differing values and differing interests. Choices are difficult and often controversial, and decision-making processes and contexts provide crucial influences on outcomes.</p>\n<p>This book explores these processes and context and the influences which affect them. For example:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do different value systems influence what environmental issues come onto the public agenda, and their management?</li>\n<li>What institutions and actors are involved in the processes and how?</li>\n<li>What tools are available and what are their limitations?</li>\n<li>How should we deal with uncertainty and risk?</li>\n<li>How do we incorporate relevant but very different forms of knowledge, and how do we manage the information ‘explosion’?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The authors take a multidisciplinary approach and engage in themes from political science, law, economics, philosophy, natural sciences, geography, engineering and sociology. Their book is rich with practical examples, including three extensive case studies that illustrate the complexities and contestations of environmental decision-making..</p>\n<p>The book is aimed at the ever-widening range of people who are, or are hoping to become, environmental professionals, whether from the scientific, technical or social science fields. It is also relevant for interested members of the public.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/environmentaldecisionmaking_ronnieharding_carolynhendriks.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20090805 Federation Press 21 02 57.95 AUD 01 52.68181818181818 AUD 801 03 15 9781862879454 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 5aa33028-110d-4c98-8a12-cc74979c04bd BC 1 A01 Mandy Elliott 6 368 10 LAW034000 12 2.1 LNKJ 93 LNKJ 01 05 The sixth edition of<em> Environmental Impact Assessment in Australia: Theory and Practice</em> has been revised in the context of reviewing EIA practice around Australia and updates a number of case studies throughout the text to complement the theory. The case studies demonstrate key points within the text and should not be viewed as the only way of doing EIA (or a component of EIA).\n\nThomas’s experience in the historical context and evolution of environmental impact assessment and the research in this area of EIA provided in previous editions remains in many parts, although updated where relevant. The sixth edition focus continues to provide commentary on the evolving theory and practice regarding impact assessment, specifically strategic environmental assessment, cumulative impact assessment, health impact assessment, sustainability assessment, the role of EIA in developing countries and the issues surrounding post EIA monitoring.\n\nElliott’s experience working in EIA for the State Government of Victoria for ten years and most recently as a consultant assisting proponents with EIA, has provided insight into how EIA is undertaken in practice. Reflected throughout this edition is this practical application - how good assessments can lead to better decisions as well as how politics plays an integral role in EIA. Early and effective stakeholder consultation is also highlighted as an important mechanism to delivering a successful EIA process.\n\nOnce again, the Commonwealth, State and Territories EIA procedures, have been revised, as many of these jurisdictions have had their procedures reviewed over the past 4-5 years, including amendments to their EIA legislation, or to existing EIA Guidelines/administrative procedures. Notwithstanding these changes, the way in which EIA is undertaken still remains. That is, screening, scoping, EIS production, public review and Assessment. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/environmentalimpactassessmentinaustraliasixthedition_mandyelliott.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20140218 Federation Press 21 02 64.95 AUD 01 59.045454545454547 AUD 710 03 15 9781862878167 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 17acf366-b50d-4a91-9230-b674576f6a5d BC 1 A01 Ian Thomas 2 A01 Paul Murfitt 2 384 10 LAW034000 12 2.1 LNKJ 93 LNKJ 01 05 Increasingly industry, government and the community sees the critical need for environmental management. We have many techniques to manage specific parts of the environment, such as methods for controlling the salinity of ground water, and reducing energy consumption. However, rather than reacting to specific environmental problems, we also need tools to guide the many activities that take place in our society. These tools assess the environmental changes that may come from activities, and provide processes for reducing environmental impacts.\n\n<em>Environmental Management: Processes and Practices for Australia</em> provides understanding of the main approaches to Environmental Management that come from the areas broadly classed as social science, policy, system, or administrative. Specifically the focus is on the systems and processes that are used to guide the more technical elements of environmental management. This means looking at the ‘big picture’ of how to bring about broad environmental improvement through managing what organisations do: whether these organisations are government, private businesses, or within the general community.\n\nThis second edition of<em> Environmental Management: Processes and Practices in Australia</em> retains the focus and coverage of the first edition, but provides updated information about the developing management tools, such as corporate responsibility, and directions in government programs. Additional case studies have been included as have practitioners’ reflections.\n\nThe overall content covers:\n<ul>\n <li>context for the development of Environmental Management and its relationship to international environmental policy</li>\n <li>environmental policy in the public and private spheres</li>\n <li>frameworks of Environmental Management</li>\n <li>risk, and life cycle analysis; the key systems of Environmental Impact Assessment, and Environmental Management Systems</li>\n <li>plus environmental reporting, and auditing</li>\n</ul>\nImportantly, a chapter is devoted to the changes in organisations that will have to be thought about if Environmental Management is to be an integral part of the organisation’s operations. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/environmentalmanagement2e_ianthomas_paulmurfitt.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20110307 Federation Press 21 02 69.5 AUD 01 63.18181818181818 AUD 539 03 15 9781862876033 01 ONIX_NOSEQ dbf252de-2804-43e5-bea0-d0b4251945b9 BC 1 A01 Ian Thomas 512 10 LAW034000 12 2.1 LNKJ 93 LNKJ 01 05 <p><em>Environmental Policy: Australian Practice in the Context of Theory</em> offers a discussion of the processes and practices of environmental policy.

This new 4th edition has been extensively revised and updated to take account of developments in law, biomedical science, healthcare delivery and bioethics. Sections dealing with critical reasoning, problem solving, professionalism, negligence, standards of care, public health and the emerging biosciences have been considerably expanded and entirely new chapters have been added dealing with sexuality, culture, rural health, evidence and global health.\n\nAs with previous editions, the 4th edition of <em>Ethics and Law for the Health Professions</em> focuses on issues that are relevant both to clinicians and to health-policy-makers. It combines insights from philosophy, bioethics and the health social sciences, biomedical research data and case law. Importantly, this book recognises that health professionals must understand both the ethical and legal implications of their practice but is careful to distinguish between the two.\n\nThis book provides an invaluable resource for those who are responsible for the design and delivery of health care and for those who have an interest in how health care can best meet the needs and reflect the values of the community. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ethicsandlawforthehealthprofessionsfourthedition_iankerridge_michaellowe.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20130328 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 870 03 15 9781760020453 01 ONIX_NOSEQ df97b625-cb91-4875-8391-aed7ddd10f32 BC 1 B01 David Headon 2 B01 John Uhr 224 10 HIS004000 12 2.1 WQH 93 NHM 01 05 <p>The editors of this book boldly proclaim that Eureka is Australia's greatest story and they have gathered together some of our country’s finest historians to prosecute the case. Collectively, they compile a strong argument. In the late 19th century that acute American observer, Mark Twain, called the Ballarat rebellion ‘the finest thing in Australasian history’ and, like all such milestone moments in any country’s expanding tale, Eureka challenges because of the sheer number of interpretations that have been imposed upon it, both before Twain and after. During the sesquicentenary year of Eureka, 2004, one journalist rightly observed that Eureka ‘is not so much history as many versions of history’. The question of who ‘owns’ the Eureka story is destined never to be answered, but one thing is certain: the superb Charter of Bakery Hill, an irresistible sequence of goldfield events leading to tragedy, a cast of characters drawn straight from a classic novel, violence and murder on an early Sabbath morning in December 1854, and a never-ending aftermath that arguably has had more energy within it in the 20th and 21st centuries than it had in the 19th – these extraordinary elements of a grand narrative will forever stimulate the Australian imagination. <em>Eureka: Australia’s Greatest Story</em> is certain to stoke the fires.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/eureka_davidheadon_johnuhr.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20151126 Federation Press 21 02 29.95 AUD 01 27.227272727272723 AUD 449 03 15 9781862874947 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 64f73f60-ed5e-4b8a-96fd-d7ff51089fbc BC 1 A01 Stella Tarakson 2 288 10 LAW092000 12 2.1 LNA 93 LNTD 01 05 <P>The law is often seen as something intimidating and remote - but it shouldn’t be.

It draws on Australian evidence wherever possible, highlighting international evidence where Australian evidence is not available or is conflicting.</p>\n<p>Youth advocates, politicians, people interested in working with youth, along with existing practitioners in a diverse range of fields require an understanding about the nature of youth offending and ‘what works’ to prevent offending. The book is organised according to three broad themes that:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>provides up-to-date knowledge about the system and major approaches for understanding youth offending</li>\n<li>explores the usefulness of alternative approaches to prevent offending, and</li>\n<li>identifies the techniques necessary to establish an evidence base to influence decisions and promote change</li>\n</ul>\n<p>There is no quick fix to youth offending. Policy makers and practitioners need to critically examine the available evidence and select responses that are most likely to be effective for reducing offending, recognising the multiple contexts in which young people experience risk. This work provides the necessary information and promotes further development of the evidence base so that youth justice systems can better meet the needs of young Australians.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/evidencebasedpolicyandpracticeinyouthjustice_troyallard_susandennison.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20111111 Federation Press 21 02 64.95 AUD 01 59.045454545454547 AUD 824 03 15 9781876861131 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 08e76f0a-c998-49e6-8b2b-c27a344d52c3 BB 1 A01 Peter Heerey 288 10 LAW060000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAZ 01 05 In 40 years as a barrister and judge Peter Heerey AM QC has observed and taken part in memorable legal events.\n\nThis book is partly a collection of recollections: a murder trial, a Privy Council appeal, the leading High Court decision on the liability for barristers’ negligence and the <em>cause célèbre</em> of Professor Sydney Sparkes Orr and his dismissal by the University of Tasmania.\n\nIt is also a journey into the past and to other lands – both real and fictional. Notable historical and legal figures such as Andrew Inglis Clark, Sir Owen Dixon and Abraham Lincoln are profiled. Travels to the American South, Quebec, Vanuatu and Ireland provide the basis for stories that capture the culture, history and personalities of these countries.\n\nSome pieces look at legal issues in literary terms; others the converse, as where <em>The Merchant of Venice</em> is analysed from a commercial, economic and forensic perspective.\n\n<strong> </strong>With a lawyer’s eye for detail and a writer’s keen sense of place and people, Heerey’s stories will entertain and illuminate. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Heerey-Excursions-in-the-Law_HR-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20150515 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 956 03 15 9781760021788 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 55c1123b-bc12-4878-9ca4-0ab284d24c42 BC 1 A01 Renata Alexander 288 10 LAW038000 12 2.1 JFFE3 93 LNM 01 05 <p>With national homicide figures revealing that almost 40% of all homicides in Australia occur within families, there is a significant need for this book.

The first, <em>Fiduciary Obligations</em>, was published in 1977. It has been out of print for many years, though it is still widely cited both in judicial decisions in common law countries and in international scholarship on fiduciary law. It has been regarded widely as a ‘seminal’ or ‘classic’ piece. Its publication preceded two important developments. The first was the High Court of Australia’s systematic reappraisal of equity jurisprudence in the 1980s. This contributed significantly to the shaping and future direction of modern fiduciary law in Australia. The second was the growth in civil litigation in common law countries against banks, advisers in many guises, commercial ‘agents’, franchisees, joint venturers and other commercial actors which raised issues as to the extent to which, if at all, functions they performed for customers, etc, could attract strict fiduciary standards of conduct or merely those lesser standards otherwise imposed by the common law or equity.</p>\n<p>These two developments inform the second work in the volume, "The Fiduciary Principle", which was published in Canada in 1989, but is relatively unknown in Australia. Though its scope was limited designedly to those standards of conduct the fiduciary principle imposed on private law fiduciaries, it indicated when, and to what extent, a person or body would be a ‘fiduciary’ for the purposes of those standards. It accepted that, while ‘fiduciary’ could not be defined, it could be described. That description, founded on a ‘legitimate expectation’ test, is commonly used both in Australia and elsewhere.</p>\n<p>The third piece, "Fiduciary Reflections" was published in 2014 and contains the author’s personal reflections on the course of Australian fiduciary law since the publication of <em>Fiduciary Obligations</em>. It suggests that, despite the clear signposts for the future development of fiduciary law given by the High Court in the 1980s, recent decisions of subordinate Australian courts seem to be heading, unnecessarily, in the opposite direction. Now at risk are the coherence of fiduciary law and its rationale.</p>\n<p><strong>* Click here for information on our title <a href="../bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781760020804">Finn’s Law: An Australian Justice </a>edited by Tim Bonyhady.</strong></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: small;">From the Book Launch <em>Fiduciary Obligations</em> and <em>Finn’s Law</em>, address by The Hon Keith Mason AC QC, 9 February 2017...</span></p>\n<p style="text-align: left;">“<em>Fiduciary Obligations</em> comes with a modern Introductory Comment by Paul himself, a Preface by Sir Anthony Mason, and the reproduction of two of Paul’s many extra-judicial contributions on the topic.

The latter tracks developments in Paul’s thinking and scholarship on this topic over the past 40 years as well as its reception into law. ... <br />         Together, these two books will enable the discerning academic or practitioner to survey large swathes of law. The eminence of the various contributors allows us to be sure that we are shown where the law has come from, where it is going, and where the law in Australia is converging or diverging from that of overseas. <br />         Each book shows what vast strides have been made in the coherent understanding of legal and equitable principles, the magnetic interplay between statutory and judge-made law, and the convergence of public and private law discourse that has taken place in the 46 years since Paul Finn first slipped shyly into postgraduate studies at London University.” <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Supplements/Finn_Bonyhady_Launch_Speech_Feb2017.pdf">Read Launch Speech...</a></p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/finnslaw_timbonyhady.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20161128 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.63636363636363 AUD 607 03 15 9781862876842 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 27088791-0959-41df-a284-0c377ce0d027 BC 1 A01 Daryl McPhee 272 10 LAW034000 12 2.1 LNKN 93 LNKJ 01 05 Whether it’s throwing a fresh local prawn on the BBQ or dangling a line off the local jetty, fisheries resources are economically and socially important for many Australians. Australian fisheries have undergone significant management changes over the last decade and Australia is now recognised as a world leader.\n\nThis book is a comprehensive analysis of fisheries management in Australia. It provides practical insight into the cross-disciplinary tools of fisheries management. It takes the reader away from the outdated notion of “managing the fish” to the reality of managing human behaviour. It does so without losing track of the fundamental need to consider the ecosystem and its components.\n\nThe book covers a diverse range of contemporary topics including: sharing fisheries resources between commercial and recreational fishers, marine park planning, current regulatory and policy environments, consultative and participatory frameworks, by-catch mitigation and fisheries habitat management. It is a must for tertiary students studying fisheries, fisheries management professionals, the fishing industry and anyone else with an interest in how our valuable but finite fisheries resources are managed. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/fisheriesmanagementinaustralia_darylmcphee.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20080129 Federation Press 21 02 70 AUD 01 63.636363636363633 AUD 724 03 15 9781862878310 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 9fb9de9a-34ae-4b99-97c8-dedfa879011b BB 1 B01 Troy Bramston 480 10 POL055000 12 2.1 JP 93 JP 01 05 <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><em>Front cover images</em>:</strong> Bob Hawke, ACTU Congress, 15 September 1979 (Fairfax, © Michael Rayner);

They have challenged a number of assumptions in the field, for example, that courts must have the power to invalidate laws that are found to violate rights (ie courts can now be given non-binding powers), that courts must have the ‘final word’ on rights issues (ie legislatures can now be given the power to override judicial decisions) and that bills of rights are enforced exclusively by courts (ie legislators can now be given new responsibilities to ensure that the laws they enact are compatible with rights).</p>\n<p>This book addresses three questions arising from these developments. How do these new bills of rights differ from the traditional approaches to rights protection? Why, if at all, should we consider the Commonwealth’s approach over the traditional approaches? What compromises must be struck in the course of adopting a bill of rights of this variety? In answering these questions, the book sets out a new framework for comparison that focuses on the types of inter-institutional disagreement facilitated by and found in the different approaches to rights protection. It also identifies a previously unrecognised element of the Commonwealth’s approach – the normative trade-offs with other constitutional principles and values – that is pivotal to understanding its operation. Finally, it seeks to contribute to future debates about rights reform in Australia and elsewhere by setting out a number of lessons that emerge from the answers to these three questions.</p>\n<p>**Dr Scott Stephenson, <em>From Dialogue to Disagreement in Comparative Rights Constitutionalism</em>, was joint winner of the inaugural <a href="http://www.federationpress.com.au/holt-prize-2015.asp">Holt Prize</a> 2015.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/fromdialoguetodisagreement_scottstephenson.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20160927 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 820 03 15 9781862879690 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a9a0b385-e7be-4e40-bd4f-6f05fb98ec03 BB 1 A01 Kerrie Round 2 A01 Martin Shanahan 256 10 HIS004000 12 2.1 LNTU 93 NHM 01 05 Economists have explored the effect of restrictive practices on markets, and legal scholars have examined the legislation, policies and institutions in specific cases. This work takes a historical approach and examines the occurrence of cartels and other restrictive practices in Australia, their resilience, and the attempts to constrain them.\n\nFixing prices and rigging markets began with the First Fleet. Many practices were imported but home-grown firms embraced the anti-competitive culture. The small market size and population encouraged firms to stabilise their working environment. Colonial government legislation against these anti-competitive practices largely failed.\n\nThe first anti-trust legislation, passed in 1906, proved useless. Despite evidence of restrictive business practices, four Constitutional referendums to give the Federal government power to control trusts and monopolies failed, as did legislation in individual states.\n\nOver the years business became so reliant on government-initiated price controls that they initiated their own regulations. Import restrictions and tariffs protected firms from competition. State legislation proved ineffective. By the mid-1950s the Federal government could not ignore the problem.\n\nAfter much political wrangling, it was the conservative side of politics that guided legislation through Parliament in 1965. Horrified businessmen had to lodge agreements in a compulsory but secret Register of Trade Agreements. The 14,480 agreements in the Register reveal that similar competitive restrictions were repeated in different industries, at various levels, across Australia. Businesses sought security through collusive arrangements.\n\nThough weak, the <em>Trade Practices Act 1965</em> educated economists, lawyers, administrators and businessmen that restrictive practices were no longer defensible and opened the way for the Trade Practices Act 1974 that represented a great advance in consumer protection. The insights and efforts of earlier generations have much to teach contemporary regulators on how best to ensure competitive markets and prevent anti-competitive collusion. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/fromprotectiontocompetition_round_shanahan.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20150427 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.63636363636363 AUD 642 03 15 9781862877337 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a48c1d4a-ab6f-4789-ba7a-cf11e51115b2 BB 1 A01 Kerri Mellifont 224 10 LAW037000 12 2.1 LNAC3 93 LNAC3 01 05 <blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><em>“…The importance of derivative evidence and the way that courts treat its admissibility cannot be underestimated. In many cases, the determination of whether or not derivative evidence will be admitted has the functional effect of deciding the outcome of a trial. …” </em>\nM Wiseman, <em>“The Derivative Imperative: An Analysis of Derivative Evidence in Canada”</em> (1997) 39 <em>Criminal Law Quarterly </em>435, 491.</blockquote>\nThe fate of a criminal trial can be determined by a decision by the trial judge to exclude evidence which has come about by illegal or improper investigative means. An exclusion of a confession obtained involuntarily, or drugs located in an illegal search, can result in the collapse of a case against an accused.\n\nAlthough much has been written in Australia on the rule and discretions to exclude such evidence, little has been written on a particular species of such evidence, that is, evidence which is derived from evidence which has been obtained by illegal or improper investigative means. This is so even though a criminal law practitioner is not infrequently faced with a brief of evidence which contains evidence which has been derived from other evidence which itself was illegally or improperly obtained.\n\nDescribed variously in overseas literature as “derivative evidence” or “fruit of the poisonous tree”, this species of evidence gives rise to considerations which are peculiar to it when applying the exclusionary rule and discretions. Thus, the second or subsequent confession obtained after in consequence of an improperly obtained confession may require the judge to think differently on the question of exclusion. Similarly, the bank records located in consequence of scraps of paper found during an illegal search of an accused person’s residence may call into play additional factors to weigh in the balance required by the public policy discretion.\n\nThis text provides practitioners with a readily comprehensible analysis of the operation of the exclusionary rule and discretions in Australia, including the factors which come in to play generally with respect to all evidence illegally and improperly obtained, and more specifically with respect to derivative evidence. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/fruitofthepoisonoustree_kerrimellifont.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20100528 Federation Press 21 02 85 AUD 01 77.272727272727266 AUD 666 03 15 9781862877566 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f0c10f69-44db-4b03-a98b-2e3cfa9556cc BC 1 A01 Martin Vranken 2 336 10 LAW051000 12 2.1 LB 93 LB 01 05 <p>This book outlines the fundamentals of European civil law for readers more familiar with common law jurisdictions such as Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US.</p>\n<p>This fully revised and updated second edition retains the successful structure of the first.

Part 1 outlines how many people arrive, who they are, where they come from, and why they come. It also compares Australia’s experience of irregular migration to that of other countries, in light of the vast global movements of people and increasingly exploitative practices such as people smuggling and people trafficking.\n\nThe core of the book addresses the complex system of refugee law and policy in Australia. It explains the legal definition of who is a “refugee” and the administrative and judicial procedures for applying this definition to determine refugee status. It traces the changes to law and policy since 2001 following the infamous <em>Tampa </em>affair, the introduction of the “Pacific Strategy”, and the extension to West Papuans in 2006 of the policy of interdicting, deflecting, and processing asylum seekers offshore on Nauru and Christmas Island.\n\nThe final part of this book examines equally controversial laws and policies requiring the mandatory detention of unlawful non-citizens, including the key High Court decisions which confirmed the parliament’s power to detain a person indefinitely – and in breach of international human rights law. The living conditions in the detention centres and how Australia’s laws compare with other countries are also discussed.\n\n<em>Future Seekers II</em> builds on a shorter book by two of the authors in 2002. This book responds to the many changes to refugee and migration law between 2002 and 2006 and its deeper coverage of the issues reflects the growing sophistication of public understanding of – and concern about – refugee issues in Australia. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/futureseekersII_marycrock.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20060623 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 560 03 15 9781862876286 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 54328bfa-5cdf-4c99-9d78-a14566eb02a4 BB 1 A01 J M Bennett 300 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 <p>George Higinbotham’s extreme and uncompromising radical views and mesmerizing oratory have made him an iconic figure in Victoria’s colonial history – the darling of the liberals and the left.

Pratt sees the late 19th century as an important turning point; earlier concerns about the threat posed by the dangerous classes give way to a new set of concerns about dangerous criminals. He traces change to the present, identifying ‘Three Strikes’ laws and related initiatives as the latest in a long line of attempts to govern the dangerous. </P>\n<P>Drawing on material from Australia, New Zealand, England, the United States and Canada, the author argues that dangerousness is not a quality possessed by certain groups of offenders. Rather, it is a particular creation of modernity, possessing a life force that began when the concept of risk and its attendant strategies of management found their way into the social fabric. </P>\n<P>Ultimately, the dilemma of dangerousness is seen as political rather than ethical. Which to choose? The burdens of state regulation necessary to keep dangerousness under control? Or, intolerable license that reducing the role of the state gives to it?</P>\n 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/governingthedangerous_johnpratt.jpg 01 The Federation Press 19980124 Federation Press 21 02 44 AUD 01 40 AUD 1083 03 15 9781760024444 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0a469e3b-e38f-4b1f-b85c-22539f846d87 BZ 1 A01 Nicholas Seddon 7 603 10 LAW021000 12 2.1 LNCJ 93 LNCJ 01 05 When government entities make contracts, the ordinary law of contract is only a part of the law that is engaged. The seventh edition of Government Contracts: Federal, State and Local is a legal textbook, for both practitioners and participants, on the mixture of private and public law that is peculiar to all types of government contracting, apart from employment. The mixture of public and private law raises some difficult problems and is, at times, controversial. The focus is on the legal aspects and consequences of governments choosing to use contract and does not attempt to investigate the theoretical underpinnings of the contractualisation of government. It does, however, engage with the principal practical issues that need to be considered by government personnel. One specific area which raises a number of problems is outsourcing, in particular the outsourcing of human services. This book is therefore an essential resource for lawyers advising government or a counter-party in a government contract. It is also written to make the legal issues accessible to public servants or supplier personnel involved in the process. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Seddon_Gov-Contracts-frontcover_HR-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20230509 Federation Press 21 02 195 AUD 01 177.28 AUD 716 03 15 9781862878235 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 34d97281-c26c-451c-b02f-f6bf010da420 BC 1 B01 Danya Braunstein 2 B01 Wayne Warburton 272 10 SOC047000 12 2.1 YXZ 93 JBSP1 01 05 "I am often approached by parents and professionals who work with children, who have heard conflicting reports about the effects of violent or sexualised media on children.

The enactment of the <em>Habeas Corpus Act 2001</em> (NZ) and the large body of case law that has ensued.<br />        2. The change in nearly all of the relevant rules of court for almost every jurisdiction.<br />        3. Important shifts in the areas in which habeas corpus operates: <br />                     (a) the decline of the remedy in family law matters in Australia, but its retention in New Zealand; <br />                     (b) the decline in the use of habeas corpus in bail matters either because of the use of Bail Acts or because, in the New Zealand case, the <em>Habeas Corpus Act 2001</em> (NZ) excludes the remedy in bail matters; <br />                     (c) the rise of habeas applications in mental and nursing home cases no doubt reflecting the ageing of the population; <br />                     (d) shifts in the terminology to refer to the remedy. Despite these we will use the neutral term habeas corpus throughout.<br />        4. While the first edition stressed the origins of the remedy and the older cases, the new edition retains some of this, but the cases since 2000 are given priority.<br />        5.

It also describes and analyses relevant aspects of other legislation which impinges on OHS regulation – such as the provisions of the federal <em>Fair Work Act 2009</em> dealing with protection against victimisation because of OHS-related activity and right of entry to workplaces for OHS purposes.</p>\n<p>Like its predecessors, the new edition makes extensive reference to OHS law and practice in other jurisdictions, and to relevant international labour standards, notably the International Labour Organisation’s <em>Occupational Safety and Health Convention 1981</em> (No 155) and <em>Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention 2006</em> (No 187).</p>\n<p>Critically, the new edition locates the 2004 Victorian Act firmly in the context of the harmonised work health and safety regime which is enshrined in the model <em>Work Health and Safety Act</em>. Despite the fact that the Model Act was clearly based on the Victorian legislation, and is in force in most Australian jurisdictions, successive State Governments in Victoria have refused to sign up to the harmonised system.</p>\n<p>The authors clearly recognise, however, that it is impossible to understand or to apply the 2004 Act in isolation from the harmonised system. This is reflected in the inclusion of a lengthy chapter describing the evolution and substance of the harmonised system, and in the fact that all provisions of the 2004 Act are cross-referred to the parallel provision in the Model Act. Consequently, the fourth edition of Creighton & Rozen provides a valuable guide to the origins and substantive provisions of the harmonised legislation, as well as a detailed analysis of the Victorian system.</p>\n<p>The High Court in <em>Deal v Kodakkathanath</em> [2016] HCA 31 has taken an expansive view of the <em>Occupational Health and Safety Regulations</em>. In light of this case, this new edition of the book contains an expanded discussion of the civil breach of statutory duty action under the <em>Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2007</em> and <em>2017</em> which will be of interest to practitioners involved in work-related personal injury litigation.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/healthandsafetylawinvictoria_creightonrozen.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20170728 Federation Press 21 02 150 AUD 01 136.36363636363635 AUD 954 03 15 9781760021764 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f027096f-ba1a-4998-bc59-1bb29c89b8ed BZ 1 A01 J D Heydon 800 10 LAW052000 12 2.1 LA 93 LA 01 05 This insightful, rewarding and highly readable volume is a generous selection of the best of Dyson Heydon's speeches and papers. Most have a legal theme, although the book is of broader interest. As the Hon Ian Callinan observes in his foreword, in these papers the author "combines the arts of the essayist, historian, orator, obituarist, reviewer, critic, teacher and advocate".\n\nThe Honourable J D Heydon AC QC was a Rhodes Scholar for New South Wales, elected Dean of the University of Sydney Law School (aged 34), practised as a barrister (including as Queen's Counsel after practising as a junior for a mere 8 years), before being appointed a Judge of Appeal and Justice of the High Court. He was the Commissioner of the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption in 2014-2015.\n\n<em>"Any reader of the Papers will be struck by the depth and width of the author's scholarship. There is not one of the Papers that is not rich in unaffected literary, historical and legal allusion. They are a mine of interesting facts and intelligent fresh insights"</em> (from the Foreword by Ian Callinan).\n\n<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">From the Book Launch, 15 August 2018</span>:</span>\n\n<strong>The Hon Tom Bathurst AC, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New South Wales</strong>\n“There is much to say about Dyson Heydon’s achievements to date. This is attested to not just by the 800 pages comprising this book, but the fact that it represents a mere drop in the ocean of legal writing that Dyson has contributed both to this country and abroad. … To put it simply, this book stands out because of the breadth of the subjects the author has covered, and most extraordinarily, the depth to which he covers them. It reveals unparalleled ability in innumerable subjects including criminal, constitutional and comparative law. It also shows his ability to reflect deeply on the lives, habits and peculiarities of others, manifesting an understanding not just of the law, but of people – which some might say is a rare phenomenon in a lawyer.” <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Supplements/Heydon_BathurstLaunchSpeech_Aug2018.pdf">Read Launch Speech...</a>\n\n<strong>Mr Rodney Cavalier AO</strong>\n“Each chapter is devoted in good measure to a love of words – composing and arranging, sometimes meandering into tangents characteristic of an address, but always driving the thesis with purpose. The register does not matter: speaking, writing, conversation, advocacy, dissertation, book, chapter, judgment, letter. Whimsy or solemn. Dyson loves words. For that reason, he loves books (every element of them) and he loves the private library, the essential statement of a thinking person. What he admires is not secret, they permeate the consideration of every profile, living and dead – writing and scholarship, proficiency in other languages, war service, assuming leadership.” <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Supplements/Heydon_CavalierLaunchSpeech_Aug2018.pdf">Read Launch Speech...</a> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/selectedspeechesandpapers_heydon.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20180731 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.63636363636363 AUD 852 03 15 9781760020255 01 ONIX_NOSEQ ec83a019-508f-4795-b1d7-03ca86879085 BC 1 B01 Joan Squelch 2 B01 Patty Kamvounias 3 B01 Sally Varnham 288 10 LAW059000 12 2.1 JNM 93 LAT 01 05 <p>This book is the first in Australia dedicated to the legal environment of our universities. The law both drives and governs the evolution of Australia’s strong and vibrant system of higher education. Here, experts explore a wide range of areas of topical and salient interest, providing a comprehensive resource for those both within and outside the sector, including managers, governors, academics, legal practitioners and all who have an interest in the impact of the law on its operations.</p>\n<p>While their primary function today remains the provision of higher education and research, Australia’s universities are now large commercial global corporations. Their operations involve the management of a diverse range of relationships, both internal and external, and the law plays a central role in these. <em>Higher Education and the Law</em> first considers the legal framework of the higher education sector and the relationships universities have externally, particularly with government – their governance, their funding and accountability, and their maintenance of high standards and quality. It then traverses many of the areas where the law has a significant impact on the relationships universities have with their students and their staff.</p>\n<p>In a clear and readable style, the book covers matters from anti-discrimination and equal opportunity, transparency and due process in decision-making, employment and student matters, to property rights such as copyright and ownership of intellectual property. It focuses on those issues of the most practical relevance to today’s higher education environment.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/highereducationandthelaw_pattykamvounias_sallyvarnham.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20150623 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 7762 03 15 9781862879379 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b4630eed-7f7c-4ed1-8ba5-aa15703771dc BB 1 B01 Elisabeth Peden 2 B01 J A Watson 3 B01 Justin T Gleeson 4 B01 Ruth C A Higgins 1040 10 LAW060000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAZ 01 05 Justice McHugh once said that a lack of understanding of legal history was a misfortune, not a privilege. That was an understatement. As well as being essential for any Australian lawyer, the history underlying and informing the Australian legal system is a uniquely interesting amalgam of English, American and local developments.\n\nThe two volumes of <em>Historical Foundations of Australian Law</em> set the very highest standards of analysis and scholarship. Each is introduced by a useful and perceptive commentary by James Watson. Together, they contain 31 essays by distinguished judges and practitioners and academics. Although each essay is self-contained, in combination they yield a rich analysis of how Australian law has reached its present state.\n\nThe first volume, <a href="https://federationpress.com.au/product/historical-foundations-of-australian-law-volume-i/"><em>Institutions, Concepts and Personalities</em></a>, contains incisive assessments of key figures such as Sir Owen Dixon and Justice Joseph Story (by Justices Hayne and Allsop respectively), and of key developments such as the establishment of an Australian land law, the reception of the common law, the growth to nationhood, the changing role of precedent and the separation of powers. There are essays on the very early influences on Australian law from the leading early texts (Glanvill and Bracton), from early English statutes and from Roman law. There are essays on the growth of equity, and even a modern dialogue on the Judicature legislation. And there are accounts of legal procedure, which is ultimately the source of much substantive law, and of the jurisprudential figures who have sought to analyse law.\n\nThe second volume, <a href="https://federationpress.com.au/product/historical-foundations-of-australian-law-volume-ii/"><em>Commercial Common Law</em></a>, complements the first: distinguished judges, practitioners and academics write on many aspects of commercial practice, often viewed through more than one prism. Thus there are chapters on money and bills of exchange, and cheques and banking, and on the actions often associated with them (notably debt and conversion), and on Lord Mansfield’s contribution to commercial law. There are chapters on how the basic elements of the law of torts and contract came into existence, from a variety of perspectives. There are analyses of privilege, defamation, assignment and implied terms. There are chapters on corporations, agency and insolvency, and a notable one on restitution (by Ian Jackman SC) that poses a challenge to thinking which has become orthodox outside Australia.\n\nThese volumes are a very distinguished contribution to Australian legal literature, and the essays will bear reading and re-reading. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Desert-Pea-002.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20130703 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 145.45454545454544 AUD 776 03 15 9781862879058 01 ONIX_NOSEQ d0f7ab69-aaf9-4e59-ad6f-21d3753468dd BB 1 B01 J A Watson 2 B01 Justin T Gleeson 3 B01 Ruth C A Higgins 528 10 LAW060000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAZ 01 05 The history underlying and informing the Australian legal system is a uniquely interesting amalgam of English, American and local developments. It is often poorly understood – not least because there are no modern counterparts to this volume and its companion on commercial law. But, as Holmes long ago pointed out, in order to know what the law is we must first know what it has been. This volume not only discharges that function, informing its readers clearly and lucidly, but it also demonstrates how Australian legal history may be examined from a range of perspectives, leading to a deeper and richer understanding.\n\nThis first volume of 15 essays, by distinguished judges and practitioners, sets the very highest standards of analysis and scholarship. There are incisive assessments of key figures such as Sir Owen Dixon and Justice Joseph Story (by Justices Hayne and Allsop respectively), and of key developments such as the establishment of an Australian land law, the reception of the common law, the growth to nationhood, the changing role of precedent, and the separation of powers. There are essays on the very early influences on Australian law from the leading early texts (Glanvill and Bracton), from early English statutes and from Roman law. There are essays on the growth of equity, and even a modern dialogue (in accordance with an ancient tradition) on the Judicature legislation. And there are accounts of legal procedure, which is ultimately the source of much substantive law, and of the jurisprudential figures who have sought to analyse law. The introductory essay by Justin Gleeson and James Watson provides an overview of the volume, as well as being a powerful argument for why an understanding of legal history is not optional but essential.\n\nThree of the authors have been appointed to judicial office since preparing these essays, and another has been made Solicitor-General of Australia. All have made distinguished contributions, and their essays will bear reading and re-reading, for all Australian lawyers looking for a deep understanding of how the Australian legal system operates. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Watson-Historical-Found-Vol1_HR-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20130703 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 7761 03 15 9781862879065 01 ONIX_NOSEQ ca1f919d-8667-4cab-8fc7-ef05ae9b0430 BB 1 B01 Elisabeth Peden 2 B01 J A Watson 3 B01 Justin T Gleeson 512 10 LAW060000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAZ 01 05 Questions arising in commercial law require an understanding of legal history, no differently from any other area of law, and, as the High Court observed in <em>Andrews v ANZ</em> [2012] HCA 30 at [14], what is needed is more than a “brief backward glance”. These essays provide a suite of materials to enable a sophisticated and informed understanding of basic questions throughout commercial law. Their range extends to many aspects of commercial practice, often viewed through more than one prism. Thus, there are chapters on money and bills of exchange, and cheques and banking, and on the actions often associated with them (notably debt and conversion), and on Lord Mansfield’s contribution to commercial law. There are chapters on how the basic elements of the law of torts and contract came into existence, from a variety of perspectives. There are valuable analyses of privilege, defamation, assignment and implied terms. There are chapters on corporations, agency and insolvency. The chapter on restitution poses a challenge to thinking which has become orthodox outside Australia, as well as learnedly and deftly exposing the conceptual and practical difficulties accompanying that approach. The collection as a whole is introduced by James Watson, who demonstrates how each essay informs and influences commercial law in Australia in the 21st century.\n\nThese essays, once again by distinguished judges, practitioners and academics, complement those in the first volume. They provide insight and a deep understanding for students, practitioners and academics of fundamental issues in commercial law. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Watson-Historical-Found-Vol2_HR-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20130703 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 708 03 15 9781862878143 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 97d7623a-0cf8-46ca-bdef-c78ecc020a1b BC 1 A01 Tamara Walsh 330 10 LAW094000 12 2.1 LNT 93 LNHD 01 05 <p>Homeless people want to be treated with dignity and respect: by the law, by the community, by government systems and by individuals.

In 2004 the Victorian Law Reform Commission released, <em>Defences to Homicide: Final Report</em>, which recommended major changes to the law of homicide in Victoria. In 2005, the Victorian government responded to the 56 recommendations by implementing the largest package of homicide law reforms since the abolition of the death penalty. Changes to the law included abolition of the controversial partial defence of provocation, the introduction of a new offence of defensive homicide (now abolished) and evidence reforms designed to improve understandings of family violence. This book brings together leading scholars, legal practitioners and the former Victorian Attorney-General to provide a comprehensive examination of the Victorian experience of reform, including its perceived successes and failures.</p>\n<p>This is a controversial area of the law that continues to present challenges in practice. Since the 2005 reforms further reform of the law has occurred in Victoria and a range of divergent approaches to homicide law reform have been introduced and animated debate across Australia and internationally. With such a high level of law reform activity nationally, this book provides a timely analysis of the extent to which the Victorian reforms have improved legal responses to lethal violence and with what effect in practice. To further enhance this analysis, the book also looks internationally to consider the operation of homicide law in England and Wales, Canada and New Zealand and what lessons could be gained from understanding the impact of differing approaches to reform.</p>\n<p>This book explores a number of issues concerning the operation of the law of homicide, sentencing practices, the role of the media, evidence reforms, legal culture, political influences and future reform challenges for Victoria and other Australian jurisdictions. In examining all aspects of the 2005 homicide law reforms, the book draws on the views of those who were involved in reviewing the law of homicide in Victoria, those who recommended and implemented reform, and those who have played a key role in the monitoring and evaluation of the law post-reform in Victoria but also more widely in Australia and internationally. The resulting analysis will be of great interest to legal, criminology and socio-legal scholars as well as legal practitioners and law reformers in Australia and comparative international jurisdictions.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/homicidelawreforminvictoria_ariefreiberg_katefitzgibbon.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20150918 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 621 03 15 9781862877030 01 ONIX_NOSEQ c54993dd-a05a-4445-b152-67f4f44ba282 BC 1 B01 Shirleene Robinson 272 10 HIS004000 12 2.1 LNT 93 NHM 01 05 <P>Homophobia is a prejudice with effects that extend far beyond the gay and lesbian community.  While its physical, emotional and social effects have been charted to some extent, the development of homophobia in Australia has yet to be fully explored. \n<P><EM>Homophobia: An Australian History </EM>is the first book to consider homophobia in a distinctively Australian context. In this collection, thirteen well-known scholars examine the embedded homophobic attitudes that Australian gay and lesbian activists have fought to change. The book traces the evolution of homophobia, from its expression in Australia’s past as a colonial settler society, through to manifestations in present day society. \n<P>The compilation of this text is timely, given the 2007 release of the <EM>Same Sex: Same Entitlements</EM> report of the <EM>Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission</EM>. The release of this report, which focused on institutionalised and legal homophobia, has raised public awareness of these issues and sparked broader debates about homosexual rights. The thirtieth anniversary of <EM>Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras </EM>earlier this year also offers an ideal opportunity to reflect on the past gains and future goals of the gay and lesbian rights movement. \n<P>The collected chapters in this book argue that homophobia developed in conjunction with the growth of a modern homosexual identity in the second half of the nineteenth century. To various extents, the legal and medical professions and other social institutions have perpetuated homophobic attitudes. <EM>Homophobia: An Australian History </EM>raises awareness of the devastating impact these attitudes can have on individuals and on society.</P>\n<P><STRONG>Addendum:</STRONG> \n<DT>At the commencement of Page IX, Dr Ruth Ford’s name and academic position was omitted.

Michael Hunt has been joined as co-author by Tim Kavenagh, a Western Australian mining lawyer with over 30 years’ experience both as a barrister appearing in the courts on mining matters and as an in-house counsel to major corporations. James Hunt is the third co-author, and involved on a daily basis with mining-related commercial activity, mining tenure advice and Warden’s Court matters.</p>\n<p>Many changes have taken place in Western Australian mining law since the previous edition was published seven years ago – 10 amendments to the Mining Act and 20 amendments to the Mining Regulations. In that period, there has been a substantial volume of case law through decisions in the High Court, the Supreme Court and the Warden’s Court. Other significant changes have arisen as a result of more experience of the impact of the Native Title Act on the application of mining law and because the intervening seven years have enabled the authors to gain much practical experience with the processes for proceedings before the Warden, which were new and untested when the fourth edition was published.</p>\n<p>The authors have expanded the scope of the book to include new chapters on environmental protection and mines safety.

Willis, the fifth judge to be appointed to the Supreme Court of New South Wales, served in three colonies, and in each place he wrestled with the role of the law in a rapidly-changing society. In Upper Canada, he confronted the colony's transition from an oligarchy into a nascent democracy; in his next posting, in British Guyana, he was responsible for helping the colony implement, and absorb the consequences of, the abolition of slavery. New South Wales, his final posting, presented unique legal problems as it evolved from a penal colony into a free settlement, and the new settlement at Port Phillip began to grow.</p>\n<p>To these troubled societies, Judge Willis brought an acute legal mind and a stormy personality – he was twice dismissed from his post by the local Governor. Earlier studies have tended to view him either as a wronged genius or a vain, deranged misfit. Max Bonnell, an experienced lawyer and Adjunct Professor of Law at Sydney University, has rediscovered Willis as a contradictory figure – Australia's first activist judge, who was nonetheless a stickler for the letter of the law; the author of several remarkably humane and enlightened judgments, who was capable of endorsing appalling cruelty; and a man who insisted upon decorum and propriety, yet was undone by his own conspicuous failures of self-control.</p>\n<p style="text-align: left;">“Willis’ story was ripe for the telling, its central protagonist is a character of colour and drama who attracted many a cause célèbre. As one journalist of the time recorded, “as there was no theatre in town, Judge Willis was reckoned to be ‘as good as a play’”. Max’s book is also peppered with amusing titbits from history, from the unlikely first train accident to Willis’ family connection to Queen Elizabeth II. While the facts alone paint a fascinating picture, this book is not just a recital of facts; it is accompanied by regular and incisive analysis, a credit to the author’s perceptiveness and ability.” <a href="</a></p>\n<em>From the Launch Speech by The Hon T F Bathurst AC, Chief Justice of New South Wales</em></p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ilikeaclamour_maxbonnell.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20170215 Federation Press 21 02 89.95 AUD 01 81.772727272727266 AUD 695 03 15 9781862877979 01 ONIX_NOSEQ d4cbc7a1-ebc6-43a2-af8a-08fe0a95dc85 BC 1 A01 Laurie Berg 2 A01 Mary Crock 752 10 LAW032000 12 2.1 LNDA1 93 LNDA1 01 05 <p>This book provides a comprehensive analysis of immigration law in Australia and of the political, social and cultural forces that have shaped and are shaping it.

In Australia, industrial relations has been subject to numerous reforms by both Labor and Liberal-National Party Coalition governments during recent decades.\nThis book critically analyses recent changes in work and employment relations and their policy implications for Australia. Scholarly essays by prominent experts in the field examine the lessons that can be learned from previous attempts to reform industrial relations by governments with different political agendas and challenges which may lie ahead.\nSome of the key questions addressed in this book include:\n\nWhat can be learned from past attempts to reform the industrial relations system?\nWhat have been the impacts of recent legislative reforms from the Howard government’s ‘WorkChoices’ to the Rudd/Gillard government’s ‘Fair Work Australia’ and the recent Abbott/Turnbull government’s policies on industrial relations?\nHow does politics influence proposals for industrial relations reform?\nWhat reforms are required in relation to women, work and family issues?\nHow should collective bargaining and dispute settlement systems be reformed?\nHow have wages and productivity been affected by reforms of the industrial relations system?\nWhat are the key issues facing Australia in relation to immigration and workforce skills?\n\nThe book is based on a symposium which celebrated the outstanding contributions of Professor Joe Isaac to scholarship and the practice of industrial relations in Australia and at the international level for more than seven decades. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/industrialrelationsreformlookingtothefuture_russelllansbury_keithhancock.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20160713 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 893 03 15 9781760020729 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 056a7f30-0e7b-49bb-883c-d9f5da3c1260 BC 1 A01 Ann Monotti 2 A01 Mark Davison 3 A01 Stephen Barkoczy 4 A01 Tamara Wilkinson 672 10 LAW022000 12 2.1 LNCD 93 LNCD 01 05 <em>Innovation and Venture Capital Law and Policy</em> examines the Australian innovation system, focusing on the broad range of government programs that have been introduced over the years to foster innovation and encourage venture capital investment in entrepreneurial start-up and early stage companies. It discusses the importance of innovation to a country’s economic growth and the critical role that venture capital plays in financing new businesses. The book also looks at the innovation systems in the United States and Israel. Both countries have been selected for comparative purposes as they have highly developed innovation systems and are widely respected as world leaders in venture capital investment.\n\n<em>Innovation and Venture Capital Law and Policy</em> has been written as a scholarly monograph that explores these topics in detail. It is designed to be a practical resource for entrepreneurs running start-up and early stage companies, angels and venture capitalists who invest in such companies, staff engaged in university technology transfer offices, and accountants and lawyers who advise these parties. In addition, the book should also be of use to governments and policymakers that are involved in designing and administering innovation and venture capital programs, as well as to scholars and students studying innovation and venture capital law and policy. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/innovationandventurecapitallawandpolicy_stephenbarkoczy_tamarawilkinson.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20160829 Federation Press 21 02 135 AUD 01 122.72727272727272 AUD 837 03 15 9781862879867 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 6bf9aecc-b64a-4a92-adb0-d4abfab9d6a5 BC 1 A01 Alpana Roy 2 A01 Natalie Stoianoff 3 A01 Rocque Reynolds 5 832 10 LAW050000 12 2.1 LNR 93 LNR 01 05 <em>Intellectual Property: Text and Essential Cases</em> continues to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date legal analysis of modern intellectual property law.\n\nThis edition considers important new cases which expose the ever expanding reach of intellectual property law in Australia.

The wide and largely disparate world of regulators is late to the idea of professionalising decision-making despite this need being well understood and ingrained in national security and, to a lesser extent, law enforcement.</p>\n<p>The book draws largely from the experience of the author as a former intelligence officer, as a builder of intelligence and decision-systems across many sectors, and as a user of intelligence in leading regulatory operations. The narrative leads the reader through the barriers to effective regulatory decision-making, then to case studies of regulatory failure, and concludes with practical guidance on building and improving intelligence systems. Theoretical references are drawn from a number of sources and, in particular, the book acts as a companion piece to <em><a href="../bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781862877818"> Managing Intelligence: The Art of Influence </a></em> (Quarmby and Young, 2010) which contains the fundamentals of contemporary intelligence craft.</p>\n<p>While oriented towards compliance and regulation, the content can be applied across other public and private sectors, especially where consideration of external change agents is important in decision-making. If in doubt, simply insert the name of your organisation or field where you read the word ‘regulator’ and you may be surprised how many of the observations echo your own organisational circumstance.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/intelligenceinregulation.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20181121 Federation Press 21 02 69.95 AUD 01 63.590909090909086 AUD 816 03 15 9781862879638 01 ONIX_NOSEQ c53ee808-ff29-4052-84b7-2ad131377882 BC 1 A01 Corrie Goodhand 2 A01 Peter O'Brien 240 10 LAW087000 12 2.1 LNV 93 LNV 01 05 <p><em>Intentional Tort Litigation in Australia</em> considers the high frequency intentional torts of assault, battery, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution throughout Australia.

The authors consider practical matters necessary in determining whether a claim may be brought; if so, how and against whom; what potential damages, or limitation of damages, may exist; possible defences at common law or arising under statute; and relevant issues that arise in obtaining and using documents in these proceedings. The book is a useful foundation and practical guide for lawyers conducting intentional tort litigation.

The authors detail the aims and historical development of intergovernmental and private systems of cross-border trading rules and institutions.\n\nThe first half of the book focuses on the framework provided to the international trading system by the World Trade Organization (WTO), including the public international law dimension of trade, namely the exchange of goods, services and intellectual property rights, and competition remedies and foreign investment measures.\n\nThe second half of the book expands on the legal ramifications of private actions in the international trading system and covers the contractual aspects of sales, transportation, payments and disputes settlement. The final chapter critically evaluates which aspects of the international trade should be regulated by the principles of justice.\n\nEvery chapter includes an appendix with workshop activities, which are crucial to bridging the gap between theory and practice in the understanding of international trade law.\n\n<strong>From the Foreword:</strong>\n<em>“You are about to embark on the study of international trade law using a textbook that incorporates the most advanced and up-to-date research on the law treaties, statutes, cases and doctrines that together make up international trade law today.” – Professor Frank J Garcia, Boston College Law School</em>\n\n<hr />\n\nErrata statement: The authors of <em>International Trade Law</em> acknowledge and wish to correct the following error on p xii (Acknowledgments) of the book.\n\nThe phrase:\nMs Stephanie Hunt, CIArb – Advisor at the Law Society of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia for her assistance with Chapter 9 (International Trade Disputes).\n\nshould read:\nMs Stephanie Hunt, CIArb, Solicitor Member of the Law Society of NSW (Australia), for her assistance with Chapter 9 (International Trade Disputes). 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/internationaltradelaw_dilietotreisman.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20180530 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 752 03 15 9781862878792 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b7b5de06-c5cb-4d3a-bdef-fc75f037edea BC 1 B01 Indira Carr 2 B01 Md Jahid Hossain Bhuiyan 3 B01 Shawkat Alam 544 10 LAW014010 12 2.1 LBBM 93 LBBM 01 05 <p>This book is dedicated to the memory of Professor Azizur Rahman Chowdhury.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>The book discusses some notable debates in the arena of international trade law and globalisation. It looks at the basic structure of the WTO, its function, and decision-making, and explores key economic and legal concepts underpinning the WTO, including Most-Favoured Nation Treatment and National Treatment.</p>\n<p>The need of the hour is to discuss tariff barriers and non-tariff barriers, as they assist in promoting economic development. Besides these, the WTO attempts to control illegal trade practices, including dumping and subsidies, which are also pertinent topics in the current climate.</p>\n<p>The book examines many of these issues through exploring the jurisprudence and regulatory framework of WTO. It examines the existing WTO jurisprudence to reconcile trade liberalisation with other societal values and interests. Furthermore, it highlights the regulation of international trade in agricultural products. Overall, this book shows that international trade law of the WTO is not a self-contained discipline, but has clear connections with other social, economic, and environmental subjects.</p>\n<p>The WTO interacts with these issues, and thus the book discusses, clarifies and identifies its relationship with human rights, intellectual property rights and the environment. It discusses the following topics in single chapters; Trade, Globalisation and Economic Policy; WTO and Environment; WTO and Human Rights; WTO and Regulation of International Trade in Agricultural Products; WTO and Developing Countries. The book provides a unique, interdisciplinary, and refreshing approach to the study of international trade law and the WTO.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/internationaltradelawandtheworldtradeorganisation_mdjahidhossainbhuiyan_shawkatalam.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20130614 Federation Press 21 02 145 AUD 01 131.81818181818181 AUD 223 03 15 9781862872417 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a9623cb9-63a2-4a09-9236-63937a74ca4e BB 1 B01 Charles Sampford 2 B01 Kim Preston 288 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 <P>Constitutions can be viewed as the road map of liberal democracies.

Yet, it is rarely considered through an interpretive lens. This collection of papers from some of Australia’s leading judges, practitioners and academics explores how Australian courts do construe the scope of executive power, and how they should.\n\nIn particular, the collection focuses on the ways in which courts should interpret statutes which confer powers on the executive branch, and the challenges posed in this regard by the proliferation of statute law, contemporary legislative drafting techniques, and broader developments in the field of statutory interpretation. These themes of statutory interpretation and executive power have dominated recent High Court decisions in public law as well as the speeches and extra-curial writings of High Court judges in recent years.\n\nThe collection also examines the related topic of the interpretation of non-statutory executive power, with a particular focus on how statutory and non-statutory power might interact, and whether the principles which guide the interpretation of powers that come from statute might also be deployed in the non-statutory realm. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/interpretingexecutivepower_bougheycrawford.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20200120 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 145.45454545454544 AUD 713 03 15 9781862878198 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 624dfdd4-15b8-4ec3-b149-0487cee53082 BC 1 A01 Jamila Hussain 3 302 10 LAW119000 12 2.1 LAFS 93 LAFS 01 05 Since Islam: Its Law and Society was first published in 1999, there have been a number of events which have brought Islam and its followers into the forefront of discussion in western society. The most notable of these were the terrorist attacks on the United States on 11 September 2001 and the subsequent London and Bali bombings which led to unprecedented security legislation in western countries, including Australia, and to a public climate of fear and distrust of Islam and Muslims.<br />At the same time, there has been a huge expansion of the Islamic finance industry throughout the world, and governments in western countries, including Australia, have been seeking ways of taking advantage of the financial benefits of Shariah compliant banking and finance. Additionally, as Muslims have settled in western countries in larger numbers, there has been much discussion of the ways in which they should integrate into the legal system and culture of their new societies.<br />This book provides an introduction to Islamic law for western readers. It explains the origin and development of the Shariah (Islamic law). It contains updated chapters on the Islamic laws of War and Peace, including juristic opinions on the legality of suicide bombing and the use of modern weapons of mass destruction. It explains the commonalities and the differences in family laws, and the differences in Muslim opinion concerning the status of women. It contains a completely rewritten chapter on Islamic finance and rounds off with a look at Muslim communities in Australia and the way they live their lives. 712 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/islamlawandsociety3e_jamilahussain.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20110919 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 1099 03 15 9781760025007 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 45956405-61f0-439b-8006-b79f52992589 BB 1 B01 John Griffiths and James Stellios 272 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 This collection of essays and commentaries is the second volume in a series which brings together many of Australia’s leading authorities on Australian constitutional law to pay tribute to Professor Zines’ enduring legacy.

She was the only Australian woman delegate at the founding of the United Nations in 1945; the initiator of the 1967 “Aboriginal” amendment of the Australian Constitution; the colleague of Pablo Picasso on the World Peace Council Executive; and a controversial promoter of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, known as “Red Jessie” to a generation of Australians. </P>\n<P>She led an extraordinary, vivid life. Her autobiography, written with candour and humour, is a guidebook to the 20th century. From Jessie’s early life in the Australian bush, readers join suffragette marches in London; hear civil rights singers in the jazz clubs of New York; visit occupied Egypt, imperial India, outback Australia, Stalin’s Moscow; witness the Anschluss and Sudetenland crises in Europe in 1938; and see the destroyed cities of London, Berlin, Leningrad, and Hiroshima after the Second World War. \n<P>Her life was one dedicated to peace and justice. The daughter-in-law, wife and mother of three Chief Justices, she met and worked with extraordinary figures such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Nancy Astor, Margaret Sanger, Jawaharal Nehru and many others. \n<P>Her autobiography, first published in 1966, is now reissued, corrected and edited, a sparkling, powerful, bright book that truly reflects Jessie Street’s energy, charm and practical humanitarianism. </P> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/jessiestreet_lenorecoltheart.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20040223 Federation Press 21 02 30 AUD 01 27.27272727272727 AUD 963 03 15 9781760021856 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 820a4cd7-5339-4308-91e8-43681ec77df4 BZ 1 B01 Susan Crennan 2 B01 William Gummow 3 336 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 Although it is now ninety years since he was first appointed to the High Court and fifty five years since he retired as Chief Justice, <a href="../bookstore/author.asp?id=1662"> Sir Owen Dixon</a> remains the towering figure in Australian jurisprudence. He is widely viewed as our greatest and most influential judge. While Dixon’s judgments continue to be cited by courts and debated by scholars, his extra-judicial writings have been more difficult to obtain and having accordingly received less attention. The publication of this new expanded edition of <em>Jesting Pilate</em> will help redress the balance, bringing as it does less studied aspects of Dixon’s expansive and worldly intellect to the fore again.\n\nIn addition to reorganising the original papers, the Editors have enlarged the collection significantly by including two previously unpublished addresses by Sir Owen Dixon, as well as two papers by Dixon’s former associate and friend James Merralls AM QC which provide important context about Dixon’s life and work. Additionally insight into Dixon’s legacy is provided by the inclusion of important papers by each of the editors. Finally, the speech delivered by Sir Ninian Stephen on the 100th anniversary of Dixon’s birth is included, as is a new <em>Foreword</em> by the Hon Susan Kiefel, Chief Justice of Australia.\n\nAs the Editors note in their Introduction:\n<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>The materials collected in Jesting Pilate, prepared for disparate occasions, demonstrate aspects of Dixon’s personality which might otherwise remain elusive: the warmth of his friendships, his love of an allusive joke and his perspicacity about world affairs and the personalities shaping them. … It is our hope that this third edition of Jesting Pilate confirms Dixon’s past and continuing contribution to developments in Australian law and reaffirms his stature as a great man.</em></p>\n<strong><span style="font-size: small;">From the Book Launch <em> Jesting Pilate</em>, address by The Hon Murray Gleeson AC at the Banco Court, Supreme Court of New South Wales, 31 July 2019...</span></strong>\n\n“The Honourable Susan Crennan and the Honourable William Gummow, and The Federation Press, have done an important service to legal history and scholarship by the production of this Third Edition of extra-curial writings and speeches by Sir Owen Dixon, a towering figure of the twentieth century with a reputation of pre-eminence, not only in Australia, but throughout the common law world.\nThe Third Edition differs from the earlier editions in two important respects. First, the papers and addresses are re-arranged and helpfully classified in a manner that makes them more accessible. Second, as an introductory section, there are commentaries on Sir Owen Dixon and his work by Sir Ninian Stephen, James Merralls, SEK Hulme and the two Editors themselves. This introductory material is not only valuable in itself, but will also be very useful for modern lawyers who may not be as familiar with Dixon’s place in the legal landscape as people of my generation…” <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Supplements/CrennanGummow_LaunchSyd_Speech_July2019.pdf"> Click here to read the full launch speech</a>\n\n<strong><span style="font-size: small;">From the Book Launch <em> Jesting Pilate</em>, address by Professor Michael Crommelin AO at the Supreme Court of Victoria Library, 24 July 2019...</span></strong>\n\n“It is a very great honour to be invited to launch this third edition of <em>Jesting Pilate</em> in Melbourne ...

Better, not just more, jobs are what are now needed. Good quality jobs boost the economic and social well-being of individuals, firms, families, communities and countries. Countries with better job quality have higher rates of employment, lower rates of unemployment and higher levels of productivity and innovation. Unfortunately Australia has fallen behind the curve in terms of job quality-related policy and research and it needs to come up to speed rapidly. If Australia is to be a great country it must invest in creating quality jobs. The political will in Australia to improve job quality needs to be underpinned by improved understanding of job quality.\n\nThis book brings together Australia’s leading researchers of job quality across a range of disciplines. Disciplines covered include law and industrial relations, economics, sociology, psychology, health science, and geography. These experts outline current problems with job quality policy and research in Australia, and their perspectives on and proposals for improving that policy and research. The outcome is a book that provides the foundation and impetus necessary for Australia to develop its own research and policy agendas around job quality. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/9781862879669.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20140801 Federation Press 21 02 64.95 AUD 01 59.045454545454547 AUD 773 03 15 9781862879010 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 8a6d3011-4020-4ab6-9cb8-57b8fd8996c2 BZ 1 B01 W D Duncan 3 592 10 LAW022000 12 2.1 LNCD 93 LNCD 01 05 Following upon the success of the 2nd edition published in 2005, this new edition not only updates its predecessor but also adds considerable new material in consequences of changes in the law generally and commercial approaches to financing joint ventures in particular.

He was appointed Judge Advocate to the colony of New South Wales in 1809 and travelled with Governor Macquarie and the 73rd Regiment on board the Dromedary troop ship to the colony.\n\nOn board ship he kept a journal, wrote sketches of Porto Praya, Madeira and Rio de Janeiro, and was careful to copy all letters he sent to his family. He also wrote from the Cape of Good Hope and from New South Wales until 1811.\n\nEllis Bent has a merchant’s eye for detail and these documents give us a remarkable insight into the manners, customs and power play of the early nineteenth century including the customs of sea faring ships. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/judgeadvocateellisbent_paulajanebyrne.jpg 01 Desert Pea Press 20120430 Federation Press 21 02 39.95 AUD 01 36.31818181818182 AUD 1044 03 15 9781760022679 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 7b0489c5-fede-4994-a314-72a06df5e9f8 BB 1 A01 Anna Olijnyk 2 A01 Gabrielle Appleby 3 A01 James Stellios 4 A01 John Williams 272 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 The Australian High Court has implied from Chapter III of the Constitution significant protections for judicial independence and fair trial processes. In the last 25 years, these protections have been extended to the judiciaries of the Australian States with often-overlooked consequences for the operation of the Australian federation. Chapter III protections perform an important role in safeguarding individual liberties in a system largely bereft of constitutional rights protections. But they have also frustrated, or mandated substantial amendment to, a number of legislative initiatives.\n\nUnsurprisingly then, Chapter III is the site of significant constitutional disagreement. Australia’s second century has heralded heightened tension between governments and the courts over the proper scope of the limitations derived from Chapter III. These limits are some of the most dynamic in Australian constitutional law.\n\nTo inform and illuminate these ongoing debates, <em>Judicial Federalism in Australia: History, Theory, Doctrine and Practice</em> will provide a holistic analysis of the federal influence of Chapter III. It considers the historical underpinnings of the Chapter, tracing its development from the colonial justice system through the convention debates and into the first years of Federation. It then provides an overview of the theoretical and doctrinal development of Australia’s Chapter III jurisprudence as it relates to the States and Territories and how it has affected the operation of the federation. Finally, the book will provide, for the first time, an empirical study of the effect of the Court’s Chapter III jurisprudence on the development of State and Territory policies, focusing on anti-organised crime initiatives, the introduction of administrative super tribunals and specialist courts such as drug courts and Indigenous sentencing courts. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/FB_Appleby_Format_HB_Case-Block_cover_HR-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210722 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 145.45454545454544 AUD 887 03 15 9781760020651 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a523e6b5-6ef2-4b8b-9c20-e548d91bc37f BZ 1 B01 Jonathan Crowe 2 B01 Rebecca Ananian-Walsh 272 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 <p>Judicial independence is a fundamental aspect of law and governance in Australia, commanding near universal endorsement.

Although intermediate appellate courts at the Commonwealth and State levels have applied the House of Lords’ decision in Council for Civil Service Unions v Minister for the Civil Service to permit judicial review of non-statutory action in an appropriate case, it is unclear what cases are “appropriate” and how the traditional grounds of review and remedies might apply to action that is not authorised by legislation.\n\nDr Sapienza’s ground-breaking book attempts to bring clarity to this area of law by assessing the extent to which Australian judicial review principles are capable of application to an exercise of non-statutory executive power. It begins by categorising non-statutory executive power according to the manner in which an exercise of it is capable of having a legal effect. It then examines each element of judicial review – jurisdiction, justiciability, grounds of review, standing and remedies – to determine which aspects of each element are likely to pose an obstacle to a successful judicial review application in respect of each category of non-statutory action. In so doing, it lays a conceptual and doctrinal foundation from which legal practitioners and the courts can navigate this complex area of law on a case-by-case basis, as they are increasingly being called on to do.\n\nAs the first treatise to thoroughly explore this area, it is an invaluable resource for governments and those advising them. It will also be the starting point for lawyers seeking to challenge an exercise of non-statutory executive power as well as for the courts they call on to review the action. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sapienza-Judicial-Review-of-Non-Statutory_HR-1-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20201126 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 145.45454545454544 AUD 689 03 15 9781862877917 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 713cb76a-1f44-41ba-bf3e-27a221525953 BZ 1 B01 Helen Irving 2 B01 Jacqueline Mowbray 3 B01 Kevin Walton 272 10 LAW052000 12 2.1 LA 93 LA 01 05 <p><em>The issues which occupied Julius Stone are still of profound importance and interest to judges and practitioners, solicitors and law teachers.

Australia has always made claims to being a just and fair society so why, then, do certain groups of people continue to experience the worst forms of injustice in our society? Why is it that our criminal justice system is host to the most disadvantaged and disenfranchised in our community? And why do these injustices continue, despite numerous attempts by researchers and activists to address them?\n\nBy exploring the ways in which we think about justice, <em>Justice in Society</em> considers these questions. The authors examine how the contributions of political philosophy and sociology have come to dominate discussion on issues ranging from asylum seeking to transphobic discrimination. By considering the common assumptions about justice and injustice that underpin these discussions, the book seeks to engage, challenge, and offer new possibilities for achieving justice in society.\n\nFully updated and expanded, the second edition features two new chapters looking at the lives of transgender people and disabled people. It continues its coverage of contemporary social issues such as homelessness, mental illness, and Indigenous policing. Each issue is placed in its historical, social, and cultural context, and linked to local, national, and global debates. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/justiceinsociety_matthewballbelindacarpenter.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190215 Federation Press 21 02 69.95 AUD 01 63.590909090909086 AUD 1102 03 15 9781760025076 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 27c4328c-6a79-4240-a2ff-1e17c67a130a BZ 1 A01 J R S Forbes 6 482 10 LAW001000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDB 01 05 Justice in Tribunals deals with the law relating to quasi-judicial authorities of government, professions, sporting organisations, industrial, political and commercial associations and their supervision by the regular courts.

Despite initial progress in other areas, such as tax law, legal aid and social security, there has been deterioration. </p>\n<p>It also highlights some important aspects of poverty and law not contained in the original Report: the intersection of the experiences of LGBTI people, poverty and law; the international dimension of law and poverty in light of globalisation; and the critical importance of tax rules in relation to poverty. </p>\n<p>The book concludes by identifying critical areas for reform to address the legal problems that poor people confront. They include: cuts to legal aid and community legal centre funding; security of tenure for residential tenants; redistribution of the tax burden; regulation of the power of government agencies, such as social security and the police; and greater security in the sphere of employment law.</p>\n<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">In the media…</span></strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Justice Ronald Sackville, Vicki Sentas, Professor Brendan Edgeworth and Scarlet Wilcock on ABC Radio National, <em>Law Report with Damien Carrick</em>_16 May 2017<a href="http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/lawreport/law-and-poverty-sackville-report/8526818"> Listen to interview...</a></li>\n<li>Law and Poverty in Australia: 40 years after the Poverty Commission, <em>Inside UNSW Law</em>, Issue 3, 2017_19 May 2017 <a href="http://law.unsw.edu.au/news/2017/05/law-and-poverty-australia-40-years-after-poverty-commission/?fullpage">Read article...</a></li>\n</ul> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/lawandpovertyinaustralia_brendanedgeworth_andreadurbach.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20170321 Federation Press 21 02 89.95 AUD 01 81.772727272727266 AUD 1062 03 15 9781760023331 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 7ade6e96-3459-4866-8d96-f59fffe7843e BC 1 A01 Simon Bronitt 2 A01 Stephen Bottomley 5 456 10 LAW052000 12 2.1 LA 93 LA 01 05 This foundational student text provides readers with a contextual understanding of the law and the legal system, from the history and evolution of legal concepts to the institutional limitations of law and justice.

Trial fairness, the foundation stone on which the Australian criminal justice process rests, is rarely more challenged than when viewed through the lens of a trial of multiple accused. This book examines the joint trial of accused from various perspectives. The position of the prosecutor in relation to co-accused is discussed as is the respective positions of co-accused among each other. The trial judge’s position with relation to these issues is also considered. There are tactical and strategic considerations at play where co-accused are involved which impact overall trial fairness. When tried separately as a sole accused the issue of trial fairness is measured by the way that the prosecution frames its case and marshals its evidence with the trial judge determining the admissibility of evidence as a matter of law and adjudicating the issues of fairness arising between the accused and the prosecution as a matter of discretion. In joint trials, by contrast, trial fairness cannot override the need for a particular accused to make out their defence in a joint trial to exculpate themself and, as oftentimes happens, inculpate other accused. The focus of the book is how each of the Australian jurisdictions deal with these issues affecting co-accused both under common law and under statute. The book is intended for practitioners of criminal law, both prosecution and defence, as well as the judiciary. It is a practical and comprehensive account of the law of co-offending in Australia. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/FP22_HB_Cased_Lowe_LawofCo-offendingAust_240x153_cover-front_HR-scaled.jpg 01 Federation Press 20221118 Federation Press 21 02 150 AUD 01 136.37 AUD 993 03 15 9781760022136 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b64d9bf7-411e-49b7-861b-2ccdfd081690 BC 1 A01 Gabriël Moens 2 A01 Vivienne Bath 2 624 10 LAW014010 12 2.1 LBBM 93 LBBM 01 05 The revised and updated second edition of <em>Law of International Business in Australasia</em> has been written by Vivienne Bath and Gabriël Moens, with significant contributions from Luca Castellani.

The central tenet of this book is that such assertions are dangerous nonsense. Modern litigation is a sophisticated business, requiring a wide range of organisational, procedural, presentational and technical legal skills. Whether it be a plea of guilty before a magistrate or a multi-party commercial dispute involving billions of dollars and dozens of lawyers for each party, each stage in the preparation and presentation of a case requires skills that must be learned, then honed. While there are specialist texts on some aspects of advocacy, few set out to provide a guide for a junior practitioner seeking to acquire the necessary skills for a successful practice in litigation, whether within a law firm or at the independent Bar. This book sets out to address that gap, and to provide advice on navigating the shoals of a career in litigation. The book is the result of a collaboration between a relatively senior practitioner, Neil Williams SC, who has been at the independent Bar for more than 33 years, 21 of them as senior counsel, and a relatively junior barrister, Alison Hammond, who has been at the Sydney Bar for three years and before that worked in commercial litigation at King & Wood Mallesons in Sydney, and as Associate to Justice Virginia Bell at the High Court. This collaboration is designed to combine the lessons of recent experience in acquiring litigation technique with a longer view of advocacy training, one informed by the observation of many readers and other junior practitioners, and more extensive direct experience of litigation at all levels. This book will be useful to solicitors working in litigation; to those considering or preparing to sit a Bar exam; to those in their reading year at the Bar; to litigators in their first 10 years in practice, and to those who mentor junior litigators. As Chief Justice Kiefel writes in the Foreword, “The work is essential reading for young litigators and their mentors… I wish that I had been fortunate enough to have had access to a guide such as this when I commenced my career in litigation.” 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Learning_to_Ligate_keyline.jpg 01 Federation Press 20221007 Federation Press 21 02 89.95 AUD 01 81.78 AUD 984 03 15 9781760022044 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 6ec7f173-81a0-4b14-b315-96b01040d9dd BZ 1 A01 John Tarrant 176 10 LAW080000 12 2.1 LNS 93 LNV 01 05 This book provides a precise understanding of legal and equitable property. John Tarrant sets out a unifying theory of legal and equitable property rights and shows how property rights fit within private law.\n\nThe book:\n<ul>\n <li>examines the case law concerned with property rights to identify what concept of property has been adopted by the courts;</li>\n <li>outlines what things can be the legitimate subject of property rights by looking at the case law, and statute;</li>\n <li>demonstrates that our legal system has adopted a thinghood approach to property, and the courts and the legislature determine what things can be the object of property rights;</li>\n <li>explains the different characteristics of property rights, and how they correlate with duties of non-interference and obligations, and how some private law property rights also have a public law aspect.</li>\n</ul>\nTarrant shows how legal and equitable property rights fit within private law by demonstrating that private law only has two purposes: first, to protect personal integrity; and second, to protect private property (our things) through the availability of a range of private law remedies. In simple terms, private law provides remedies for people and for their tangible and intangible things in interactions with other legal persons. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/legalandequitablepropertyrights_johntarrant.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190412 Federation Press 21 02 130 AUD 01 118.18181818181817 AUD 796 03 15 9781862879386 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b6c67d1c-77da-4a41-b3a0-275e259e93d5 BC 1 A01 Nicholas Hasluck 240 10 LAW063000 12 2.1 LAS 93 LASH 01 05 <p><em>Legal Limits</em> explores the uneasy relationship between law and literature.</p>\n<p>A concern for the fate of the individual in society, an interest in the truth of any matter in contention, forms of narrative, matters of conscience – lawyers and writers share preoccupations of this kind but deal with them in different ways.

The book draws on the findings of the unique Life Chances Study, a longitudinal research project which has followed the lives of a group of young people for 21 years since their birth in inner Melbourne in 1990. The study has explored in detail the impacts of family income and disadvantage for children over time. The wealth of data from the interviews over the years is used to present the young people’s stories from infancy to age 21, both from the perspectives of their parents and, as they grow up, in their own words.</p>\n<p class="BodytextRPC">An introductory chapter introduces the stories and the context. This is followed by five detailed life stories and a concluding chapter which reflects on issues of social and economic support for families.

They illuminate such diverse aspects of life as the development of ethnic identity, language barriers, career planning, neighbourhood and choice of school.</p>\n<p class="BodytextRPC">Life Chances makes an important contribution to understanding inequality and disadvantage in our society.

Although images of idyllic, crime-free areas beyond the cityscape persist, there is scant academic consideration of the realities and variances of crime across regional, rural and remote Australia.\n\nContributors to <em>Locating Crime</em> explore the nexus between crime and space, examining the complexities that exist in policing, prosecuting and punishing crime in different zones. The various authors draw upon original knowledge and insight and utilise innovative research and an interdisciplinary approach to their work.\n\nThe broad theme of <em>Locating Crime</em> is centred on ‘context, place and space’, but several sub-themes emerge too. Contributors grapple with a number of issues: contextualisations of rurality; notions of ‘access to justice’; the importance of building ‘social capital’; the role of history; and of proactively addressing offending rates with crime prevention measures. This original research adds significantly to criminological understandings of crime in different spaces and offers novel insights of the impact upon victims and communities affected by crime in non-urban environments.\n\nTwelve scholarly chapters are grounded in criminological, legal and socio-legal frameworks and incorporate theoretical and practical knowledge from other fields such as history, sociology, cultural geography, media, cultural studies and Indigenous studies. The contributions from four professionals with expert knowledge of specific facets of criminal justice systems in Australia offer evaluations often absent from scholarly criminological literature. By melding both academic and practitioner discourse into the same work, this book allows a greater appreciation of the nexus between thought and practice. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/locatingcrimeincontextandplace_alistairharkness_bridgetharris.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20151217 Federation Press 21 02 69.99 AUD 01 63.627272727272718 AUD 785 03 15 9781862879157 01 ONIX_NOSEQ ec6679bf-bdbe-471e-bdda-4039a97f8c20 BB 1 B01 Kanaga Dharmananda 2 B01 Leon Firios 448 10 LAW021000 12 2.1 LNCJ 93 LNCJ 01 05 Australia’s prosperous energy and resources sector is founded on long term contracts. Long term contracts give rise to a variety of difficult conceptual and practical issues that must be confronted by commercial lawyers and energy and resource professionals on a daily basis, ranging from negotiation and documentation through to interpretation and breach.\n\nQuestions as to the operation, nature, and effect of long term contracts will continue to assume central importance to Australia as a whole in circumstances where the Asian economies, particularly China, Japan, and India, are anxious for security of supply in relation to commodities.This book confronts some of the major issues under long term contracts from both legal and practical perspectives. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Dharmananda-Cover_Long-Term-Contracts-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20130815 Federation Press 21 02 225 AUD 01 204.54545454545453 AUD 739 03 15 9781862878488 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 8aa60f03-97fb-4c97-8ce2-98d051112bf8 BZ 1 A01 Alan Jessup 492 10 LAW009000 12 2.1 LNCD 93 LNC 01 05 <p>According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, as at 30 June 2011 the managed funds industry had approximately $1,824 billion of funds under management. Therefore the managed investment scheme is very important to the Australian economy.</p>\n<p>Despite this importance, the law concerning the managed investment schemes has historically formed only a small part of the Corporations legislation although the case law interpretation and regulatory involvement has increased exponentially since 2009 following the global financial crisis.</p>\n<p><em>Managed Investment Schemes</em> examines the current status of the managed investment scheme taking into account the history and evolution of the scheme and the current law and regulation as well as examining possible future reforms. However this is done not only from a jurisprudential but also from a practical point of view and will therefore be helpful not only to the legal profession and law students but also to industry participants. The author brings together in the book his many years of experience in the industry and provides a handy guide to all participants in the industry.</p>\n<p>Importantly, because tax is the primary driver of the managed investment scheme, the book also contains a detailed examination of the tax issues involved with the different types of schemes. Following the global financial crisis, there has been increased rationalisation of the industry involving merger and acquisition activity. The book therefore also considers the legal and regulatory issues involved in trust acquisitions as well as the tax and stamp duty consequences of the same.</p>\n<p>Anyone who is involved in the managed funds industry will find this book an important addition to their library including advisers and participants.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/managedinvestmentschemes_alanjessup.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20111214 Federation Press 21 02 145 AUD 01 131.81818181818181 AUD 685 03 15 9781862877818 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 24587d6b-4acd-48ce-b74c-3b0d3d21e693 BC 1 A01 Lisa Jane Young 2 A01 Neil Quarmby 318 10 LAW022000 12 2.1 LNC 93 LNCD 01 05 Everywhere there are mountains of information. Intelligence Managers and practitioners transform these mountains into intelligence and convey it to decision-makers. Intelligence is crucial. It maximises opportunity and minimises risk.\n\nIntelligence practitioners must apply critical thinking and transparent analysis to increase understanding and reduce uncertainty. They must learn how to influence decision-makers.\n\n<em>Managing Intelligence: The Art of Influence</em>, solidly grounded in theory, provides practical guidance for managers and practitioners to develop and implement intelligence programs. It shows how to integrate these programs into an organisation in a coherent and functional way.\n\nThe book also outlines management issues that are specific to the intelligence profession. Key themes include the capability, models, people and processes required to support those in the business of making tactical, operational and strategic decisions and the transformation of intelligence into value.\n\nIntelligence experts Neil Quarmby and Lisa Jane Young cogently expand the concept of using intelligence to support organisational decision-making by creating a series of programs to detect, analyse and report on threats and risks in the broader environment.\n\n<em>Managing Intelligence: The Art of Influence</em> is written for Intelligence Managers and practitioners operating in law enforcement, national security, the regulatory sector and throughout the private sector. The book acts as a companion piece to <em><a href="../bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781760021924"> Intelligence in Regulation </a></em> (Quarmby, 2018) which is designed to fill the void in international literature on regulation. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/managingintelligence_neilquarmby_lisajaneyoung.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20101213 Federation Press 21 02 85 AUD 01 77.272727272727266 AUD 763 03 15 9781862878884 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0c619158-168f-40c2-84cf-d463eda8cf07 BC 1 A01 Darren Sinclair 2 A01 Neil Gunningham 272 10 LAW069000 12 2.1 LNCR 93 LAB 01 05 <p>Over the last 15 years the coal mining industry has achieved impressive gains in its work health and safety (WHS) performance. These are widely attributed to the development of a new WHS architecture based on structured risk management concepts and WHS management systems.</p>\n<p>Regulators too have sought to harness this approach in the development of a new form of “management based regulation” which holds out the promise of “regulating at a distance” in a manner that is resource efficient while at the same time promising better WHS outcomes than more prescriptive alternatives.</p>\n<p>However, the coal mining industry has been unable to sustain its impressive injury/fatality reduction trajectory and individual companies have been unable to apply their WHS architecture successfully across the entirety of their operations. These findings raise important questions for WHS.</p>\n<p>Based on over 150 interviews mining industry stakeholders and on in depth access to multiple mine sites within individual companies, the authors conclude that corporate systems and other tools of management-based regulation only work well when WHS is institutionalised, and when it gets into the “bloodstream” of the organisation at site level. Only when the formal systems (audits, reporting, monitoring) are supported by informal systems (trust, commitment, engagement) will they be fully effective.</p>\n<p>These findings and policy prescriptions are relevant not just to mining and WHS but to the multiple areas of social regulation where a systems-based approach has become an article of faith for companies and regulators alike.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/managingmininghazards_neilgunningham_darrensinclair.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20120723 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 582 03 15 9781862876507 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 8106adb2-f231-437e-9305-cfb82866b2a5 BB 1 A01 A J Brown 528 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 <p><span><strong><em>Front cover image</em></strong>: Michael Kirby speaking c.1988 (Adelaide Advertiser).</span></p>\n<p><strong>2012 Prime Minister's Literary Award</strong> - short-listed in the non-fiction category of this prestigious Award.</p>\n<p><strong>2012 National Biography Award</strong> - one of the six titles shortlisted for Australia's pre-eminent prize for biographical writing and memoir.</p>\n<p><strong>2011 Walkley Book Award Finalist</strong></p>\n<p>Watch our author AJ Brown in conversation with Michael Kirby at this Australian National University event from May 2011:</p>\n<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/j2Xr99TWzhU" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>\n<hr />\n<p>The remarkable story of the life and work of Australia’s most famous modern judge.</p>\n<p>This biography charts Michael Kirby’s extraordinary public life from his first forays as a student politician in the early 1960s, to his appointments as foundation chairman of the Australian Law Reform Commission in 1975, President of the NSW Court of Appeal in 1984, and Justice of the High Court of Australia (1996-2009).</p>\n<p>Internationally, Kirby has been a leader in law reform and human rights with the OECD, UNESCO, UN Human Rights Commission and the WHO Global Program on AIDS.

It also faces OHS challenges far exceeding those confronting most other industry sectors.\n\nMine safety legislation can play an important role in meeting those challenges. Although regulation is never likely to be the entire answer, good regulation not only brings laggards up to a minimum legal standard, it also encourages, rewards and facilitates leaders in going beyond them. Bad regulation, in contrast, constrains good enterprises from taking the initiative to improve OHS, while failing to deter bad ones.\n\nThis book describes mine safety legislation in the “mining states” and analyses its strengths and weaknesses. It also examines the broader policy questions of how best to design, implement and enforce mine safety regulation.\n\nIt argues that substantial reform will be necessary not only in setting standards, but also in their implementation, if further OHS improvements are to be achieved. This implies substantial changes in the way the mine safety inspectorates go about their tasks: in how they administer and enforce the law; and in the circumstances in which they choose to prosecute. It also requires the nurturing of a degree of trust between employers and workers (individually and collectively) and between both these parties and the mines inspectorates, that has been substantially lacking in recent years. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/minesafety_neilgunningham.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20070814 Federation Press 21 02 75 AUD 01 68.181818181818173 AUD 740 03 15 9781862878495 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f15ac8b9-3a09-4704-a72b-2a504f48dd6f BC 1 A01 John Southalan 334 10 LAW070000 12 2.1 LNCR 93 LNCR 01 05 <p><em>Mining Law and Policy: International Perspectives </em>explains the key legal issues in the regulation of mining.

This book traces the rise in the power and significance of Australian ministerial advisers. It shows the fundamental shift of the locus of power from the neutral public service to highly political and partisan ministerial advisers.\n\nThe book demonstrates that the introduction of ministerial advisers into the structure of the Executive has led to the erosion of the Australian system of responsible government. This is caused by a failure in the political, legal and managerial accountability frameworks surrounding ministerial advisers.\n\n<em>Ministerial Advisers in Australia</em> is the first comprehensive study of the legal and political regulation of Australian ministerial advisers.

It is an unprecedented insight into a legend of the Australian legal system.</p>\n<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">In the media…</span></strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>The life of 'Smiler' Murray Gleeson, Michael Sexton, SMH_ 4 July 2014<a href="../pdf/The%20life%20of%20%27Smiler%27%20Murray%20Gleeson_SMH,%204%20July%202014.pdf"> Read article...</a></li>\n<li>The essence of good judgment, Janet Albrechtsen, The Australian_18 June 2014<a href="../pdf/The%20essence%20of%20good%20judgment_The%20Australian,%2018%20June%202014.pdf"> Read article...</a></li>\n<li>Michael Pelly on 891 ABC Adelaide with Ian Henschke_16 June 2014<a href="../pdf/891_Mornings_16June_The-Smiler.mp3"> Listen to interview...</a></li>\n<li>Smiles and stares, Richard Ackland, The Saturday Paper_14 June 2014<a href="../pdf/Smiles%20and%20stares_The%20Saturday%20Paper,%2014-16%20June%202014.pdf"> Read article...</a></li>\n<li>Inside the Heffernan disaster, The Australian_6 June 2014<a href="../pdf/Inside%20the%20Heffernan%20disaster_The%20Australian,%206%20June%202014.pdf"> Read extract...</a></li>\n<li>Michael Pelly on 702 Drive with Richard Glover_2 June 2014 <a href="../pdf/702_Drive_2June_Pelly.mp3"> Listen to interview...</a></li>\n<li>Hughes appointment set an alarming precedent, Chris Merritt, The Australian_30 May 2014<a href="../pdf/Hughes%20appointment%20set%20an%20alarming%20precedent_The%20Australian,%2030%20May%202014.pdf"> Read article...</a></li>\n<li>The day Gaudron put Chief Justice in his place, The Australian_30 May 2014<a href="../pdf/The%20day%20Gaudron%20put%20Chief%20Justice%20in%20his%20place_The%20Australian,%2030%20May%202014.pdf"> Read extract...</a></li>\n<li>Book on Murray Gleeson sheds light on Fine Cotton comedy, Max Presnell, SMH_29 May 2014 <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/sport/horseracing/book-on-murray-gleeson-sheds-light-on-fine-cotton-comedy-20140530-zrscf.html"> Read article...</a></li>\n<li>Chris Merritt, Legal Editor for The Australian talks to author Michael Pelly <a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/video/id-1lOHZ5bTqub9x7DcDAMaVtmp1by4FPXT/Chris-Merritt-talks-to-Michael-Pelly-about-his-new-book">Watch online...</a></li>\n<li>Gleeson subjected to formal interview, Chris Merritt, The Australian_23 May 2014 <a href="../pdf/Gleeson%20subjected%20to%20formal%20interview_%20The%20Australian,%2023%20May%202014.pdf">Read article...</a></li>\n<li>Gleeson appointment a ‘no brainer’, The Australian_23 May 2014 <a href="../pdf/Gleeson%20appointment%20a%20%E2%80%98no%20brainer%E2%80%99_%20The%20Australian,%2023%20May%202014.pdf">Read extract...</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">From the Launch...</span></strong></p>\n<p style="text-align: left;">"Pelly recites many tales which are familiar to the legal profession.

They give rise to legally binding obligations on the part of the testators: a breach of these obligations is considered an equitable fraud and may be relied upon by a testator, or the intended beneficiaries under the mutual will, when seeking relief.\n\nPractitioners need to take particular care when setting up mutual wills or advising on them. It is a subject deep in misconceptions, in particular on the prerequisites for establishing mutual wills. Cassidy's text seeks to dispel the many myths. To this end, each prerequisite to establishing a mutual will is considered in turn and the relevant law examined. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Cassidy-Mutual-Wills.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20000905 Federation Press 21 02 66 AUD 01 59.999999999999993 AUD 1106 03 15 9781760025205 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 82cde83b-9fd3-4469-9dba-343c91a81bdc BC 1 B01 Danielle Ireland-Piper 464 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 This new book, the first of its kind, is a curation of wide-ranging expertise on national security law in Australia at a time in history where polycrises are testing the very foundations of the state. National security goes to the heart of a state’s existence, citizens, and values. So it is that national security law is inherently interdisciplinary and those who make and administer national security law must navigate a complex array of competing interests and structures. To that end, this edited volume takes an interdisciplinary approach and includes chapters on national security in the context of judicial power, executive power, federalism, human rights, gender, citizenship, counter-terrorism, foreign interference, cyberspace, biosecurity, policing, law of the sea, space law, and international humanitarian law. Both scholars and practitioners are represented among the contributing authors. The chapters are written so as to be accessible to policymakers and those without legal training, as well as providing a useful resource to lawyers and law students. Each of them provides a pragmatic overview of the relevant frameworks, while highlighting key law and policy challenges. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Ireland-Piper-National-Security-Law-in-Australia-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20241009 Federation Press 21 02 170 AUD 01 154.55 AUD 848 03 15 9781862879980 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a3c638c4-348a-4160-aabc-0c486c8f28c9 BC 1 B01 Brendan Edgeworth 2 B01 Leon Terrill 3 B01 Megan Davis 4 B01 Sean Brennan 292 10 LAW110000 12 2.1 JPVH3 93 LA 01 05 <p><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Cover image taken at Mangkuna (Corkbark) on Karajarri country in the Kimberley, Western Australia - November 2014. </span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Photography by Edward Tran. </span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© Copyright Kimberley Land Council.</span></p>\n<p>This edited collection brings together some of Australia’s foremost experts in native title to provide a realistic assessment of the achievements, frustrations and possibilities of native title, two decades since the enactment of the <em>Native Title Act 1993</em> (Cth), and after the most significant High Court decision on native title in more than ten years, <em>Akiba v Commonwealth</em>, which confirmed the existence of commercial native title fishing rights. The Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors come from a variety of disciplines and perspectives and include academics and practitioners from the fields of law, economics, anthropology, politics, history and community development. Uniting the book is a concern that native title make a real impact on the economic and social circumstances of Australia’s Indigenous communities.</p>\n<p>The book consists of two parts.</p>\n<p><strong>Part One</strong> is entitled <strong>Legal Dynamics in the Development of Native Title</strong>. It examines the way in which Australian law has defined and often constrained the scope of this newly-recognised property right. There is a particular focus on legal issues with a direct bearing on the economic potential of native title, such as alienability and the right to trade resources and the challenges posed for anti-discrimination law.</p>\n<p><strong>Part Two</strong> is entitled <strong>Native Title as a Vehicle for Indigenous Empowerment</strong>. Authors provide an overview of the contribution made so far by native title and the prospects for future empowerment. Detailed mapping and analysis provides readers with a geographic orientation and a sense of realism about the economic potential of the native title estate, in comparison with achievements under a parallel statutory land rights regime. This part also explains some of the challenges Indigenous groups face in areas such as governance, land reform and internal politicking, as they operate in the shadow of the law, seeking to utilise native title for greater empowerment.</p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href="http://www.gtcentre.unsw.edu.au/events/native-title-and-indigenous-empowerment"> Click here</a> to view and listen to the <strong>Indigenous Empowerment panel discussion</strong> which includes video and audio webcasts, photos and a review essay.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/nativetitlefrommabotoakibaavehicleforchange_seanbrennan_megandavis.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20150528 Federation Press 21 02 84.95 AUD 01 77.22727272727272 AUD 1487 03 15 9781876861124 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 035f85df-669c-458b-a22a-24d66b255921 BC 1 A01 John Pullen 240 10 HIS004000 12 2.1 LNCR 93 NHM 01 05 <p>In 1890, the famous American economist and social reformer, Henry George, arrived in Australia to begin a controversial 98-day public lecture tour. Following the international publicity generated by his book <em>Progress and Poverty</em>, with its challenges to conventional economics, he had made several lecture tours in Britain, attracting immense audiences. In Australia he visited 34 cities and towns and continued to promulgate vigorously and eloquently his radical program for the ownership, management and taxation of natural resources such as land, coal, and minerals.</p>\n<p><em>Nature’s Gifts</em> provides, for the first time, a detailed account of this important and progressive lecture series. Equal rights to land; land taxation; land prices; land rents; land nationalisation; and free trade and protection remain issues which are highly relevant today.</p>\n<p>Engaging and insightful, this is a timely and critical study of the reforms proposed by Henry George and the possibility of establishing an efficient and equitable system for the ownership of natural resources.</p>\n 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/naturesgifts_johnpullen.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20141209 Federation Press 21 02 34.95 AUD 01 31.772727272727273 AUD 1024 03 15 9781760022372 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 8a80582a-d0e3-44dc-8701-3624d336fa2b BB 1 B01 David Blunt 2 B01 Stephen Frappell 2 1024 10 POL055000 12 2.1 JP 93 JP 01 05 The second edition of New South Wales Legislative Council Practice has been comprehensively updated. It charts the history, procedures and practices of the New South Wales Legislative Council – the Upper House of the Parliament of New South Wales and the oldest legislative body in Australia.\n\nThe Legislative Council has continued to be one of the most dynamic and at times assertive Upper Houses in Australia. Of note, the House has continued to explore in new and varied ways its power to order the production of State papers; it has continued to expand the remit and activity of its active committee system, and it has further enhanced its procedures for scrutinising legislation. Following the March 2019 State election, the Legislative Council also adopted significant new procedures on sitting days for holding the government to account. All of these developments are explored in the second edition.\n\nThe new edition also incorporates significant revisions to the text in relation to various topics such as parliamentary privilege in New South Wales, the powers of the Legislative Council in relation to money bills, and relations between the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly, the Lower House of the Parliament of New South Wales.\n\nThe second edition of New South Wales Legislative Council Practice is an essential reference book for parliamentary practitioners and those interested in the study of parliament and politics in New South Wales. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/legislativecouncilpractice_blunt-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210308 Federation Press 21 02 225 AUD 01 204.54545454545453 AUD 866 03 15 9781760020408 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a3021e9e-1588-480c-81b4-6957c9c1ce46 BC 1 A01 Narelle Hooper 2 A01 Rodin Genoff 3 A01 Susan Pettifer 320 10 BUS085000 12 2.1 KJ 93 KJU 01 05 <p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Narelle_Hooper_New_Women_New_Men_New_Economy?id=XsAcDAAAQBAJ&hl=en&utm_source=global_co&utm_medium=prtnr&utm_content=Mar2515&utm_campaign=PartBadge&pcampaignid=MKT-Other-global-all-co-prtnr-py-PartBadge-Mar2515-1"><img src="https://play.google.com/intl/en_us/badges/images/generic/en_badge_web_generic.png" alt="Get it on Google Play" width="10%" height="40%" /></a></p>\n<p>At a time when demagogues are on the rise and the United States is threatening to build walls, <em>New Women New Men New Economy</em> is a reminder that building bridges and connections is what will keep us strong. </p>\n<p>This agenda-setting book, reprinted in 2016, outlines the increasingly powerful commercial imperative driving organisations to become creative, open, diverse and fair. </p>\n<p>The marketplace is choosing for us.

If there is any change of focus, this work looks at the people of the law through the prism of established or changing legal doctrines and processes.\n\nThe chapter headings will show that quirky humanity intrudes into the most doctrinaire of fields (such as statutory interpretation and tort law) and that law intrudes into every facet of human life (including food, drink and sex). As in the former work, there is much comparing of attitudes past and present, while observing the underlying constancy of human values and biases within every corner of the law.\n\nReaders will discover:\n<ul>\n <li>the constitutional distinction between financial and moral bankruptcy</li>\n <li>the New South Wales judge who responded to a submission on behalf of the Queensland Commissioner for Railways by stating “You don’t think we are going to let you banana-benders get away with that, do you?”</li>\n <li>Chief Justices who entered dodgy marriages, committed contempts of court or were described as “sexy” by litigants they encountered</li>\n <li>judges who upheld appeals from their own judgments</li>\n <li>strange aspects of matrimonial law and lore, including “wife sales” and forced outcomes of the biblical “one flesh” concept</li>\n <li>some (rare) sightings of appellate judges abusing each other</li>\n <li>several instances of cannibalism and the law.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr />\n\n<strong><span style="font-size: small;">From the Launch...</span></strong>\n\n"A glance at the index of names shows that many of these anecdotes relate to judges and lawyers who are still in the world and many still engaged in their careers. ... Those who know Keith well do not need my persuasion, and I suggest that every lawyer in mid-career or seriously preparing for a career should read, needs to read Keith Mason’s books, both of them, and keep them on a shelf somewhere handy next to Owen Dixon’s <em>Jesting Pilate</em>. They are full of lessons gentle and sharp about how to behave, the wisdom of not giving in during moments of rage or disdain, and the perils of dropping one’s guard. Weaknesses and eccentricities and lapses of courtesy may be talked about for the rest of one’s life, and for long afterwards, in some cases for centuries. Keith teaches many lessons in what to do, and what to avoid doing, showing why.\nWith more than pleasure, with great enthusiasm I commend Keith Mason’s book to its first readership of lawyers, and to a further and wider readership of people who would like to understand what lawyers are, what they do and how human their institutions are."\n<p align="right"><em>From the Launch Speech by The Hon John P.

With its rigorous, yet accessible, approach to this complex area of law <em>Ong on Contribution</em> is a perfect supplement to his earlier acclaimed works: <em>Trusts Law in Australia</em> (now in its 4th edition), <em>Ong on Equity</em>, <em>Ong on Specific Performance</em>, <em>Ong on Subrogation</em> and <em>Ong on Rescission</em>.\n\nThe text offers a thorough study of the doctrine of contribution at common law and in Equity (though it does not deal with contribution between tortfeasors). Topics addressed include: an exploration of the fact that co-ordinate liabilities are essential to the right of contribution; the right of contribution between co-sureties; the right of contribution between co-insurers; and the right to contribution in relation to bills of exchange.\n\nAs in his earlier works, the book offers a succinct exposition of all the key relevant principles of law, facilitated by a careful analysis of all the leading authorities. To assist the reader, the essential passages of judgments under consideration are reproduced. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ongoncontribution_denisskong.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20161103 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.63636363636363 AUD 734 03 15 9781862878433 01 ONIX_NOSEQ d89a0609-ceef-4f6c-890a-25b103644152 BZ 1 A01 Denis SK Ong 592 10 LAW080000 12 2.1 LNL 93 LNV 01 05 <p><em>Ong on Equity</em> is a substantial and sophisticated work from Professor Denis Ong, author of the acclaimed commentary: <em>Trusts Law in Australia</em>, now in its third edition. <em>Ong on Equity</em> analyses in detail relevant cases from all the Australian and from international jurisdictions and thoroughly reviews all aspects of judicial decision making.</p>\n<p>Importantly, Professor Ong considers unanswered questions as they arise in judicial reasoning in an incisive and learned style and offers fresh insights and thoughtful scholarly analysis in respect of each of the topics comprehensively covered in this volume.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ongonequity_denisskong.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20111021 Federation Press 21 02 145 AUD 01 131.81818181818181 AUD 1031 03 15 9781760025687 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 74aacb31-6046-4ed6-ad7b-3b0a329a2444 BC 1 A01 Denis SK Ong 320 10 LAW080000 12 2.1 LNL 93 LNV 01 05 <em>Ong on Estoppel</em>, by the prolific Professor Denis SK Ong, is one of the very few\nscholarly book-length treatments of the doctrine of estoppel published in Australia.\n\nTopics addressed with Ong’s characteristic meticulous examination of both Australian and English authorities include: estoppel’s origins as a rule of evidence; estoppel by conduct (including representation); estoppel by deed and estoppel by convention; promissory and proprietary estoppel; estoppel and election; estoppel between banker and customer; and estoppel by representation is contrasted with the defence of the change of position. Readers are advised that the book does not deal with issue estoppel.\n\nOf particular interest to readers will be the author’s carefully argued view that in Australia at least (and notwithstanding several judgements of the NSW Court of Appeal) proprietary estoppel is merely a sub-species of promissory estoppel and that there is in reality a single overarching doctrine of estoppel. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Ong_Estoppel_PB.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20201204 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.64 AUD 930 03 15 9781760021504 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 92b4e037-ede0-4528-83aa-2e3bf75e4fd0 BZ 1 A01 Denis SK Ong 192 10 LAW021000 12 2.1 LNCJ 93 LNCJ 01 05 In <em>Ong on Rectification</em>, Professor Denis SK Ong brings his customary penetrating analysis of the authorities to the equitable remedy of rectification.\n\nTopics discussed include: the nature of rectification; a detailed exploration of the principles of contractual construction; the difference between construction and rectification; rectification of both common and unilateral mistakes; and rectification of wills.\n\nProfessor Ong very carefully sets out both the Australian and English authorities, highlighting the differences between them as well as remaining “grey” or unresolved areas. His analysis of the High Court decisions on construction, following the House of Lords decision in <em>Chartbrook Ltd</em>, is particularly illuminating in this regard. He quotes extensively, though judiciously, from the cases and is unafraid to point out problems he perceives in the reasoning contained therein.

More recently, Ong, (1) frankly designates the High Court’s decision ‘inaccurate’. He concludes that due to its ‘disappointing’ and fundamentally mistaken omission to acknowledge and apply the established distinction between exoneration and recoupment, the plurality made inaccurately wide statements, which unduly restricted the respective entitlements of both trust and non-trust creditors. Ong acknowledges, that, at one point at least, the plurality seem to suggest that the trustee’s charge securing the right of indemnity enures for the benefit of all its creditors. Ong considers that to be contrary to the fundamental, purpose-restricted nature of that right. Ong states that on the basis of the established principles articulated in <em>In re Richardson</em>, the High Court should have clearly endorsed the trust creditors’ unique access to the right of indemnity in its exoneration aspect.</span></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">(1) Denis Ong, <em>Ong on Subrogation</em> (Federation Press, 2014) 33–8.</span></p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ongonsubrogation_denisskong.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20141024 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.63636363636363 AUD 995 03 15 9781760022150 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 96410b9c-0f7c-4e43-ad2d-5c226c5b16a2 BZ 1 A01 Denis SK Ong 224 10 LAW080000 12 2.1 LNL 93 LNV 01 05 <em>Ong on Tracing</em>, by Professor Denis SK Ong, is the first scholarly monograph published in Australia to analyse and explain the complex principles relating to the tracing of ownership of property at common law and in equity.\n\nTopics addressed with Ong’s characteristic clear and forthright consideration of both Australian and English authorities include: the differences between tracing at common law and in equity; whether there is any distinction between tracing and “following”; whether “backward tracing” is conceptually sound; situations where tracing is impossible; tracing the ownership of property into bank accounts and other assets; the relationship between tracing and constructive trusts; the application of statutes of limitation to tracing claims.\n\nThis is Professor Ong’s eighth major treatise in private law and complements his earlier works which now include: <em>Trusts Law in Australia</em> (now in its 5th edition); <em>Ong on Equity</em>; <em>Ong on Specific Performance</em>; <em>Ong on Subrogation</em>; <em>Ong on Rescission</em>; <em>Ong on Contribution</em>; and <em>Ong on Rectification</em>. <em>Ong on Tracing</em> will be a valuable resource for commercial lawyers, barristers, academics and the judiciary. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ongontracing.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20191129 Federation Press 21 02 135 AUD 01 122.72727272727272 AUD 1049 03 15 9781760022969 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 54f44172-dd10-478a-b40d-b9701cb6d778 BC 1 B01 Belinda Bennett 2 B01 Ian Freckelton 448 10 LAW046000 12 2.1 LNTJ 93 LNTJ 01 05 <em>Pandemics, Public Health Emergencies and Government Powers: Perspectives on Australian Law </em>explores the multi-layered and multi-faceted ways in which Australia’s laws, regulations and law-makers have engaged with the COVID-19 pandemic. What emerges from the 21 chapters from leading scholars in this edited collection is that there have been both successes and failures. The virus keeps evolving and we as a nation need to continue to learn from international developments and what has, and has not, worked in Australia. Law is an integral part of the public health framework that protects the community during a pandemic. A significant component of Australia’s legal response to COVID-19 has been to give extensive powers to State and Territory governments to manage the crisis. This has involved imposition of limits on individuals’ rights and liberties in relation to quarantine arrangements, border control, lockdowns, curfews and face masks, as well as requirements to use QR codes. At times these measures have been controversial, both legally and within the general community. Our workplaces, our clinical services, our research processes and our legal system will emerge changed after COVID-19 . This requires ongoing evaluation and reflection. <em>Pandemics, Public Health Emergencies and Government Powers: Perspectives on Australian Law </em>is a constructive early contribution to this end. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pandemics_freckelton.png 01 The Federation Press 20210831 Federation Press 21 02 150 AUD 01 136.36363636363635 AUD 1105 03 15 9781760025199 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 377b0721-ab38-48f8-94ca-27252508c004 BB 1 B01 David Blunt 2 B01 David Clune 752 10 POL055000 12 2.1 JP 93 JP 01 05 In 2024, the Legislative Council of NSW celebrated its Bicentenary.

Parliamentary Democracy at Work is the result. Specific themes covered include: the history of the Upper House, the Council’s quest for governmental transparency, parliamentary privilege, the wide-ranging work of Council committees, the use of orders for the production of state papers, and procedural, ethical and leadership issues.

Patent claims emerged in UK patent drafting custom from the mid-19th to the early 20th centuries, and obtained their Anglo-Australian legal status as the definers of patent scope in the 1930s. Today, patent claims are the fulcrum of modern patent law in Australia and other patent territories. This book explains the role that patent claims play; the basis upon which claims are construed; the principal grounds which must be satisfied for claims to be valid; and the main bases upon which infringement liability may arise. It has an intense focus on the body of principles that have evolved over several decades under the Patents Act 1990 (Cth), and in which Australian patent law can be seen to be both highly distinguishable from, and purposefully harmonised with, modern UK law. A key feature of the book is its cohesive treatment, in which cross-cutting influences are referenced to permit the reader to understand connections and trade-offs. This book, the first of its kind in Australia, is a must-have resource for lawyers, patent attorneys, judges, students and those in patent-dependent industries or who administer the Australian patent system. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Brennan-Patent-Claims-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250826 Federation Press 21 02 250 AUD 01 227.28 AUD 767 03 15 9781862878938 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 2dc5a5bd-f7f4-4cdd-804f-b5f40f7a81c3 BC 1 B01 Jon Altman 2 B01 Seán Kerins 272 10 SOC062000 12 2.1 JFSL9 93 JBSL11 01 05 <p>Over the past four decades Aboriginal people living in remote and regional Australia have been empowered by land rights and native title laws to claim back large tracts of their ancestral lands. Today the Indigenous estate covers over 20 per cent of the continent and includes areas of globally significant biodiversity and cultural value, many now declared as Indigenous Protected Areas in the National Reserve System. But none of the Indigenous estate is in its pre-colonial condition and it faces a myriad of environmental threats.</p>\n<p><em>People on Country, Vital Landscapes, Indigenous Futures</em> draws on a diversity of perspectives to document a significant social and environmental movement that is quietly gathering momentum across this vast Indigenous estate. This series of essays, drawn from an unusual collaboration between university researchers and Indigenous land owners, tells a little-known story about Aboriginal people who are living on, working on and caring for the lands and seas that they own and manage. The ongoing struggles by Indigenous people to conserve and rehabilitate the outstanding natural and cultural values of their ancestral lands deserve wide recognition and acclaim.</p>\n<p>This book seeks to reposition Indigenous people and their caring for country activities from the margins to the very core of the growing national conversation on issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion. It challenges the Australian public, policy community and politicians to re-imagine the role that the Caring for Country movement, deploying a mix of western scientific and Indigenous ecological knowledge systems and techniques, must play in the proper environmental management of Australia in the 21st century.</p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>** A short video of Garawa and Waanyi fire management in the Gulf country was released November 2013 as part of the work done by Dr Kerins with the National Environmental Research Program.

He was not referring to the consequences of bankruptcy or insolvency under Australian law. Nevertheless, it is true that there are no winners in bankruptcy. Bankrupt debtors lose most of their property, and they are required to contribute a substantial portion of their income towards the payment of their debts. There are restrictions on their right to travel and access credit. They also suffer a loss of status and reputation because of the public humiliation of bankruptcy. This book is not a treatise on bankruptcy law. Rather, it addresses the fundamental questions of how personal insolvency procedures can provide a better return for creditors in a tax effective manner, and how insolvent debtors can preserve most of their significant assets to enable them to make a fresh start without crippling debts. In a credit economy worth in excess of $3.5 trillion and a deep financial crisis caused by numerous factors, these are the pertinent questions: How can debtors use legitimate strategies to protect their assets from creditors? How should consumer debtors deal with unmanageable debts, aggressive debt collectors, and predatory debt management service providers? How can guarantors of consumer and business debts minimise their liabilities? How can debtors use debt agreements to extinguish their debts and protect their family assets whilst providing creditors with a reasonable dividend and useful tax deductions? How can insolvent businesses use the advantage of their exemption from the commercial forgiveness regime to attract white knight investors to assist their recovery? How can debtors protect their family home and superannuation benefits? How can bankrupts retain sufficient income to maintain a reasonable standard of living? How can spouses take advantage of the right of exoneration to protect their equity in the family home? 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Front-coverODonovan.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20240821 Federation Press 21 02 145 AUD 01 131.82 AUD 836 03 15 9781862879850 01 ONIX_NOSEQ e34e15f8-8cce-41b5-9c44-cfcef14526ad BC 1 B01 Brian Dollery 2 B01 Ian Tilley 208 10 POL055000 12 2.1 JP 93 JP 01 05 Over the past three decades, all Australian State and Territory local government systems have experienced episodes of reform of varying degrees of intensity, often involving controversial programs of forced amalgamation. Perspectives on Australian Local Government Reform draws upon the insights and expertise of an extraordinary group of contributors, drawn from practitioners with extensive and exceptional ‘hands-on’ experience in local government, as well as scholars of Australian local government. The book seeks to blend the wisdom derived from long years as practitioners of local government with the insights flowing from scholarship.\n\nThis book comprises three main parts. The first part provides reflections on the aims of Australian local government reform. The second considers the process of the reforms, while the final part of the book contemplates the future of Australian local government.\n\nThere are twelve chapters each written by separate contributors who have distinguished themselves as policy makers, practitioners or scholars of local government in Australia. The methodological approach employed harnesses the perspectives of experts from all seven Australian local government jurisdictions in an effort to provide a holistic appreciation of the nature of local government reform in the Australian federation.\n\nPerspectives on Australian Local Government Reform will be of special interest to those engaged in local government and those with an interest in the ‘grassroots’ sector, given the continuing discussion in Australian jurisdictions about the need for ongoing local government reform. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/9781862879850-600x928-1.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20151013 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 1098 03 15 9781760024963 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 68e7739b-6629-4176-b74b-899a4512277d BC 1 A01 Michele M Asprey 5 352 10 LAW063000 12 2.1 LAS 93 LASH 01 05 Michèle Asprey’s Plain Language for Lawyers has established itself over the past 33 years and four editions as a comprehensive, authoritative, practical, entertaining and enormously useful book. It: Explores the reasons why lawyers should be writing in plain language, including the legislation that requires it, the cases that call for it, the poor image of lawyers, and explains what clients (and judges) really want in legal writing. Discusses plain language as the international standard for good legal writing and surveys recent developments in plain language worldwide. Explains the main elements of plain language step-by-step, with supporting legal analysis and case law. Examines the principles of legal interpretation in the light of recent case law. Updates its plain language vocabulary Covers writing for email, social media, websites and the internet, including the latest on defamation law and the implications of emerging artificial intelligence technology. Surveys document design for both print and the computer screen, including updated research on typography, reading speed and comprehension. Plain Language for Lawyers is an essential resource for lawyers who aspire to communicate well. Professor Kimble names Michèle Asprey’s book Plain Language for Lawyers as one of the top publications in the history of plain language. In Writing for Dollars, Writing to Please – The Case for Plain Language in Business, Government, and Law – Carolina Academic Press, Durham, North Carolina, Professor Kimble lists Michele Asprey’s book as number 7 on his list of the top publications – quite an accolade.

Vulnerable people have become a key focus of policy.</p>\n<p>Concurrently, there have been stronger demands on police, and a steep increase in police powers in relation to their interaction with vulnerable people. The premise of this protectionist and interventionist agenda is threefold: to protect the rights of vulnerable individuals proactively cater for their vulnerability within the justice system; and to secure police operations and protocols within strict guidelines.</p>\n<p>This collection unpacks ‘vulnerable people policing’ in theory and practice and guides the reader through the policing process as it is experienced by police officers, victims, offenders, witnesses and justice stakeholders. Each chapter features a single step of the policing process: from police recruit education through to custody, and the final transfer of vulnerable people to courts and sentencing.</p>\n<p>This edited collection provides analytical, theoretical and empirical insights on vulnerable people policing, and reflects on critical issues in a domain that is increasingly subject to speedy conversion from policy to practice, and heightened media and political scrutiny. It breaks down policing practices, operations and procedures that have vulnerable populations as a focus, bringing together original and innovative academic research and literature, practitioner experience and discussion of policy implications (from local and international perspectives).</p>\n<p>The particular nature of this collection highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of police work, sheds light on how specific, mandatory policies guide police officers steps in their interaction with vulnerable populations, and discusses the practicalities of police decision making at key points in this process.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/policingvulneralbility_isabellebartkowiaktheron_nicoleasquith.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20121112 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 815 03 15 9781862879621 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 1de337fa-8c32-4f6b-badb-137f2cc59e85 BC 1 A01 Rob Jackson 208 10 LAW054000 12 2.1 LNHR 93 LNH 01 05 <p>The law surrounding post-employment restraint of trade has increasing importance in workplace relations law and practice.

Whether it occurs in the home, in the workplace, whilst out socialising or on the sports field, the personal, social, and economic costs of violence are often profound. Not only does it damage the physical and psychological health of those who are directly involved, but it also impacts adversely on many others - including witnesses, family and friends, and those law enforcement and health professionals who are expected to respond. And yet, there have been few previous attempts to draw together the various disciplinary and professional perspectives on how we might approach the task of preventing violence in Australia.</p>\n<p>This book has been written by experts in violence prevention, whether they be forensic, clinical and developmental psychologists, criminologists and sociologists, social workers, or specialists in public policy, law, and education.

What interests does it affect and protect? Is there a justification for the right? \n<P>It discusses the relevant legal regime in all Australian jurisdictions. It covers the extent to which privacy has been protected under common law and equity and then weaves these principles into the statutory discussion of privacy.

The method, however, is not free from controversy.\n\nSince its first introduction into Australian constitutional law, there have been debates regarding its use. Recent cases, in particular, have seen a splintering on the High Court, with some judges expressing support for proportionality as a useful tool in certain contexts, while others have expressed deep reservations about its suitability. Against this background, <em>Proportionality in Australian Constitutional Law</em> proposes a theoretical framework for proportionality, and uses that framework to explore a critical question: when is proportionality an appropriate analytical tool in Australian constitutional adjudication? 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/proportionalityinaustralianconstitutionallaw_chordia.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20200910 Federation Press 21 02 120 AUD 01 109.09090909090908 AUD 725 03 15 9781862878327 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0716f852-373e-434a-8826-64c1f55857c9 BC 1 A01 Christopher Reynolds 496 10 LAW034000 12 2.1 LNKJ 93 LNKJ 01 05 <p><em>Public and Environmental Health Law </em>is a successor to <em>Public Health Law and Regulation </em>2nd edition and offers a critical and up to date assessment of the legislation, cases and policies that impact on public health practice in Australia and New Zealand.</p>\n<p>As with earlier editions, this book outlines and discusses laws in a range of important areas including environmental health, food safety, communicable disease, obesity, tobacco and alcohol, the human health impacts of pollution control and planning law. Particular focus is given to new directions in public and environmental health law including the “risk based” approaches reflected in recent legislation and statutory duties to protect public health. New issues are also raised and discussed, including sustainability, the challenges of climate change, preparedness for pandemics and other public health emergencies and health impact assessment.</p>\n<p>Introductory chapters set public and environmental health law in the context of the wider legal system and discuss issues such as its constitutional structure, international trends and obligations, “rights” questions including natural justice and the proper exercise of statutory power by officers.

This book is the first text to draw these two topics together to clearly explain how the principles of statutory interpretation reflect the constitutional relationship between the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government. More particularly, the book provides: an overview of the origins and key stages in the development of the Australian legal system; an explanation of the concepts and ideals that form the foundation of Australian public law; an introduction to the institutions, structures and powers of, and relationships between, the three branches of the Australian government; and an explanation of how, in light of key public law principles, legislation is interpreted by Australia’s courts. The book incorporates in-depth case studies, discussion questions, reflective exercises, lists of further resources and other activities, which provide an opportunity to engage with pressing public law issues in a practical context. This third edition: includes two new in-depth statutory interpretation case studies to give students the opportunity to practise their skills; uses emergency powers as a case study through which to explore the challenges posed by extensive executive law-making and the limits of constitutional principles that protect individual liberty; incorporates and explores recent developments in case law, legislation and government action, including discussions of the 2023 Voice Referendum, the Royal Commission Report into Robodebt and the High Court’s decision on indefinite detention of non-citizens in NZYQ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs.

They interview prisoners, police officers, magistrates and judges. They speak with survivors of domestic violence, and drink tea with the mothers of murdered children. They observe courts and communities, investigate the decision-making processes of juries and immerse themselves in the data they collect. They ask ‘big’ questions – ‘how do we criminalise the producers of toxic toys?’ – as well as ‘little’ questions – ‘what should I wear to conduct this interview?’</p>\n<p><em>Qualitative Criminology: Stories from the Field</em> brings to life the stories behind the research of both emerging and established scholars in Australian criminology. The book’s contributors provided honest, reflective, and decidedly unsanitised accounts of their qualitative research journeys - the lively tales of what really happens when conducting research of this nature, the stories that often make for parenthetical asides in conference papers but tend to be excised from journal articles.</p>\n<p>This book considers the gap between research methods and the realities of qualitative research. As such, it aims to help researchers and students who conduct qualitative criminological research reflect upon their role as researchers, and the practical, ideological and ethical issues which may arise in the course of their research. It is also a call to criminologists to make public the ‘failures’ and missteps of their research endeavours so that we can learn from one another and become better informed and more reflexive qualitative criminologists.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/qualitativecriminology_loranabartels.jpg 01 Hawkins Press 20110228 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 967 03 15 9781760021894 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 3b999766-6076-4ed5-95d2-51002ce01bf5 BC 1 A01 Patricia Easteal 2 A01 Simon Bronitt 224 10 LAW043000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LAQG 01 05 <p>This important new book is a successor to <em>Balancing the Scales</em>, published 20 years ago. Revisiting and extending beyond the themes in the previous collection, the authors offer new ways of thinking about the wrongs of rape and the responses of the criminal justice system. A unifying theme of this book, which meld critical and feminist legal analysis, is contestation. Contestation, the authors contend, is part of the DNA of rape law. Examining the principal reforms of rape law – relating to consent, intimate partner rape, legal responsibility (both individual and institutional), trial and sentencing processes – the authors build to their conclusion that contestation is a battle between realities, perceptions and attitudes. It is of course a forensic battle anchored to a question of ‘(un)reasonableness’, whether it relates to the actions, beliefs or decisions of the accused, the victims, the police, lawyers, judges and jurors.</p>\n<p>Over the past two decades, the field of rape law has been subject to much academic debate, policy development and law reform. While there has been some progress, victims’ experience of the law and legal process often constitutes a form of secondary trauma. To contextualise the state of the law and to assess the impact of ‘feminist’ reforms, the authors devise a series of hypothetical cases to evaluate the legal reasoning of lawyers and judges at various stages of the trial and sentencing process. These accounts encourage readers to test their own and the law’s normative ideals of gender justice relating to equality, privacy, fairness and human dignity. The authors conclude that fundamental concepts of rape law – consent, responsibility, ‘just’ punishment – demand further contestation. This book provides insights and strategies for contesting law’s ‘truths’ in relation to rape in its many and varied manifestations.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/rapelawincontext_patriciaeastealsimonbronitt.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20181003 Federation Press 21 02 69.95 AUD 01 63.590909090909086 AUD 1094 03 15 9781760024314 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 86a6f110-a37a-48e1-a528-4663c5c39a35 BB 1 A01 Lauren Butterly 240 10 LAW110000 12 2.1 JPVH3 93 LA 01 05 The Blue Mud Bay Case, handed down by the High Court in 2008, was a historic decision that granted the strongest Aboriginal rights over sea country in Australia. After the Blue Mud Bay Case was handed down, the NT Government and Traditional Owners agreed that the best way to move forward was to negotiate how the relevant sea country would be governed. The pre-history and aftermath of the Blue Mud Bay Case reveals a series of evolving interactions between Indigenous and settler-state assertions of sovereignty in sea country. This book analyses five historical and contemporary episodes and demonstrates that the protracted nature of the Blue Mud Bay negotiations has been caused by the underlying struggle of the settler-state to acknowledge the challenge to the settler-state’s assertions of authority over sea country. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Butterly-Reconciling-Sovereignties.jpg 01 Federation Press 20240312 Federation Press 21 02 145 AUD 01 131.82 AUD 1022 03 15 9781760022365 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b335628b-bfa6-4a85-8395-b7d5032e6700 BZ 1 A01 John Tarrant 240 10 LAW021000 12 2.1 LNCJ 93 LNCJ 01 05 This book comprehensively analyses the equitable doctrine of rectification with its main focus on rectification of contractual documents.

Governments have contended with a global pandemic, regulatory failure has been in the spotlight in Australia (think Robo Debt, and the Banking and Aged Care Royal Commissions). Rapid changes in technology, a challenging economic environment, and increasing international uncertainty are all creating new challenges for regulators. The new edition has been significantly expanded to assist regulators, policy makers and their advisors in dealing with these changes. The coverage of behavioural regulation has been extended, and it now forms a discrete chapter, and new chapters have been added dealing with regulatory technologies, and the digital economy and artificial intelligence. Regulation in Australia provides a comprehensive analysis of the nature of regulation, its origins and development in Australia, why governments regulate, how they regulate, and who regulates whom at the federal, state and local government levels. Management of the regulatory process, the principles of good regulation and red tape in regulation are examined. The role of soft law, prescriptive, performance-based and principle-based regulation, as well as the use of rewards and incentives in regulation is also explored. How governments use economic, transactional informational and structural regulatory tools and authority tools is extensively discussed. The book examines the crucial issues of compliance, enforcement and sanctions and provides expanded consideration of regulatory failure. Crucially, however, the book seeks to provide constructive guidance by exploring regulatory strategies, provides an overview of approaches to evaluating regulation and considers innovation and the building of regulatory capacity. Regulation in Australia provides an accessible overview of regulation which is firmly grounded in Australian law and practice and informed by the rapidly expanding literature on effective regulation. It will appeal to regulators, policy makers, lawyers and students of regulation. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Freiberg-Regulation-in-Australia-2e-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250530 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 737 03 15 9781862878464 01 ONIX_NOSEQ d9c29ba2-d7a8-4c21-82e4-70810e8476e8 BB 1 A01 J M Bennett 464 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 <p>Aristocrat by birth, autocrat by nature, and officer of the Royal Engineers by training, Sir William Denison became a Governor in Australia in the mid 19th century at a time of momentous change.</p>\n<p>Arriving in Tasmania in 1847, he provided strong and controversial leadership while debate on convict transportation raged. His support for its continuance (he had the convicts doing valuable public work) caused a furore amongst the free community and unwillingly he had to yield. The Colonial Office in London was impressed and promoted him “Governor-General” of New South Wales in 1855.</p>\n<p>There, his tenure co-incided with the start of Responsible Government (1856), a concept he despised, and which he did his best to subvert. His battles with the new parliamentarians were fierce if ultimately unavailing, but again his conduct found favour with the Imperial Government who promoted him to Governor of the Presidency of Madras (and, for an important period, Acting Viceroy of India).</p>\n<p>Sir William Denison concluded his service to the Crown in 1866, and is remembered as one who “stood among the first class of Governors”.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/reluctantdemocrat_jmbennett.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20111201 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 793 03 15 9781862879324 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 6f26df9c-2916-49b0-b3a7-fbe3548d8b99 BC 1 A01 David Wright 2 336 10 LAW080000 12 2.1 LNL 93 LNV 01 05 Remedies are incredibly important. Remedies are what clients want and understanding the law of remedies is crucial to both the study and the successful practice of law. Often remedies appear as afterthoughts to discussions about breach – whether of tort, contract or equitable obligation. This common approach can cost clients a lot of money.\n\nVitally important too is an understanding of the significant overlap between remedies. Facts of the case can now be addressed from many different angles – for example, facts giving rise to a breach of contract may also give rise to actions in unjust enrichment and breach of the <em>Competition and Consumer Act</em>. Failure to appreciate different remedial consequences can cost clients hugely.\n\nThis work briefly sets out what the law of remedies in Australia actually is. By focusing on the Australian law, written in simple to understand language, accessible to all lawyers and law students, the book delivers what students and practitioners want and what their clients need.\n\nThe new edition enhances all this by being up-to-date in this changing environment and by ending each chapter with a series of questions and answers, so that the law can be fully understood. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/remediessecondedition_davidwright.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20141120 Federation Press 21 02 95 AUD 01 86.36363636363636 AUD 1067 03 15 9781760023775 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 9c1eea19-3099-40f4-ae6f-b5e1b21e82a3 BC 1 A01 Allan Anforth 2 A01 Christopher Adkins 3 A01 Peter Christensen 8 10 LAW074000 12 2.1 LNS 93 LNS 01 05 Residential Tenancies Law and Practice, 8th edition, deals with residential tenancy law in New South Wales.

Author Brenda Morrison proposes a continuum of responsive and restorative practices for building safe school communities. </P>\n<P>The first, most proactive, level of practices aims to develop all students’ social and emotional competencies, to enable students to resolve their differences in caring and respectful ways. </P>\n<P>The second level of practices widens the circle of care around the participants. Typically this level of response occurs when the problem has become more protracted or has involved (and affected) a larger number of people, and involves other members of the school community stepping in to assist in the resolution of the conflict or concern. </P>\n<P>The third and final level of practices involves the participation of an even wider cross-section of the school community, including parents, guardians, social workers, and others who have been affected. This tertiary level of intervention is normally only used for serious incidents within the school. </P>\n<P>Morrison explains the thinking behind the suggested responses and shows how they can be implemented by practices such as a responsible citizen program and restorative justice circles and conferences. </P>\n 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/restoringsafeschoolcommunities_brendamorrison.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20070320 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 378 03 15 9781862874145 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 49e447db-f0c5-4ceb-8562-bded19fbb72b BC 1 A01 Nick O'Neill 2 A01 Roger Douglas 3 A01 Simon Rice 2 800 10 LAW094000 12 2.1 LBBR 93 LNHD 01 05 This new edition of <em>Retreat from Injustice </em>has the strengths and style of its predecessor:\n<ul>\n <li>the account of human rights in Australia is firmly grounded in historical and international contexts;</li>\n <li>the availability and limitations of rights and freedoms are clearly detailed and illustrated with cases; and</li>\n <li>a particular spotlight is placed on key current human rights issues including terrorism, indigenous issues and asylum seekers.</li>\n</ul> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/retreatfrominjusticesecondedition_nickoneil_simonrice.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20040722 Federation Press 21 02 85 AUD 01 77.272727272727266 AUD 762 03 15 9781862878877 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 54fdc51b-29bd-4854-b8b2-9da249ad35ee BC 1 A01 Peter Agardy 128 10 LAW008000 12 2.1 LNPC 93 LNPC 01 05 <p>People going into business often obtain advice from professional advisers about how to structure the business.

Justinian’s codification has supplied an almost inexhaustible reservoir of legal concepts, doctrines and principles that have influenced the law that Australia inherited from England as well as the law of Continental Europe. After exploring the history of Roman law during the various periods of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire and following the spread of Roman law throughout Western Europe from its rebirth in the 11th century down to the present day, this book describes Roman law as to: paternal power, marriage and status of children; acquisition of property; succession on death; obligations, including contract, unjust enrichment and delict; crime and punishment, including military discipline. The narrative is interlaced with descriptions of the corresponding law of NSW and references to cases from the author’s experiences as a lawyer. It deals with both the history and substance of Roman law in a fashion appropriate for anyone interested in Roman antiquity and the culture of the Roman Empire. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Emmett-Roman-Law-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20250408 Federation Press 21 02 140 AUD 01 127.28 AUD 828 03 15 9781862879768 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 9060b1c0-1740-4c34-b810-05c7aa605b1a BC 1 A01 Michael Tooma 3 240 10 LAW054000 12 2.1 LNHR 93 LNH 01 05 <p><em>Safety, Security, Health and Environment Law</em> is a fully revised and restructured third edition of Michael Tooma’s ground-breaking integrated approach to the law and practice of work health and safety, security and environment management.</p>\n<p>This new edition builds on the discussion in the previous editions of the synergies between the regulation of and approaches to safety, security, health and the environment.

It is about the technicalities of putting a deed together, determined by the ancient common law as modified by Australian legislation. Deeds are used by practitioners for a variety of purposes. This book focuses on the mechanics and not on the underlying law that is engaged by using a deed. It is easy to get the mechanics wrong; there is advice to practitioners not to use deeds if a contract will suffice. If a deed must be used, this book can steer the practitioner to a successful outcome, despite the difficulties generated by nine different statutory provisions, some of which are badly drafted and uncertain in application. The COVID pandemic has stimulated changes to the law to enable electronic deeds. However, this has occurred in substantial and satisfactory legislation only under the Corporations Act and in Queensland. New South Wales and Victoria have enabled electronic deeds but otherwise have not adjusted the applicable law. The federal problem thus remains, in particular for cross-border transactions. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Seddon_Deeds_Cover.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20220930 Federation Press 21 02 165 AUD 01 150 AUD 608 03 15 9781862876798 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 84e0bc7b-34cf-497d-b855-cbb9015f09d1 BC 1 A01 Jan Jordan 246 10 SOC004000 12 2.1 JKV 93 JKV 01 05 <p>This book tells the story of fifteen women who survived a sexual assault, all of them attacked by the same serial rapist. It tells the story of their survival, and is based on extensive interviews with the fifteen women.</p>\n<p>The interviews illustrate how each stage of the process following the attack became an exercise in survival – surviving the assault, managing police interviewing, surviving and coping with going to court, surviving all the many impacts on their lives, and also managing how those close to them were affected.</p>\n<p>The picture that emerges demonstrates that surviving rape is not a one-off event but a continual process. The different procedures and aspects each pose their own challenges as the victims/survivors manage the various and on-going intrusions and encounters that follow in the aftermath of rape.</p>\n<p>This book presents their stories – the losses and the triumphs, the battles and the victories. Their accounts make both their fear and courage palpable. They demonstrate the many diverse ways in which a sexual attack can impact, not only on the woman herself but on her partner, parents, children, friends, neighbours – all of us. For when one woman is raped, a whole community hurts.

This biography offers a new and measured assessment of his character, work and legacies. Descended from an ancient Shropshire family his career as lawyer commenced on his call to the English Bar in 1868.\n\nAfter 10 years of modest Bar practice, he married and, seeking a consistent income, applied for a Crown appointment overseas. Offered only the Attorney-Generalship of British Honduras (Belize after independence) he accepted and endured years of harsh conditions leaving him with a persistent tropical disease. Most of his lawyer colleagues, from the Chief Justice down, were incompetent and corrupt. Yet Onslow worked diligently, trying to restore the rule of law, promote true justice and protect the disregarded interests of the Mayan ("Indian") natives.\n\nBy 1880 his pleas for transfer to better conditions were granted. He became Attorney-General of Western Australia, only to find little improvement, apart from the climate. The Colony's administration of justice was in disarray, Chief Justice Wrenfordsley, perpetually insolvent, was a feeble lawyer. Governor William Robinson personally disliked Onslow and made his life difficult. That was as nothing compared with outrageous treatment he received from the autocratic Governor Broome, who tried to precipitate Onslow's dismissal from the office of Chief Justice to which he had succeeded in 1882.\n\nOnslow has thus to defend his own position and protect the supremacy of the law from constant and brutal attack from Government House itself. To his credit he conducted himself with circumspection and distinction as Chief Justice. Never reconciled to Broome, he was able to establish friendship with Robinson who returned to succeed Broome as Governor.\n\nOnslow's concern for the community's underprivileged classes, and his awarding condign punishment to pastoralists who victimised Aboriginal labourers, were outstanding achievements.\n\nLady Onslow was a leading figure in women's movements, while she and her husband were accomplished musicians who gave many public performances.\n\nThis is the last volume, of his sole authorship, in Dr Bennett's remarkable 19th century series <em>Lives of Australian Chief Justices</em>.\n\n<strong>The Western Australian State Set</strong> of <em>Lives of Australian Chief Justices</em>, which includes, <strong>Sir Archibald Burt</strong>, <strong>Sir Henry Wrenfordsley </strong>and <strong>Sir Alexander Onslow </strong>is available for $130.00 - to order the <a href="../bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781862875036#bookcontents">WA State Set</a>, click <a href="mailto:%20info@federationpress.com.au">here.</a> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/siralexanderonslow_johnbennett.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20180606 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 664 03 15 9781862877542 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 154cdbe7-28f4-464d-9e0c-d4183c9713dd BB 1 A01 J M Bennett 568 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 Sir Alfred Stephen (1802-1894) was descended from generations of Stephens celebrated in England for their contributions to the law, literature, politics and public administration. A creature of the nineteenth century, Sir Alfred personified its values. Born at St Kitts, educated in England and there called to the Bar, he at first progressed so slowly that he decided to return to the colonies. As a pioneer Crown Law Officer in Tasmania he was ambitious, aggressive, and astonishingly successful financially. But, lacking tact, he fell out with the Lt-Governor and the judiciary.\n\nTaking another chance, he accepted a temporary judgeship at Sydney (1839), won immediate respect, and became Chief Justice (1844), serving with great accomplishment until 1873 – a term never equaled in New South Wales. He was first President of the Legislative Council after Responsible Government (1856), returning to the Council on resigning as Chief Justice. His many public services included being Lt-Governor; helping to establish The University of Sydney; and supporting such institutions as hospitals, museums and art galleries. Despite the difficulty, on a fixed income, of providing for his many children, he was great philanthropist.\n\nHis name and works, now much forgotten, but of world renown in his day, are recalled in this biography by Dr John Michael Bennett, AM, whose project to write it was awarded the 2006 News South Wales History Fellowship. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/siralfredstephen_jmbennett.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20091127 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 399 03 15 9781862874381 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 62c17a5c-a4e1-4608-b891-1b236e86e3a0 BB 1 A01 J M Bennett 158 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 <p>Archibald Paull Burt, "reputed to be the ablest lawyer in the West Indies", arrived in Western Australia in 1861 at the age of 50 when bureaucratic disputes blocked his preferment in the Caribbean.</p>\n<p>He came from a long established family of sugar planters in the Leeward Islands, where he himself was a slave owner for a short time.

A sound rather than a brilliant lawyer, duty was his watchword, evangelical churchmanship his consolation. For 17 years, he trudged on through illness and the meanness of the Colonial Office which saw him one of the worst paid judges on colonial service. In 1856 he was recognized at last with appointment as the Province’s first Chief Justice. Dr Bennett shows that the appointment was well merited. In a strong re-evaluation, Cooper is shown to have been a good and effective judge, whose puny modern reputation has been shaped too much by the distorted, politically based, views of critics of his day. His early years on the Bench required him to grapple with the problem of trying to apply English law to the indigenous people. He brought peace to a querulous legal profession and did much to reverse entrenched community contempt for authority existing in Adelaide on his arrival. His workload was enormous. He remained the only judge until 1850 and thereafter he found himself often in collision with the eccentric and irrepressible Benjamin Boothby (appointed puisne judge in 1853). Sick and exhausted, Sir Charles Cooper retired to England on a pension in 1861. There he regained his health and survived to the age of 92, a further 26 years. He had supported the explorations of Charles Sturt who named the legendary Cooper’s Creek in his honour. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/51mm8ntg1DL.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20030315 Federation Press 21 02 49.5 AUD 01 45 AUD 806 03 15 9781862879546 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 8dd855f1-d5cf-44b6-bac9-e791171b6ddf BB 1 A01 J M Bennett 392 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 <p>J M Bennett’s new biography shows the mercurial figure of Lilley to be one of the giants of colonial Australia, a politician who took on the squatter class and forced democratic reform, earning the enduring, virulent hatred of his opponents; a Chief Justice of brilliant calibre until his one disastrous mistake.</p>\n<p>“Sir Charles Lilley has proven a polarising figure, often subject to caricature and ridicule.

Because it was his responsibility to introduce the rule of law in a colony still preoccupied with the reception and reformation of British convicts, he came into collision with many of the leaders of the limited free society.\n\nAlthough he led a life of scrupulous detachment from the community, apart from his enforced and sometimes embarrassing membership of the Legislative Council, he was unsparingly, and wrongly, criticised for favouring the convict class. Those and other criticisms have persisted and been expanded over the years. This study seeks to correct their misconceptions and misinterpretations.\n\nForbes did not arrive in NSW as a judicial novice. He had been chief Justice of Newfoundland and a Crown Law Officer in Bermuda. This book gives closer attention to those early years than has any previous account, as his reputation for probity and ability, already well established before he came to Sydney, was the antithesis of the bad character attributed to him by his enemies in Australia. A review is also offered of his awkward relations with the headstrong Governor Darling and of the peculiar difficulties that confronted Forbes in establishing Australia's first superior court. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sirfrancisforbes_jmbennett.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20011211 Federation Press 21 02 49.5 AUD 01 44.999999999999993 AUD 983 03 15 9781760022037 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 9d1ce73b-7324-4f3c-9ed6-eed84d71859c BB 1 A01 J M Bennett 2 A01 R C Solomon 272 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 Introducing his <em>May it Please Your Honour</em>, a history of the Supreme Court of Western Australia (with Geraldine Byrne, 2005), the eminent Australian historian Geoffrey Bolton wrote that readers would “encounter the law in Western Australia not as a bloodless study … but as a vigorous and lively contributor to the health of a democratic society”.\n\nThe present authors confront a similar problem as readers in the early 21st century seem to find judicial biography of distant Australian years to be too remote to be interesting and to be too legal for historians and too historical for lawyers. That prima facie impression has proved repeatedly to have been an error of judgement – especially when made without reading the relevant volumes.\n\nThat is a pity as, of the 17 subjects in this series, nearly all lived interesting lives in exciting times that contain many lessons for the future. Sir Francis Villeneuve Smith, the present subject, is no exception. But, unlike other Australian Chief Justices of the 19th century, he was the offspring of an English merchant and a very dark-skinned Haitian woman. He inherited her sable complexion and suffered outrageous taunts and slurs on that account throughout his remarkable career.\n\nBorn in Haiti (1819) but educated in London and called to the English Bar he was a prize-winning scholar who, to general surprise, returned to the semi-rural estate his father created near Hobart.\n\nAdmitted to the Tasmanian Bar, F. V. Smith was an immediate success professionally and politically, being fourth Premier (post Responsible Government); Supreme Court Judge 1860-1870; and Chief Justice 1870-1885. His adventures along the way make for absorbing reading while again revealing important ingredients in the “health of a democratic society”.\n<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>This book celebrates the bicentenary of Sir Francis Villeneuve Smith's birth.</strong></p>\n<strong>**Listen to interview:</strong> Professor Stefan Petrow on ABC Radio Hobart <em>What made our 4th premier so controversial?</em>, Weekends with Joel Rheinberger_20 April 2019 <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/radio/hobart/programs/statewideweekends/francis-v-smith/11033148">Click here</a>\n\n<strong>The Tasmanian State Set</strong> of <em>Lives of Australian Chief Justices</em>, which includes, <strong>Sir John Pedder, Sir Valentine Fleming </strong>and <strong>Sir Francis Villeneuve Smith</strong> is available for $130.00 - to order the <a href="../bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781862875036#bookcontents">Tasmanian State Set</a>, click <a href="mailto:%20info@federationpress.com.au">here.</a> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/francisvilleneuesmith_johnbennett.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190311 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 879 03 15 9781760020569 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0dbc7c52-7b26-49e0-ab6f-906456916597 BZ 1 A01 J M Bennett 344 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 J M Bennett’s <em>Sir Frederick Darley</em>, the new biography in his acclaimed <em>Lives of the Australian Chief Justices</em> series, describes in fascinating detail one of the most extraordinary episodes in Australian judicial history. In November 1886, the circumstances being unprecedented, New South Wales had three successive Chief Justices.\n\nOn 4 November Sir James Martin died in office. Attorney-General Want, pressing a false claim to the vacancy, nevertheless declined it. The salary was too low. The great orator W B Dalley, QC, also rejected the position. His health was failing. F M Darley, QC, was immediately approached, but having a large family to support, he also declined. The government turned to Julian Salomons, QC, who accepted and was gazetted. Almost immediately, without taking his seat, he resigned for the extraordinary reasons disclosed in Dr Bennett’s fascinating chapter on the “Phantom Chief Justice”. A perplexed government urged Darley’s reconsideration. He did so reluctantly, serving from 29 November at great financial sacrifice. As the Hon Keith Mason, AC, QC, notes in his insightful foreword, Darley’s reluctance to serve was ultimately “matched only by his reluctance to relinquish the role over 20 years later”.\n\nRichly detailed chapters trace Darley’s progression from birth and education in Ireland to Bar practice there at a time when too many lawyers competed for too little work. Darley migrated to Sydney, succeeding beyond his wildest hopes to build a preeminent practice, command a fortune and become a Legislative Councillor.\n\nAlways regarding Australia as his “adopted country”, he retained his “Irishness” to the end. With characteristic care and precision, the author reviews Darley’s judicial career, his distinguished presidency over the Supreme Court in difficult years, and his work administering the colony on many occasions as Lieutenant-Governor.\n\nDarley might well have retired in 1902 when he accepted a place on the English Royal Commission inquiring into the poor military performance in the Boer War. But despite illness, and resistance to social and industrial change, he persevered on the bench until his death in 1910.\n\nThe product of meticulous research, <em>Sir Frederick Darley</em> paints an illuminating portrait of the life and times of this important man, whose judicial accomplishments and dedication to duty and service won great acclaim and respect.\n<p style="text-align: right;"><em>“As with his earlier lives of Chief Justices, John Bennett has provided us with insights into life and customs as well as fascinating snippets of Darley the husband and paterfamilias.

Jordan was the pre-eminent New South Wales jurist of the twentieth century. He declined appointment to the High Court in 1940, but his judgments in civil and criminal law have had an enduring influence second to none due to their scholarship, pithy language, didactic tone and their continuing endorsement by the High Court.\n\nThis biography examines the life and times of the man against the backdrop of legal and political events in Australia in the years surrounding the Second World War. As acting Governor, Jordan bore the brunt of a lengthy dispute between conservative interests, including “the palace”, and Labor’s Premier McKell, who was pushing to see the appointment of New South Wales’ first Australian-born Governor. The book brings to light hitherto unpublished correspondence involving former Governor Wakehurst and the Dominions Secretary, revealing some extraordinary machinations.\n\nJordan was fluent in six languages and deeply conversant with English and European literature. Such knowledge permeated his judgments. His private correspondence with Lionel Lindsay and a book called <em>Appreciations</em> published after his death discuss everything from cinema to children’s books, from Proust to pornography, from Shakespeare to the sociology of religion, from jazz to the “degeneracy” of modern art. This was truly a renaissance man. And under the frosty exterior that earned him the nickname “Frigidaire Freddie”, there was a passionate advocate for civil liberties whose excoriating rhetoric occasionally drew fire from the High Court. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/sirfrederickjordan_keithmason.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20191024 Federation Press 21 02 69.95 AUD 01 63.590909090909086 AUD 1093 03 15 9781760024789 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 53d03ec1-c70c-4ffe-be55-ae810317c574 BB 1 A01 Jeff FitzGerald 528 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 This is the first comprehensive biography of Sir Gerard Brennan, who is best known for his judgment in the Mabo case. It highlights the significant role Brennan played in the development of Australian law and in society more broadly. It traces his family background and life, education, and early career in Queensland before turning to the roles for which he is best known – inaugural president of the AAT, judge of the Federal Court and High Court, and finally, Chief Justice of Australia. It provides detailed analysis of Brennan’s most significant judgments and compares his reasoning with that of other members of the court. In so doing, it provides valuable insight into his judicial methodology. The book explores how Brennan dealt with the sometimes competing demands of the strict application of legal precedent, and of the need to do justice in a changing social context. It also considers the way he sought to balance the compelling demands of his judicial duties and those he saw inherent in both his family-responsibilities and his Catholic faith. The portrait which emerges does justice to Brennan the man, as well as Brennan the judge. As Registrar at UTS, the author worked closely with Brennan during the period he was Chancellor. He interviewed Brennan extensively, was given access to personal documents, and interviewed more than sixty of Brennan’s colleagues, associates, family members and friends. The resulting book is an important historical record of the life and times of a great Australian and will give readers a deeper understanding of the inner dynamics of the Australian court system. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Fitzgerald-Sir-Gerard-Brennan.jpg 01 Federation Press 20240313 Federation Press 21 02 79.95 AUD 01 72.68 AUD 474 03 15 9781862875289 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 00d94ca4-8724-4897-9a6b-18f5d4323899 BB 1 A01 J M Bennett 160 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 <p>Of all Chief Justices in Australia in the 19th century none so demeaned the office as did Sir Henry Wrenfordsley, second Chief Justice of Western Australia.</p>\n<p>Moving from an indifferent practice as a Dublin solicitor to a very insecure career as an English barrister, Wrenfordsley won notice for his interest in Conservative politics, twice standing unsuccessfully for Parliament.

The Law Officers in England agreed and Lutwyche continued to attack the government, looking for other legislation to invalidate. The Queensland Government begged the Colonial Office to find a Chief Justice in England and Cockle was appointed.</p>\n<p>Conciliatory, dignified, scrupulously impartial, and proficient as a lawyer, Cockle calmed the storms left by Lutwyche - and calmed Lutwyche who continued to sit on the bench as junior judge.

Dowling's advancement as puisne judge in Sydney, as acting Chief Justice during the absence on leave of Chief Justice Forbes, and a Chief Justice in succession to Forbes, depended on patrons. The principal was Lord Brougham, supported in England by Dowling's influential journalist brother Vincent.</p>\n<p>While he was not an outstanding judicial lawyer, Dowling was painstaking and industrious. His meticulous manuscript recording of court proceedings was an astonishing undertaking. This book reviews his contribution as judge and as <em>ex officio</em> Legislative Councillor.

His lasting significance stems not only from a mastery of the technique of the common law, but from his involvement in many of the most important decisions in Australia’s legal history. During the course of his long tenure on the High Court of Australia, Dixon oversaw the development of virtually every branch of the law. This volume contributes to the understanding of Dixon’s jurisprudence, his judicial method and present-day significance. It ranges widely over the various branches of the law which were enriched by his contributions. The contributors include leading scholars and jurists from across Australia.\n\nThe essays which comprise the volume are arranged in three sections. The first takes up a number of fundamental questions going to the character of Dixon’s judicial philosophy. Space is devoted to an assessment of the nature and merits of ‘legalism’, as well as a study of Dixon’s views of the Privy Council. The second section is concerned with his contributions to public law, including his decisions in respect of the criminal law. The third section is concerned with his judgments in private law, including his influence on real property, equity, contract and tort. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/owendixonslegacy_pilkingtoneldridge.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190705 Federation Press 21 02 150 AUD 01 136.36363636363635 AUD 777 03 15 9781862879072 01 ONIX_NOSEQ c865ff11-0474-4e11-9985-cabb4da4cd4a BB 1 A01 Greg Taylor 256 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 <p>Sir Richard Hanson was much more than a Judge - although he was an important Judge in his time.

William Stawell quickly made his mark in the nascent city, becoming Attorney-General within 10 years. He was a leading political figure and Governor Hotham’s chief adviser, as the colony moved towards self-government in the heady, unstable prosperity of the gold rush. He was, wrote the Argus, “The Government”.</p>\n<p>The catastrophic treason trials following the Eureka Rebellion should have sent Stawell to political oblivion – but they did not and, soon after, he was elected to the first Victorian Parliament under the new Constitution he had helped to write. A year later, in 1857, he manoeuvred himself into position as the Colony’s second Chief Justice, serving with great distinction for almost 30 years.</p>\n<p>The foreword to this biography comments “as a judge, and Chief Justice, Stawell was ideal for his times”. Dr Bennett reveals Stawell as an epitome of Victorian manly virtues: intellect, ambition, energy, bravery, charm, compassion. He shows why detractors would add arrogance, impatience and ruthlessness, and why history sustains the contemporary verdict on Stawell’s death in 1889: “one may see in the life now terminated the history of Victoria personified”</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sirwilliamstawell_jmbennett.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20050128 Federation Press 21 02 49.5 AUD 01 44.999999999999993 AUD 628 03 15 9781862877177 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 000cc24e-c0bc-40f6-9980-7cde46ab4eb2 BC 1 A01 Margaret Fitzherbert 304 10 HIS004000 12 2.1 HBJM 93 NHM 01 05 <p>Inspiring and informative, <em>So Many Firsts</em> examines the political lives of women in the Liberal Party from Enid Lyons to today.</p>\n<p>Annabelle Rankin, Margaret Guilfoyle, Helen Coonan and Julie Bishop are among the pioneering women who achieved so many firsts in their achievements as women, and for women.</p>\n<p>They had many hurdles to overcome – including the long fight to extend child endowment, the battle to remove the legislative barriers to married women working in the public service, equal work, equal opportunity and equal pay – along with the notion that they could do more than only represent women’s issues.

In this second edition, Briskman adopts a discursive human rights approach which offers the potential to center Indigenous rights and Indigenous voice.\n\nFully updated, the book includes new chapters and references to literature and research which have been published since the first edition. There are specific chapters devoted to the areas of youth, health, criminal justice, children and families and an interrogation of different forms of social work practice such as casework, advocacy, research and community development.\n\nThis book provides practitioners and students with a good understanding of the circumstances they will be presented with when working with Indigenous communities, and an opportunity to reframe their practice so that they can provide services that are the best fit for Indigenous aspirations and rights. Good practice is marked by recognition of the strengths of Indigenous communities and an understanding of how to acknowledge and facilitate these. A human rights framework offers the potential for this to be achieved. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/socialworkwithindigenouscommunitiessecondedition_lindabriskman.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20140220 Federation Press 21 02 44.95 AUD 01 40.86363636363636 AUD 1058 03 15 9781760023249 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b34b7897-5ed5-4623-b49c-5a49bdf580d2 BB 1 A01 David O'Brien 3 304 10 LAW012000 12 2.1 LNA 93 LNAC 01 05 ‘David O’Brien’s third edition provides those involved in special leave applications with very useful practical guidance as to the making and conduct of such applications. But it is much more than that, it is a substantial historical work. The author is again to be congratulated.’ – from the Foreword by David Jackson AM QC. This much anticipated third edition of Special Leave to Appeal for the first time incorporates the significant 2016 amendments to Part 41 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth). These amendments established, among other things, that the determination of most applications is now on the papers, without an oral hearing. To obtain special leave to appeal it is necessary to establish not only an error in the lower court’s judgement, but also some special feature of the case which warrants the High Court’s attention. There is no exhaustive list or comprehensive definition of what is ‘special’. That is largely to be gleaned from the High Court’s reasons for refusing special leave. This book is as comprehensive a statement of the law and practice of applying for special leave as there is. With reference to over 2000 decisions and relevant statutory provisions, this work is an invaluable aid to preparing to make or meet an application. The third edition addresses both civil and criminal applications. Key chapter headings include civil and criminal criteria for the grant of special leave, and civil and criminal procedure. There is also a final chapter on presenting persuasive submissions. With a preface by Australia’s leading practitioner in this area, David Jackson AM QC, this is an essential work for anyone participating in an application for special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/obrien_specialleave.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20211207 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 867 03 15 9781760020415 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f9917bd8-7abe-4df0-b2d4-fddea503fb22 BC 1 A01 Paul Bennett 144 10 LAW025000 12 2.1 LNAA 93 LNAA 01 05 <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Cecelia O’Loughlin</strong> (a Narungga woman from Point Pearce, South Australia) </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Community Justice: You have a voice, let it be heard</em> </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">2003 </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">oil on canvas </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Purchased collection of the Courts Administration Authority, Adelaide, 2003 </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">© Courts Administration Authority</span></p>\n<hr>\n<p>The specialist Aboriginal Court is one of the most important and controversial measures introduced in recent decades to address the disadvantage and particular needs of Aboriginal people in the criminal courts of Australia. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of Aboriginal Courts and their relationship to the criminal justice system.</p>\n<p>The Aboriginal Court is examined from practical and theoretical perspectives: the rationale for a specialist court for Aboriginal people, its aims, how they work, what they achieve and its critics. It describes the differing models of Aboriginal Courts in each jurisdiction, identifying their common features whilst emphasising their diverse and fundamentally localised nature. The analysis of what Aboriginal Courts achieve is introduced with a summary of current research on a range of outcomes: Aboriginal community participation, better sentencing information and attendance and recidivism rates.</p>\n<p>The book’s central theme is that Aboriginal Court sentencing provides a simple and direct way for Aboriginal people to be heard and understood in a manner rarely achieved by a mainstream magistrates court in a busy list. This unique approach empowers and involves Aboriginal people in the court process, reducing barriers of language, culture and social disadvantage whilst better informing the sentencing court on the often complex needs of Aboriginal offenders, victims and their communities.</p>\n<p><em>Specialist Courts for Sentencing Aboriginal Offenders</em> draws on current literature, academic and government research and the author’s experience as a lawyer and magistrate in Aboriginal, specialist and mainstream criminal courts to explore how Aboriginal Courts have developed, their significance and to propose their more widespread use.</p>\n<p class="book-review-credit">“Paul Bennett’s work will be highly valued, particularly by professionals involved in the criminal justice system.

This book considers how judges in private law cases should respond to this change. How are statutes to be interpreted in this area with its deep historical roots, and is it reasonable to think that statutory interpretation might have different aspects and emphases in private law compared with public law?\n\nDivided into three parts: Introduction; Current Trends and Debates; and, Applications of Statutory Interpretation in Private Law, the book seeks to recognise the institutional reality of the statutory presence in private law. A distinguished group of authors including the Hon Tom Bathurst AC, Justice Mark Leeming and Justice Ashley Black, consider this question from a range of viewpoints. For example, the area of private law is full of transactional analysis – how different is the construction of contracts from statutory interpretation?\n\nThe book canvasses some general questions about how statutory interpretation operates in private law, such as whether there should be a different concept of the principle of legality in private law, or whether parliamentary intention might include an understanding of private law. Particular applications such as the role of statutory interpretation in contributory negligence, defamation, directors’ duties, consumer law and equity are also considered. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/statutoryinterpretationinprivatelaw_vinesdonalds.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190517 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 145.45454545454544 AUD 712 03 15 9781862878181 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 30b24b3b-262b-4271-9922-feafe9bca796 BC 1 A01 Des Eccles 2 A01 Tannetje Bryant 4 304 10 LAW047000 12 2.1 LNKW 93 LNSH9 01 05 <p><strong>Please note: we recently published a new work <em><a href="../bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781760020859"> The Victorian Planning System: Practice, Problems and Prospects </a></em>by Stephen Rowley dealing with the same subject matter which is more up to date.

Daily commercial transactions and normal family dealings frequently require consideration of whether the tax avoidance provisions may apply. This second edition of Tax Avoidance in Australia provides a practical explanation of the workings of the main general tax avoidance provisions in Australia for income tax (Part IVA) and GST (Division 165). The explanation is placed in the context of the perceived deficiencies with the previous provisions and the elusive nature of the distinction between impermissible tax avoidance and permissible tax planning. In that context the book explains each of the elements necessary for the application of the anti-avoidance provisions. The book also looks at the obligations on advisers and the potential liability they face when advising taxpayers on anti-tax avoidance law. The second edition covers all of the significant legal developments since the original book’s publication in 2010, including the major amendments of Part IVA made in 2013, the new multinational anti-avoidance and diverted profits tax provisions, and the latest leading court decisions on Part IVA and Division 165. Every legal and accounting professional advising on tax and commercial matters will find this book a rich and useful resource through which to navigate the complex provisions that make up the general anti-tax avoidance rules. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/cover_pagone.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20230831 Federation Press 21 02 145 AUD 01 131.82 AUD 947 03 15 9781760021689 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f0d89f50-f6ca-4c93-b330-3281c39588e7 BC 1 A01 G T Pagone 288 10 LAW086000 12 2.1 LNU 93 LNU 01 05 This concise but authoritative book provides a practical guide to tax disputes in Australia.

What lessons can be drawn from these disasters and are mine operators, regulators and others drawing the correct conclusions from such events? Why is mining significantly safer in some countries than in others? Are the underlying causes of disasters substantially different from those that result in one or two fatalities?

In addition, it deals with the jurisdiction and powers of appellate courts, and what alternative remedies are available if there is no right of appeal. Appellate courts also have original jurisdiction, and this is likewise considered. Civil appeals and criminal appeals are dealt with separately because, although there are commonalities between them, criminal appeals in particular give rise to different considerations. A chapter is also included on appeals from military tribunals, which have their own peculiarities. A separate chapter is devoted to the new Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, and also to the Federal Court. In addition to the state, territory and federal courts at the intermediate level, the High Court is also discussed in a separate chapter. The work also includes a brief outline of the history of appellate courts. Although there are chapters designed to assist lawyers and judges who are new to appellate work and who are called upon to argue or to decide an appeal for the first time, the work is principally intended as a useful reference book for all lawyers involved in appellate work. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/front-cover_FP_Mildren2nd_Appeals_240x153_Case-Block_HR_Cover_1000pxl.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20230206 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 840 03 15 9781760024802 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 9de0655c-84e4-4e30-8cb1-9c3c9cf79c11 BC 1 A01 Hugh Dillon 2 A01 Marie Hadley 240 10 LAW020000 12 2.1 KNSZ 93 LNTU 01 05 The Coroners Court presents unique and complex challenges for coroners, lawyers and others working in the jurisdiction, as well as for bereaved families and friends.\n\nThis new manual, written by a leading Australian coroner and an academic lawyer with a special interest in the cultural diversity of death rites and customs, provides practical guidance not available in any other single publication in Australia and New Zealand.\n\nThe authors address the problems of:\n- Identifying deaths reportable to coroners and the over-reporting of natural deaths\n- Deciding the most appropriate, least invasive ways of conducting post mortem medical investigations\n- Dealing with objections by next of kin to autopsies\n- Responding sensitively and reasonably to the grief and concerns of the bereaved\n- Understanding and accommodating the diversity of death customs and funeral rites in a multicultural society\n- Selecting cases for inquest\n- Managing the coronial investigation and the inquest\n- Working with investigators and Counsel Assisting\n- Analysing accidents, human error and systems failure\n- Developing expertise in a wide range of technical issues\n- Focusing the inquest on death prevention and improving public health and safety.\n\nA key feature of the manual is a collection of checklists, models, tools to aid decision-making and other practical resources that all coroners and practitioners in the jurisdiction will find invaluable, including thoughtful exercises for those new to the jurisdiction.\n\nThe authors also provide tips for advocates working in the jurisdiction either as Counsel Assisting or representing families or interested parties.\n\n  04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/australasiancoronersmanual_dillon_hadley.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20150327 Federation Press 21 02 79.95 AUD 01 72.69 AUD 704 03 15 9781862878075 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 4d5144ca-c75f-4f0a-b61f-a91db2687589 BZ 1 A01 Anne Twomey 512 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 <p><em>The Australia Acts</em>, one enacted in Australia and the other in the United Kingdom, are fundamental constitutional documents for Australia: they terminated the remaining constitutional links between the two countries.

Class actions were introduced into Australia by Part IVA of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth) which commenced on 4 March 1992. This book uses the 30th anniversary as an opportunity to reflect on the major themes and controversies that have arisen during its operation. The text examines the initial objectives for the procedure, such as access to justice and the efficient resolution of multiple claims. It also focuses on how the core requirements of the justice system, namely procedural fairness, open justice and finality, apply in the class action context. The text then explores the role of lawyers and litigation funders as necessary contributors of expertise and financing. Lastly, the text examines the class action through a number of theoretical lenses, such as law and economics, comparative law and politics. The book features chapters from leading Australian and international academics and Australian jurists, including Emeritus Professor Peta Spender, Professor Rachel Mulheron, Justice Jayne Jagot and Justice Michael Lee. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/LeggMetzger_Cover_Front_HR_jpeg-scaled.jpg 01 Federation Press 20230118 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 946 03 15 9781760021672 01 ONIX_NOSEQ e739f9af-7212-4d0b-b7df-8b7a54c0fc9d BC 1 B01 Erwin Loh 2 B01 Manda Raz 272 10 MED024000 12 2.1 MBD 93 MR 01 05 Are you a medical student or junior doctor who aspires to pursue a satisfying career within the medical profession? <em>The Australian Medicine Careers Guide</em> is for you.

Use of automation by Australian governments has a mixed record of success. It allows governments to administer complex laws and deliver services more efficiently and accurately than humans could. However, recent experiences such as ‘Robodebt’ have highlighted that automation carries risks – for governments and citizens.\n\nThis book explores the implications, challenges and opportunities that automating government functions presents for our system of public law. It asks whether the laws and institutions we have in place to ensure accountability and transparency in government are fit for purpose in an age of automation. The book brings together judges, senior public servants, practitioners, and law and technology academics to interrogate these issues and find solutions that are workable from legal, technology and policy perspectives.\n\nFor readers new to the field, the book provides an entry point, including explainers on technology concepts commonly found in government automation. For readers familiar with developments in government automation, the book provides an opportunity to move beyond asking questions to exploring how elements of the public law system – both those that are familiar, as well as those less studied – can be adapted to preserve accountability and transparency in the digital age. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/theautomatedstate_bougheymiller-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210617 Federation Press 21 02 120 AUD 01 109.09090909090908 AUD 553 03 15 9781862876217 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 490b1cf7-87a3-4004-b155-1351c9837b90 BC 1 A01 Betty Weule 2 A01 Richard Brading 3 A01 Wayne Warburton 2 128 10 LAW008000 12 2.1 LNPC 93 LNPC 01 05 <p><em>The Bankruptcy Handbook</em> provides a clear and concise overview of the legal and financial processes, and of the implications for people facing bankruptcy.

Indigenous people involved tell how they came together to form a national organisation for child care, how they found similar experiences from one end of Australia to the other, how they pooled experience and emotion to provide support for one another, how they lobbied for a national inquiry.\n\nAnd they campaigned. Indigenous activists fought with astonishing resilience for recognition of past and present practices, for the right to have Indigenous viewpoints to the forefront, and for resources.\n\nBriskman's story goes beyond the contest with the state to give a convincing portrait of the ways in which Indigenous groups worked. There are connections with international action, educational and fund-raising projects, and the much-vaunted annual Aboriginal and Islander Children's Day.\n\nShe concludes by reflecting on the successes of campaigns and actions to date, and the extent of 'unfinished business'. Her strong academic background combines with the oral testimony of the activists to produce a fast-moving book that is both entertaining and rigorous. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/theblackgrapevine_lindabriskman.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20030709 Federation Press 21 02 22.95 AUD 01 20.86363636363636 AUD 381 03 15 9781862874190 01 ONIX_NOSEQ ab130e8e-2c63-4a8a-9876-ec3e27a1a04d BB 1 B01 Patrick Keyzer 2 B01 Robin Creyke 224 10 LAW001000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDB 01 05 <P>This book commemorates the achievements of Sir Gerard Brennan AC KBE in the field of administrative justice. \n<P>Through the eyes of judicial colleagues (Sir Anthony Mason, former Justice Davies, Justice Wilcox, Justice Balmford)), practitioners (Stephen Gageler SC), a former associate (Associate Professor Gerard Carney) and an eminent public lawyer (Stephen Skehill), we develop a picture of this key figure in Australian legal history. \n<P>Sir Gerard's own voice is heard on the limits of the court's role in an era of corporatisation and lamenting its removal on politically sensitive issues such as migration. Through the three themes of the work - judicial review, human rights (including the impact of international law) and administrative tribunals - we view a man who adhered strictly to principled reasoning, consistency and constitutional propriety, a man who impressed on administrative law the standards, integrity and high standing which marked his judicial career. \n<P>Sir Gerard is a man of principle and of compassion, sensitive to constitutional boundaries, a champion of individual rights, a guardian of judicial integrity and a principled common lawyer. It was to this figure that the stewardship of some of Australia's key administrative law institutions, particularly the Commonwealth's Administrative Appeals Tribunal, was entrusted. It was his wise initial captaincy which set that institution apart, preserved it from a hostile public sector, and ensured that the concept of a merit review tribunal with wide jurisdiction has been or is being copied in most Australian States and Territories. \n<P>Sir Gerard's contribution did not end there. His understanding of the need for respect between and tolerance of each arm of government, especially between the executive and the courts, progressed with him to the Federal Court and ultimately the High Court of Australia, where he was Chief Justice from 1995-1998. At each level he produced outstanding and insightful judgments tempered by those personal qualities, and enriched by his deep understanding of law and government. \n<P></P> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/thebrennanlegacy_robincreyke_patrickkeyzer.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20020618 Federation Press 21 02 75 AUD 01 68.181818181818173 AUD 923 03 15 9781760021436 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 391dadcd-8e56-42c0-a80e-3e6577177369 BC 1 A01 Tanya Josev 256 10 LAW052000 12 2.1 LA 93 LA 01 05 <p>The term ‘judicial activism’ is seemingly ubiquitous in Australia and the United States today. Prominent public figures, from politicians to cardinals, commentators to business executives, have used this terminology to condemn superior courts and certain judicial outcomes. In Australia, High Court decisions on matters such as native title, property law and the interpretation of Australian history (for instance, <em>Mabo</em>); constitutional rights; the law of negligence; and migration law have been attacked in some quarters as being ‘undemocratic’ and ‘activist’, and as exemplifying the growing elitism of higher court judges. In the United States, decisions relating to reproductive rights; gun laws; school prayer; racial segregation and the interpretation of American history (for instance, <em>Brown v Board of Education</em>) have also been criticised on this basis. Yet as the judicial activism critique is increasingly adopted by the popular media, many lawyers and judges are hesitant to engage with the terminology, seeing it as nothing more than an empty pejorative.</p>\n<p>What is judicial activism? What are the origins of the terminology? Who has been accused of practising activism? This book provides a history of the term ‘judicial activism’, from its inception as a historian’s catchphrase in the United States in the 1940s, to its nursery years in the universities, and finally, to its more recent manifestation in both Australia and the United States as part of election campaigns and the politics of anti-elitism. Covering diverse topics such as constitutional scholarship, the ‘history wars’ in Australia, and United States Presidential campaigns, <em>The Campaign Against the Courts</em> also charts the migration of the debate over judicial activism from the United States to Australia over the past 25 years.</p>\n<p>For those interested in law, politics and history, <em>The Campaign Against the Courts</em> provides a narrative account of one of the most controversial topics in law-making today.</p>\n<p><strong>Praise for the book:</strong></p>\n<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“A forensic exploration of the strange territory that turned conservatives in America and then Australia against the courts.

Indeed, with the rise of legislation as a source of law, it has come to dominate legal practice. Yet statutory interpretation has sometimes been derided by commentators. Is this criticism fair? Is the law in a state of disrepair? Or have its strengths and its inherent limitations been overlooked? This book critically examines, from multiple perspectives, the coherence of the principles and practice of statutory interpretation. The main questions it addresses are: is the law coherent and if so, what are those respects? And if in certain respects it is not coherent, how and why has this come about?\n\nSpecifically, the book examines whether statutory interpretation has constitutional foundations and whether these lend coherence. It explores whether legislative drafting can anticipate statutory interpretation and whether this background aids coherence. It asks whether statutory interpretation has a coherent <em>overall</em> method. And it examines several important aspects of statutory interpretation to see whether reliance on them aids coherence. These aspects include the text of legislation, and whether it limits the judicial role; the presumption that Parliament intends the legislative purpose be promoted; Acts Interpretation Acts; and objects provisions.\n\nThe contributions to the collection are written by distinguished commentators with expertise in statutory interpretation, including judges, barristers, Crown Counsel, parliamentary counsel, and academics.\n\nExamining coherence has the potential to bring significant benefits to the law and the wider community. To the extent the law of interpretation is found to be coherent, the examination increases the confidence in the judiciary and the administration of the law. To the extent it is not coherent, it produces material for consideration as to its improvement. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/coherenceofstatutoryinterpretation_jeffreybarnes.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190729 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 145.45454545454544 AUD 978 03 15 9781760022006 01 ONIX_NOSEQ e6039d68-566e-4ce4-85ed-e99795ed8081 BB 1 B01 Anne Twomey 2 A01 William Pitt Cobbett 640 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 <p>Between 1910 and 1919,<a href="../bookstore/author.asp?id=1667"> William Pitt Cobbett</a>, former Professor of Law and Dean of the Sydney Law School, wrote what would become his great opus on the Constitution and Government of Australia but the manuscript was never published.

It covers the constitution, operation and interaction of the State legislature, executive and judiciary, as well as the relationship between the State and the Commonwealth in the federal system.\n\nMost importantly, it deals with all the issues necessary to determine the validity of State laws, including: the legislative power of the State Parliament; limitations on legislative power derived from different sources including express and implied limitations in the Commonwealth Constitution; the effectiveness of State manner and form constraints and the consequences of their breach; legislative procedure; and the technical rules concerning the passage of taxation and appropriation bills.\n\nWhilst the book uses the <em>Constitution Act 1902 </em>(NSW) as its focus, it addresses constitutional issues arising in all Australian States, such as parliamentary privilege, electoral law and disputes about the qualification and disqualification of Members of Parliament, money bills and parliamentary procedure. It deals with these issues from a State perspective, raising important distinctions that are not addressed in texts on Commonwealth constitutional law.\n\n<em>The Constitution of New South Wales </em>places the constitutional framework of the State in its historical and political context. Using previously unpublished government material, it provides a fundamental reassessment of the relationship between the States, the Commonwealth and the United Kingdom, and the first detailed analysis of the negotiation and application of the <em>Australia Acts 1986</em>, which now form a significant part of State constitutions. It explains how the Parliament, the Executive Council and the Cabinet operate in practice, rather than theory, and gives practical examples to illustrate the operation of constitutional provisions.\n\nThis, the first and only comprehensive analysis of the New South Wales Constitution, is an essential addition to all legal, government and university libraries.\n\n<img src="../images/book/SQL.jpg" alt="Sesquicentenary 1856-2006 Responsible Government in New South Wales" align="absBottom" border="1" />   A NSW Sesquicentenary of Responsible Government publication. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Twomey.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20041029 Federation Press 21 02 135 AUD 01 122.72727272727272 AUD 233 03 15 9781862872516 01 ONIX_NOSEQ e2f7863f-7224-4a00-ab45-86e528cbb252 BB 1 A01 Bradley Selway 312 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 <P>Selway, Solicitor-General for SA, analyses his State's Constitution in the first new work on State Constitutions for a generation.</P>\n<P>His book covers all the traditional subject matter and a variety of related topics that are usually treated separately.

It presents new research on crime, policy and the internationalisation of the criminal justice system. It sheds light on traditional debates in critical criminology through a confronting analysis of contemporary developments in criminal justice and criminology.</p>\n<p>This is the first textbook that brings together the major Australian and New Zealand theorists in Critical Criminology. The chapters represent the contribution of these authors in both their established work and their recent scholarship. It includes new approaches to theory, methodology, case studies and contemporary issues.</p>\n<p>It traverses a range of debates including the criminalisation of Indigenous people, ethnic communities, the working class, rural communities and young people from critical perspectives, and introduces new concepts of state crime. It covers developments in the penal system that have responded to globalisation and neo-liberalism, particularly in law and order and anti-terror campaigns. This coverage is counterpoised by portrayals of resistance within the penal system and considerations of restorative justice.</p>\n<p>The Companion is relevant to a broad range of courses and levels of study. It covers the major components of a Criminology course through a critical lens. It is a thorough introduction to concepts and critiques in criminology, as well as a provocative analysis of the assumptions underpinning the criminal justice system. Students, teachers and scholars in criminology, law and sociology will find this Companion invaluable.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AnthonyCunneen-Critical-Criminology.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20080208 Federation Press 21 02 64.95 AUD 01 59.045454545454547 AUD 895 03 15 9781760020750 01 ONIX_NOSEQ ec3a82a8-c869-4fe0-b803-77a31fbad881 BC 1 B01 Gabrielle Appleby 2 B01 Rosalind Dixon 272 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 <p><span style="font-size: xx-small"><strong>BRODLIM x JULIEN RAYNAUD</strong> </span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small"><em>Le Penseur 2015</em> </span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small">Kashmiri embroidery </span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small">80 cm X 80 cm </span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small">Reproduced with permission of the artist, Julien Raynaud and BRODLIM </span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small">© BRODLIM & Julien Raynaud </span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small"><a href="http://www.brodlim.com/">www.brodlim.com <br /></a><a href="http://www.julienraynaudart.com/">www.julienraynaudart.com</a></span><br /><hr>\n<p>This book introduces students to a number of critical legal perspectives and demonstrates how such perspectives might be used to influence and reimagine existing legal doctrines. It extends the seminal Feminist Judgments Project and adapts it specifically for the purpose of teaching critical legal thinking. Each chapter provides extracts and commentary on the prominent thinkers within the critical discipline before a leading critical scholar rewrites the judgment in the famous 2013 decision of the High Court of Australia, <em>Monis v The Queen</em>, informed and reimagined through this perspective.</p>\n<p>The case required the High Court to engage with deep issues about the role of free speech in democracy, the appropriate role of the state in regulating civility of discourse and protecting vulnerable groups, and the ongoing influence of gender and race in approaching these issues. The decision was the first in which the Court split over the relevant issues along gender lines. The saliency of the identity of the judges in the case makes it natural for introducing students to the idea that <em>who</em> judges are, and how they understand notions of constitutional justice, may matter to the resolution of concrete constitutional questions.</p>\n<p>The book builds on the seminal work undertaken in the Feminist Judgments Project by pluralising not just the feminist critique, but the wider range of critical perspectives brought to the judicial method. The critical perspectives in this project include feminism and the public–private divide, anti-subordination feminism, critical race theory, queer theory/post-structural feminism, law and literature, political liberalism, intersectional theory, law and economics, restorative justice and deliberative democratic theory.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/thecriticaljudgmentsproject_gabrielleappleby_rosalinddixon.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20161028 Federation Press 21 02 79.95 AUD 01 72.681818181818173 AUD 889 03 15 9781760020668 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 1a5060d7-d67c-4b42-8902-1c36a28de600 BZ 1 A01 James Watson 240 10 LAW060000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAZ 01 05 This book investigates the history of the modern doctrine of account, and by that history, seeks to identify some of the principles and premises which help explain the application of, and which underlie, the action today. The common law account, and its successor in equity, is over 800 years old. There does not appear to have been any work devoted to an examination of that history published in that time. The focus on the book is on the question 'who is an accountable party'? The area of law focused on is common law and equitable remedies, namely, the account (including the subsidiary principle, the 'account of profits').\n\n**Dr James Watson, <em>The Duty to Account: Development and Principles </em>, was a finalist of the inaugural Holt Prize 2015. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/thedutytoaccount_jawatson.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20160927 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 911 03 15 9781760021313 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 45056976-7b01-45b5-9f18-46735cfdcd53 BC 1 B01 Anna Chapman 2 B01 Ingrid Landau 3 B01 John Howe 336 10 LAW054000 12 2.1 LNHR 93 LNH 01 05 <p>This collection draws together contributions from leading Australian and international labour law scholars, based on papers delivered at a conference to mark the 21st birthday of the Centre for Employment and Labour Relations Law at the University of Melbourne.

Over the years papers have been delivered by some of Australia, Canada and the UK’s leading judges, legal practitioners and academics. The papers have in many cases laid the foundation for, and explained the consequences of, the successive rounds of regulatory reform seen in the Australian superannuation system. This book represents the first time that these seminal papers have been collected in the one place. As such it offers a unique perspective on the evolving conversation that has informed the regulatory scheme and shaped Australia’s superannuation system. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/trustinsuperannuation_donaldbeatty.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20171222 Federation Press 21 02 195 AUD 01 177.27272727272725 AUD 968 03 15 9781760021900 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 9cdbff35-c317-41ca-8331-ae761966c67a BZ 1 B01 James Stellios 2 B01 Pauline Ridge 400 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LNAA 93 LNDX 01 05 <p>To mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Federal Court of Australia, this collection brings together current and former Federal Court Justices, and leading academics and practitioners to consider the Federal Court’s past, present and future contributions to the development of Australian law.</p>\n<p>Although first established as a court of limited jurisdiction, the Federal Court’s jurisdiction now touches on almost every aspect of Australian law, and its impact on the development of legal principles and Australian society has been considerable.

As the editors, Ruth Higgins SC and Kevin Connor SC, state in their introduction: “A pervasive concern of the Honourable James Allsop AC, in both his judicial and extra-judicial writings, has been the pursuit of the often ineffable, but always necessary, human element in the law.” The book is divided into six parts and contains 18 papers, speeches and chapters which cover the nature of law and public power, the profession and judiciary, and substantive aspects of equity, statute, commercial, and maritime law. The result is a book that reveals the continuities and evolution of Allsop’s thinking, and his significant contribution to public life. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Allsop_Higgins_TheHumanityofLaw.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20241121 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 1084 03 15 9781760024536 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 56c76d72-7667-47bf-b12b-8523e80a4a07 BB 1 A01 John Kennedy McLaughlin 320 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 Australia enjoys a rich Irish heritage. This important work of legal and social history shines a light, for the first time, on Irish lawyers in colonial Australia. The book explains how it was that so many young Irish immigrants chose the Australian Colonies for themselves, to make careers in the law, and for some of them, in other fields as well as in the law. The book backgrounds how the divisions in Ireland – by class and religion – and a lack of opportunity led them to look elsewhere; the choices before them; and how they managed to infiltrate an already well established, English trained, colonial legal profession. The author’s fine appreciation of these immigrant lawyers’ Irishness, humour, feistiness, is woven throughout his engaging narrative. The author turns his keen scholarly eye to a range of subjects, including whether the Irish lawyers brought with them the sectarianism prevalent in their homeland; a comparison of the experiences of Irish lawyers in the other British colonies; and the nature of the interactions between Irish lawyers and the Indigenous populations. Finally, the book examines the careers of leading Irish lawyers, assesses the significant impacts Irish lawyers had on the development of the colonies, and explores, how to this day there are so many leaders of the Australian legal profession, and legally trained politicians, who are of Irish decent, notwithstanding the fact that there was an almost complete coalescence of Irish lawyers with their non-Irish colleagues. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/McLaughlin-Irish-Lawyers.jpg 01 Federation Press 20240201 Federation Press 21 02 79.95 AUD 01 72.68 AUD 997 03 15 9781760022297 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 186f0fa7-1075-4e03-b8bf-f9c585a98d91 BZ 1 A01 Alan Hyam 3 384 10 LAW074000 12 2.1 LNS 93 LNS 01 05 The new edition has a narrow focus in relation to the legal and valuation principles concerning rent review determinations and associated matters, but it contains valuable material relating to the interpretation of commercial and retail shop leases, nature of valuations, and the duties of valuers undertaking rent review valuations.\n\nIt covers a complex and specialised subject, provides valuable assistance to lawyers and valuers who practise in the area, and teaching institutions which conduct courses in property and valuation law.\n\nThe third edition contains references to, and summaries of, relevant cases decided throughout Australia since the publication of the second edition some five years ago.

The sixth edition includes summaries and extracts from cases and statutes current to 30 June 2019. Many topics have been expanded whilst new topics have been added.\n\nDue to limitations on the size of the book it has been necessary to exclude some of the older cases and materials and to reduce several extracts from cases. Therefore, the 5th and earlier editions should be retained for reference to excluded material.\n\nThe new edition provides an understanding of the subject by lawyers who practice in this area of the law, and valuers and other professionals who are engaged in the property industry. It is of particular relevance to valuers and other professionals who give valuation evidence before the Courts and Tribunals.\n\nThe sixth edition contains up to date (30 June 2019) valuation law and principles applied by the Courts and Tribunals throughout Australia. Care must be exercised in relying upon law and principles extracted from the Courts and Tribunals in other States and Territories as slight difference in the wording of statutes and regulations can cause different interpretations of the relevant sections and clauses. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/lawaffectingvaluationoflandinaustralia_alanhyam.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20200330 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.63636363636363 AUD 1100 03 15 9781760024987 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 6e25136a-7fb0-45f6-9254-25deb5570f7c BB 1 A01 John Levingston 2 432 10 LAW037000 12 2.1 LNAC 93 LNAC3 01 05 The second edition of this work, which covers the law and practice in relation to the use of affidavits, has been thoroughly updated and expanded, and now covers Singapore as well as Australia and New Zealand. Affidavits are used in Courts and Tribunals including arbitrations, to provide the evidence-in-chief of witnesses. There are evidentiary, formal and procedural rules which apply to affidavits. Non-compliance can result in the evidence being excluded, the case being lost, or proceedings adjourned with adverse costs orders against the party, or against the lawyer who prepared the affidavit. Most young lawyers serve an informal apprenticeship drafting affidavits under the supervision of more experienced colleagues, learning from their experience and saving their own references and precedents. Some, less fortunate are ‘thrown in at the deep end’ without guidance or supervision. In addition, case management has created new pressures for compliance with short timetables for filing and serving affidavits, so there is no luxury of time available in preparing affidavits which involves taking relevant instructions, putting it into an admissible form without mistakes and so it can survive objections. The Law of Affidavits provides a ready reference of evidentiary, formal and procedural rules together with precedents. As such, it is an essential book for all lawyers involved in preparing affidavits.

Since the first civil penalty provisions were enacted in Australia in 1904, there has been an ever-developing corpus of cases relating to the imposition of civil penalties alongside the increasing enactment and use of civil penalty provisions. The past decade has seen three landmark decisions of the High Court of Australia directed at the fundamental principles of the law of civil penalties. This collection of essays considers the purpose of civil penalties, the principles underpinning their imposition, and their deployment in different areas of the law as important tools of regulation and enforcement. The collection features a variety of different perspectives – judges, barristers, solicitors, academics, regulators, policy-makers and NGOs – from which it examines the doctrine of the law of civil penalties and reflects upon potential further development in this critical area of regulatory law and practice. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Kayis-cropped-cover-1.jpg 01 Federation Press 20230824 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 969 03 15 9781760021917 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0c7aeedf-ec45-44da-a93e-cf4648147750 BC 1 A01 Graeme Orr 320 10 POL055000 12 2.1 JP 93 JP 01 05 Democracy, in all its flaws, passions and intricacies, is the foundation of government.

From voting rights to the framework for free and fair elections and referendums, and from political parties to restraints on money in politics.\n\nFully revised, this second edition encompasses major developments in the qualifications of members of parliament, voting systems, campaigning and political finance. It also includes a new chapter on local government. Throughout, the law is canvassed in light of the aspirations of liberty, equality, integrity and deliberation, as well as the realities of practical politics. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/lawofpolitics_graemeorr.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190131 Federation Press 21 02 89.95 AUD 01 81.772727272727266 AUD 797 03 15 9781862879393 01 ONIX_NOSEQ b06eff2a-f69e-4f64-b901-68fb07330945 BZ 1 A01 W D Duncan 2 A01 W M Dixon 4 528 10 LAW074000 12 2.1 LNS 93 LNS 01 05 <p>This book examines the principles and practice of real estate mortgages in an easily accessible text referenced to all the Australian States.

It is an important part of the law of property and trusts, and the law of remedies. This book aims to provide a comprehensive account of the law of tracing. It offers clear answers to fundamental questions such as “what is tracing?” and “does tracing create new rights?”, while also explaining in detail the tracing rules and the application of those rules in hard cases. The book provides a complete treatment of the law in Australia and England. In explaining the law, the book also engages with a number of controversies that have arisen as a result of recent cases and academic work. Each issue is analysed from first principles and from authority, making the book a useful tool for anyone advising on cases involving tracing, teaching the law of tracing, or wishing to better understand the subject. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/English_Format_HB_Case-Block_243x153_TheLawofTracing_Cover_LR.jpg.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210902 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.63636363636363 AUD 831 03 15 9781862879782 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f9e5ff37-f3e5-4e1d-91aa-53cbb7197993 BC 1 A01 John Levingston 400 10 LAW001000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDB 01 05 <p>This is a practical book about the law governing practice and procedure in Tribunals with annotations on the <em>Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013</em> (NSW).</p>\n<p>Tribunals exercise administrative, curial and inquisitorial powers and are playing a greater role in the administration of justice in Australia for resolving administrative and civil disputes than ever before.

It addresses the negotiation of key clauses in merger and acquisition transactions from start to completion. It details, chapter by chapter, the typical underlying commercial considerations and critical issues behind the identified clauses and then sets out what may be considered standard or appropriate approaches to such clauses. In doing so, it fills a gap in the existing literature: an absence of the practical treatment of M&A agreements in the Australian market, despite the importance of M&A to the economy and the prevalence of M&A agreements. The book serves two purposes: a conceptual purpose, to show how a complex legal transaction can be traced to underlying commercial considerations; and a pedagogic purpose, to highlight the underlying structure of an important transactional instrument: the M&A contract. This highly practical resource will be essential reading for company directors, lawyers, bankers, and students. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/ScotneySippe-GettingtheDealDone_240x153_Case-Block_cover_concept-scaled.jpg 01 Federation Press 20230601 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 784 03 15 9781862879140 01 ONIX_NOSEQ ed5f1842-9af6-4242-ab43-60b6e3616583 BC 1 A01 Deborah Dinnen 2 A01 Francis Marks 3 A01 Lauren Fieldus 272 10 LAW054000 12 2.1 LNHR 93 LNH 01 05 <p>The new Work Health and Safety uniform laws impose extensive obligations on those who conduct a business or undertaking to ensure the safety of anyone who may be affected by the operation of the business or undertaking.

The principle holds that unless Parliament makes unmistakably clear its intention to curtail or abrogate a common law right, freedom or principle, the courts will not construe a statute as having that operation. As Lord Hoffmann famously observed, this “means that Parliament must squarely confront what it is doing and accept the political cost”.</p>\n<p>The principle of legality is now central to the operation of Australian and New Zealand public law. Yet its content, methodology and scope remain elusive and has never been examined in detail. This book fills that gap by drawing together leading judges, practitioners and scholars to explore a range of interesting issues and challenges for the application of the principle of legality and its future trajectory: How does the principle operate? Which rights and freedoms fall within its scope and why? What is its relationship to the (so-called) common law bill of rights? Has proportionality a role to play in its application? How, if at all, does it differ from the presumption with international law? And in the construction of statutes does the principle serve to fulfil or frustrate the will of Parliament?</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/theprincipleoflegalityinaustraliaandnewzealand_matthewgroves_danmeagher.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20170320 Federation Press 21 02 165 AUD 01 150 AUD 577 03 15 9781862877009 01 ONIX_NOSEQ fc2df533-7b8d-49dc-83e8-1dbd744c33bb BZ 1 A01 Peter Boyce 304 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 Canada, Australia and New Zealand inherited and adapted a monarchical framework of government, even in the absence of a resident monarch. Although steady transfer of the royal prerogative to a popularly elected executive has enabled these three former dominions to be sometimes described as "crowned republics" or "disguised republics", there was no popular drive to abandon monarchy until the 1990s, and even then the republican cause was based largely on issues of symbolism and national identity than on perceived core weaknesses in the political system.\n\nThis book traces the long and sometimes subtle process of localising monarchy in the vice-regal office from the mid-twentieth century onwards, and compares the powers and functions of the Queen's surrogates with each other and with those of the monarch herself, including their recourse to the so-called "reserve powers". Among the key questions posed in this comparative study are: Can the current monarchical system be refined to the point of countering republican sentiment? Why has the republican argument gained more momentum in Australia than in Canada or New Zealand? Can a republican model retain residual monarchic elements? What is likely to be the lasting legacy of the Crown in these three strikingly similar political cultures?\n\nThe author's underlying loyalties are neither firmly monarchist nor firmly republican. He is convinced, however, that the combined effects of a strong sense of national identity and an increasingly presidential style of political leadership within these three Westminster-derived systems make it difficult for contemporary governors-general (or their state and provincial colleagues)to fulfill two of their key roles-to unite and inspire the people on the one hand and to be a credible constitutional watchdog on the other. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/thequeensotherrealms_peterboyce.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20080918 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 798 03 15 9781862879409 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 113d0aaf-245b-4ad3-8cba-8baa4691a69d BB 1 A01 Sarah Murray 320 10 LAW052000 12 2.1 LA 93 LA 01 05 The Remaking of the Courts: Less-Adversarial Practice and the Constitutional Role of the Judiciary in Australia centres on the changing nature of courts within the Australian constitutional context. In essence, the monograph explores the degree to which less-adversarial innovations and the remodelling of the judicial role can be accommodated within Australia’s constitutional framework. The work draws upon comparative principles, separation of powers, jurisprudence and the theoretical perspectives of constitutionalism and neo-institutionalism. By examining Chapter III of the Commonwealth Constitution, and applying Chapter III approaches to less-adversarial case-studies traversing state and federal fields, the book argues that less-adversarial judicial practices can be broadly accommodated by the Australian constitutional framework. However, the book asserts that the clarity and suitability of the Chapter III constitutional approaches employed would be significantly improved by the adoption of a ‘contextual incompatibility’ methodology which would protect the constitutional role of the courts while not forestalling constitutionally compatible reform. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/9781862879409.jpg 01 Federation Press 20140321 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 90 AUD 691 03 15 9781862877931 01 ONIX_NOSEQ cf719114-f3ce-4230-99ca-57c4e08ee7ab BC 1 A01 Shae McCrystal 346 10 LAW054000 12 2.1 LNHR 93 LNH 01 05 <p>This book examines whether there is a right to strike in Australia through a detailed study of the laws which impact on the capacity of workers to take industrial action.</p>\n<p>Beginning with an exposition of the obligation to respect the right to strike in international law, the book traces Australian strike law from the conciliation and arbitration systems, through to the present regime for enterprise bargaining.</p>\n<p>The study considers the current legal regime for industrial action, both at common law and under the<em> Trade Practices Act</em> 1974 and the <em>Fair Work Act </em>2009.

It contains essays by: <STRONG>Chief Justice Murray Gleeson, High Court of Australia; Justice Louise Arbour, Supreme Court of Canada; Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court of USA; Dr Radhika Coomaraswamy, the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women; </STRONG>and <STRONG>Professors Saunders (Australia), Dyzenhaus (Canada) </STRONG>and <STRONG>Troper (France)</STRONG>. \n<P>Each essay is followed by a substantial comment by a distinguished Australian jurist - <STRONG>Justices Gaudron </STRONG>and <STRONG>Hayne, Sir Anthony Mason, Elizabeth Evatt, </STRONG>and <STRONG>Professors Saunders </STRONG>and <STRONG>McCormack</STRONG> - to highlight the relevance of the issues raised for Australia. \n<P>The essays cover issues such as: \n<UL type=CIRCLE>\n<LI>the debate about the meaning and application of the rule of law, nationally and internationally; \n<LI>the gaps between the theory and practice of the rule of law; \n<LI>relations between governments and people; \n<LI>the tensions between the judiciary and the elected branches of government (for example, ouster of the jurisdiction of the Australian courts); \n<LI>international criminal justice; and \n<LI>the position of women in situations of conflict and insurrection. </LI></UL>The analyses in the book draw on topical events ranging from the Florida appeal in the election of President Bush (Justice Ginsburg) to the indictment of Slobodan Milosevic at the War Crimes Tribunal (Justice Arbour, who was prosecutor). 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Desert-Pea-002.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20030807 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 89.999999999999986 AUD 913 03 15 9781760021337 01 ONIX_NOSEQ d541baba-0a82-4974-9a70-612070db6f89 BZ 1 A01 Lisa Burton Crawford 240 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 <p><em>* The Rule of Law and the Australian Constitution</em>, has been cited with approval and discussed by Edelman J in<em> <a href="http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/cth/HCA/2017/33.html">Graham v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection,</a></em> handed down by the High Court today (at [106] at [175])</p>\n<hr />\n<p>The rule of law is one of the most cherished political ideals in the modern world. Even though we disagree about what the rule of law means, we all seem to agree that it is a worthy goal, to which any good legal system should aspire. Yet, some argue that this is not enough; that the rule of law is too important to be left in the realm of politics, and must be protected by legal means.</p>\n<p>References to the rule of law now appear, with apparently increasing frequency, in case law from across the common law world. In some countries, it has been claimed that the government can never validly act in a way that is contrary to the rule of law. The position in Australia remains unclear. There is no mention of the rule of law in our constitutional text – but in the <em>Communist Party Case</em>, Dixon J said that the rule of law ‘forms an assumption’ of the Australian Constitution. This statement has often been repeated, but never properly analysed.</p>\n<p>Taking Dixon J’s statement as its starting point, this book examines the extent to which the rule of law is protected and promoted by the Australian Constitution – indeed, how the complex and contested concept of the rule of law should be understood within the Australian constitutional order.</p>\n<p>This wide-ranging and engaging book combines theoretical analysis of the concept of the rule of law and constitutionalism with doctrinal analysis of the case law of the Australian High Court. It examines the nature and limits of legislative, executive and judicial power, and so should appeal to constitutional and administrative lawyers, scholars and practitioners. The book adds an Australian voice to global debates and a novel perspective on that enduring question of how to create ‘a government of laws rather than of men’.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ruleoflawandaustralianconstitution_lisacrawford.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20170427 Federation Press 21 02 145 AUD 01 131.81818181818181 AUD 945 03 15 9781760021665 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 8628448f-b0c0-48e7-a5c9-823e845da038 BC 1 A01 Caroline Hart 240 10 LAW061000 12 2.1 LAT 93 LAT 01 05 How and why do some country law firms not only survive but prosper while others flounder and fail?\n\nCaroline Hart provides insights for creating a successful country law firm through her interviews with over 40 practice owners who generously share their experiences – good and bad. The remarkable lessons they provide are distilled into seven elements of success.\n\nThe book is comprised of chapters covering critical areas such as governance, leadership, information technology, human resources and succession planning. Each chapter concludes with a Masterclass or Lessons Learnt section which gives readers a framed summary that will help them navigate the challenges and opportunities facing their own practice.\n\nPractical and engaging, this book provides a valuable insight into the real lives of owners of country law firms. It reveals what it takes to ensure profitable practices, maintain productive client relationships, retain highly motivated staff, and ultimately ensure the longevity and success of a country law firm.\n\n<strong>From the Foreword: </strong>\n\n<em>“I commend Dr Hart for undertaking this important work.

The elites, on the other hand, used their legislative powers to halt this march towards liberty, most notably in the Constitution of 1853. \n<P>There were many colourful characters involved in the push for self-government: \n<UL>\n<LI>Charles Harpur, the native-born poet who wrote ‘The Tree of Liberty (A Song for the Future)’; \n<LI>Johann Lhotsky, the revolutionary who spent five years in an Austrian prison; \n<LI>Ben Sutherland, the English upholsterer who formed the first working-class political organisation and edited its newspaper; \n<LI>William A Duncan, the Scots Catholic who created a network of radical intellectuals; · Henry Macdermott, the Irish-born ‘friend of the people’; and \n<LI>Edward J \n<LI>Hawksley, the radical journalist who was part of every democratic campaign from 1840. </LI></UL>\n<P>These characters and more are covered in Irving’s engagingly written and thoroughly researched book. <EM>The Southern Tree of Liberty </EM>highlights the contribution of the democrats to public life and shows how their struggles made possible the democratic advances that followed after 1856.</P>\n<P><EM>I ask no more than “the birthright of a British subject”, namely the privilege of voting on the same grounds as would entitle me to vote in my native land …</EM> Henry Macdermott, 1842</P>\n<P><EM>They had to decide whether they would have the rights of Britons or that vile and bastard democracy which had led to so many evil results in different parts of the world.  ...</EM> James Macarthur, 1842</P>\n<P><EM>… it is a grievance for the working man to be totally unrepresented; to have the nominal form of elective privileges whilst he is legislated for by a class entirely antagonistic to his interests and his claims. ... </EM>Guardian newspaper, 20 July 1844 </P> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/thesoutherntreeofliberty_terryirving.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20061116 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 973 03 15 9781760021955 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 65ccff1e-ab22-400c-9d6a-a33b1e20acbc BZ 1 A01 Mark Leeming 224 10 LAW087000 12 2.1 LNV 93 LNV 01 05 This work explains how statutes underpin and inform the whole of the law of negligence. Although the civil liability legislation has highlighted the foundational role of statutes, in truth this has been the case for many decades. The book shows how throughout the entirety of the law of negligence – including duty, breach, causation, contributory negligence, statutory contribution, proportionate liability and damages – statutes have been responsible for the law as it is now understood and practised. In particular, the law of causation, of damages for mental harm and the immunity of highway authorities are shown to have been deeply informed by statute.\n\nMoreover, the contribution of statutes is demonstrated to be vital, complex and interesting.\n\nThe book’s purpose is both educational and practical. While it will strengthen the reader’s conceptual understanding of the complex ways in which statutes and the common law interact to produce the law of negligence, the book is far from a work of abstract theory. On the contrary, its focus is on the very significant practical consequences that flow from the interaction. As such, it will be of enormous assistance to any practitioner seeking to understand or practise in the area. The coverage is Australia-wide. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/statutoryfoundationsofnegligence_markleeming.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190121 Federation Press 21 02 145 AUD 01 131.81818181818181 AUD 903 03 15 9781760020828 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 22151770-b62f-44c9-91c1-941c781d8949 BZ 1 B01 Heather Roberts 2 B01 James Stellios 3 B01 Michael Coper 208 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 <p>In one of the great contests between State and federal power, the <em>Tasmanian Dam Case</em> pitted the immovable object of Tasmania’s commitment to a massive hydro-electric project against the irresistible force of the Commonwealth’s determination to protect the environment.</p>\n<p>Who would prevail? Was it more important to create jobs and provide cheap power, or to preserve the natural beauty of the Tasmanian wilderness? On whom did the Australian Constitution confer the power to decide this question?</p>\n<p>By the narrowest of majorities, the High Court decided in 1983 that the Commonwealth had the final say, and upheld legislation that prohibited the construction of a dam on the Gordon River below the Franklin.</p>\n<p>Because of the passions aroused by the case, the Court took the unprecedented step of issuing a statement explaining that its job was not to decide whether the proposed dam was a good idea or not, but to determine whether this was a matter of State or federal power. Yet this issue was just as hotly contested. Could any subject be brought within federal power merely by the presence of an international treaty on that subject? Would affirming this proposition destroy the intended balance between State and federal power? Would denying the proposition disable Australia from full participation in international affairs?</p>\n<p>Three decades after the High Court’s decision, these and other questions of law and policy remain of vital importance.

The book also examines some novel questions, such as whether the outcome of the case was inevitable, how similar issues have played out in Canada, and whether better conservation outcomes are more likely to come from the Commonwealth or the States.

Through a broad and detailed examination of the jurisprudence across Australia, USA, New Zealand and Canada, it argues that the Australian preoccupation with ‘tradition’ is a deeply flawed approach. Dr Young points to many technical problems and a raft of unfortunate consequences for Indigenous people. He contends for a fundamental rethink.</p>\n<p>“Dr. Young’s book fills a huge gap in the legal understanding of Indigenous land rights… While his focus is on Australia, the book’s comparative approach extends its relevance to all common law jurisdictions that are inhabited by Indigenous peoples. Everyone who is concerned with Indigenous rights – Indigenous leaders, judges, lawyers, land-claims negotiators, policy makers – will benefit enormously from reading it.” <em>- Professor Kent McNeil </em></p>\n<p>“Dr Young has undertaken a comprehensive analysis of the ‘traditional laws and customs’ focus that dominates the recognition of native title in Australian law – but the importance of his work extends far beyond the legal sphere. In showing how the ‘tradition’ approach is not supported by the weight of legal principle and is out of step with overseas precedent, he opens the way for a reconsideration of how Indigenous rights to land are, and should be, recognised.” <em>- Ambelin Kwaymullina </em></p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/thetroublewithtradition_simonyoung.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20080116 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.63636363636363 AUD 1027 03 15 9781760022402 01 ONIX_NOSEQ d708e2c1-3050-4328-85ca-8a49ff6e47e4 BB 1 B01 Robert Pascoe 464 10 LAW052000 12 2.1 LA 93 LA 01 05 Published in association with the Australian Academy of Law, this collection of papers and speeches draws on the career of one of Australia’s leading jurists, the Hon Robert French AC.\n\nThe book is divided into ten parts, each reflecting an aspect of French’s career such as Indigenous issues, human rights, public law, commercial dispute resolution and the judicial system.

This book provides a vigorous and sustained justification for the Australian position, and demonstrates that the law in the UK has generated more fictions than it was ever thought to abolish. The law of restitution is shown to comprise several fundamentally distinct legal concepts which fill gaps in the law of contract and tort, and which have nothing in common beyond the historical accident that they arose out of the action of <em>indebitatus assumpsit</em>. These are (i) the recovery of non-voluntary payments (by mistake, duress, undue influence, unconscionable dealing and total failure of consideration); (ii) remuneration for goods or services requested by the defendant in circumstances indicating a promise to pay for them; and (iii) the protection of certain facilitative institutions of private law (such as private property and fiduciary relationships). The book staunchly defends the traditional common law approach of analysing legal principles by the empirical method of treating like cases alike, rather than by derivation from supposedly unifying theories. This edition updates the first edition, which was published in 1998, in the light of almost 20 years of case-law and academic debate. It also adds a separate chapter dealing with the history of the law of restitution and why it matters.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/thevarietiesofrestitutionsecondedition_ianjackman.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20170317 Federation Press 21 02 150 AUD 01 136.36363636363635 AUD 1080 03 15 9781760024338 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 724b4096-a86a-411c-9e5a-a8e6bd5e73fe BC 1 A01 Stephen Rowley 2 395 10 LAW047000 12 2.1 LNKW 93 LNSH9 01 05 The Victorian Planning System: Practice, Problems and Prospects is an accessible introduction for all those who use the Victorian planning system, including planners, lawyers, councillors, developers, design professionals and community advocates. It explains key terminology and processes in simple terms and explores how the planning system is used to pursue policy goals. This discussion is contextualised through examination of a variety of planning policy challenges, including housing affordability, activity centre planning, and climate change. This second edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to address changes since 2017. These include the finalised Plan Melbourne 2017-2050, the “Smart Planning” program, integrated Planning Policy Framework, revisions to residential development provisions (including the Better Apartments Design Standards), and the new Environment Protection Act, among others. Other new or heavily revised content includes discussion of planning in growth areas, biodiversity offsetting for native vegetation removal, and Aboriginal heritage. This edition also includes reconceived discussion of decision-making and regulatory design. It reviews the history of planning system reform in Victoria and explores why the system is still not as effective, efficient or transparent as it should be. In response, the book outlines a vision of a new planning paradigm that is more capable of achieving bold policy goals. It is essential reading for all Victorian planning professionals. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/rowley_vicplanningsystem.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20230516 Federation Press 21 02 99 AUD 01 90 AUD 982 03 15 9781925261820 01 ONIX_NOSEQ e615e068-c82b-4778-9fda-564a0b4d9906 BC 1 B01 Andrew Stewart 2 B01 Jim Stanford 3 B01 Tess Hardy 344 10 LAW054000 12 2.1 LNHR 93 LNH 01 05 <p>The persistence of weak wages growth in Australia, at a time when the state of the economy might suggest much better outcomes for workers, has baffled policy makers.</p>\n<p>Andrew Stewart, Jim Stanford and Tess Hardy have drawn together expert analysts from business, universities, think tanks, community organisations and trade unions to answer four pressing questions: What is the wages crisis?

Private and never previously published, they take us into the heart of FDR's Washington through those momentous times and significantly affect our understanding of the wartime relations of the United States and Australia. They vividly illustrate, in addition to the two nations' shared engagement in the war effort, their differences and diverging interests. They take us not only into the diplomatic scene but into the intricate day-to-day business of the State Department, the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs of Staff as these impinged on Australia's engagement in the war. Philip Ayres, who is also Dixon's biographer, has provided a detailed commentary on the daily diary entries and a substantial introduction.

Shaking off the vestiges of two decades of conservative rule, Gough Whitlam brought new ideas, new policies and new people to the task of governing.</p>\n<p>Bursting with energy and expectation, the Labor government led a reform revolution in many areas, from education and health to the environment and foreign policy. But alongside the great achievements were great failures and, ultimately, tragedy when the government was dismissed.</p>\n<p>For the first time, Gough Whitlam, ministers, advisers, public servants, party and union insiders provide a unique account of this turbulent period in Australian politics. The candid views of insiders are balanced with analysis from journalists and academics. They reveal what worked and what didn’t, and shed light on the personalities driving the engines of change.</p>\n<p>It includes Whitlam’s “valedictory” message to the nation – his last public statement before his death in 2014. This revised edition includes a new preface by the editor, Troy Bramston, reflecting on Whitlam’s death, his final years and two decades of conversations with him.</p>\n<p>The book also includes new research and previously unpublished photos and archival documents. <em>The Whitlam Legacy</em> provides the definitive account of the government that changed Australia forever.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>* Click here for information about <a href="../bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781862879034"><em>The Whitlam Legacy </em>2013 with DUST JACKET </a></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: small;">__________________________________________________</span></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Whitlam Legacy in the Paper…</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gough's first day: let the fight begin <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Media/Bramston_Gough's_first_day_(Cabinet_Notebooks)_3_4Oct2015.pdf">Read full article...</a></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A PM with his gaze firmly on the future <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Media/Bramston_A_PM_with_his_gaze_firmly_on_the_future_(Gough_Whitlam)_3_4Oct2015.pdf">Read full article...</a></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>What the mandarins made of Gough Whitlam's government <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Media/Bramston_What_the_mandarins_made_of_Gough_Whitlam's_government_5Oct2015.pdf">Read full article...</a></li>\n</ul> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/thewhitlamlegacy_troybramston.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20131125 Federation Press 21 02 39.95 AUD 01 36.31818181818182 AUD 431 03 15 9781862874756 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0e919dc8-2b21-48aa-b5a2-020fcf2a4d66 BC 1 A01 Barbara Pocock 304 10 SOC026000 12 2.1 JHBL 93 JHB 01 05 Longer working hours, insecure jobs, child care, declining birth rates, parental leave, the 'mummy track', the success or failure of feminism - the levels of passion, vitriol, despair and guilt these subjects engender attest to the importance Australians place on them, and rightly so. Their effects go beyond how we feel: they affect vital economic and demographic trends.\n\n<i>The Work/Life Collision</i>, grounded in thorough quantitative and qualitative research, analyses how these factors affect each other, in particular the collision of work and care and its implications for how we live.\n\nPocock demonstrates how the existing 'work/care' regime that shapes how we live and work has high social costs - for mothers, fathers, families and those who want to be both workers and carers. She weighs the hidden costs of how we live and work now - costs that can be measured in bedrooms, kitchens, workplaces and streetscapes - and in our declining birth rate and embedded gender inequality.\n\n<i>The Work/Life Collision</i> goes further than just explaining our growing anxiety about quality of life, despite the evidence of unmatched material wealth. Pocock proposes ways in which a new 'work/care' regime can be built, through:\n<ul type="CIRCLE">\n <li>the redistribution of working hours</li>\n <li>the rehabilitation of degraded and insecure part-time jobs</li>\n <li>a new system of leave from paid work, and</li>\n <li>better support for mothers, fathers and all kinds of dependants.</li>\n</ul>\nShe guides us through the real experiences of Australian households and points to a uniquely Australian solution to a fairer world. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/theworklifecollision_barbarapocock.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20030602 Federation Press 21 02 39.95 AUD 01 36.31818181818182 AUD 5361 03 15 9781862876002 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 63a5c800-b447-4051-93a0-7cdab7d218f1 BC 1 B01 Troy Bramston 336 10 POL055000 12 2.1 JP 93 JP 01 05 <p>For over a decade, from 1976 to 1986, Neville Wran led the most successful Labor Government in New South Wales history.</p>\n<p>Now, for the first time, key ministers, advisers, public servants, party and union officials, and Wran himself, provide a critical retrospective on the era and its legacy today.</p>\n<p>It was an era of unrivalled electoral success - four electoral victories were won, including two ‘Wranslides’ in 1978 and 1981.

It gives first-hand insight into what Chinese are really thinking when conducting business. Zhang explains, in detail, common Chinese behaviours that may seem odd to non-Chinese. She brings a wealth of personal experience in contemporary Chinese business investment and management, sharing experiences and observations to provide strategies for overcoming such cultural barriers.</p>\n<p>The book offers insights into China and knowledge that you could not find by watching news channels or searching the internet. It discusses the important aspects of the intricate inner workings of the Chinese mindset and clarifies areas that are often perceived to be vague or confusing. It provides guidance on practical matters such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>how to ensure spoken communications are being interpreted accurately</li>\n<li>understanding the importance of “face” (<em>mianzi</em>), and giving and receiving <em>mianzi</em> appropriately</li>\n<li>networking effectively among the Chinese</li>\n<li>understanding Chinese work cultures, identifying the real Chinese decision-makers, improving negotiations, and gaining the best out of Chinese staff</li>\n<li>knowing when a Chinese ‘yes’ actually means ‘yes’, instead of ‘maybe’ or ‘no’</li>\n<li>Chinese approaches to the law and contracts, dispute resolution, intellectual property, investment and partnerships</li>\n<li>Chinese styles of leadership.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This book follows on from the bestseller, <em>Think Like Chinese</em>, and has extra up-to-date case studies on Chinese businesses and business leaders, as well as a new chapter on Chinese innovation and creativity. It brings a more enhanced understanding of China (and the world at large), and reflects the author’s changing perceptions since the publication of the previous book. While still explaining the unique aspects of how Chinese mind works, the focus is more about stimulating an openness and acceptance of differences, rather than encouraging the meaningless war of “who is right and who is wrong”.</p>\n<p><em>Think More Like Chinese</em> is a must for anyone who wants a better understanding of Chinese culture and how to apply this knowledge in their China dealings, whether doing business with Chinese suppliers or customers, working with a Chinese partner or managing Chinese employees. It is also written for people who are simply fascinated about China, and want to know more about the Chinese people, their history, their current emergence as an economic powerhouse and their increasing significance in the world’s future.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkmorelikechinese_zhanghaihua.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20170703 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 925 03 15 9781760021450 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 249673d8-af80-4802-a3f6-9e0b215ab7ae BC 1 B01 Klaus Serr 4 304 10 SOC045000 12 2.1 JFFA 93 JBFD 01 05 <em>Thinking about Poverty</em> provides a critical understanding of poverty in the global context: how global structures affect people in Australia and the way policy-makers respond. In the midst of waning public interest, the book fills an important gap in the current public discourse on poverty and covers:\n<ul>\n <li>the extent of poverty and unprecedented wealth and income inequality across the world, including Australia;</li>\n <li>why neoliberalism remains at the heart of mainstream global discourse and continues to shape public policy;</li>\n <li>how a deregulated and speculative global economy creates massive private and public debt, undermining the real economy, employment and wage growth;</li>\n <li>why neoliberalism still influences national governments to implement further privatisation, deregulation and other neoliberal policies which implement corporate tax cuts, and re-distribution of wealth and income upwards, while at the same time reducing welfare provisions that exacerbate poverty, social disadvantage and inequality;</li>\n <li>the pivotal role and importance of the welfare state to alleviate some of the excesses of neoliberal capitalism;</li>\n <li>individualised and structural theories that try to explain the existence of poverty;</li>\n <li>mainstream and alternative poverty definitions which are not based solely on economic measurements; and</li>\n <li>the impact of public policy on various groups, including Aboriginal people, the unemployed, the mentally ill, older Australians, people with disabilities, women and families.</li>\n</ul>\n<em>Thinking about Poverty</em> argues that the quality of any society must be judged by its values and norms; that without a just and decent moral code, humanity is unlikely to be able to survive the social, economic and political challenges ahead. Having large numbers living in deprived conditions, while a few live in extraordinary luxury is clearly not just – nor is it morally defensible. The book therefore concludes that political leaders are liable to lose the legitimacy to govern if they continue the current course of governing for a chosen few rather than for the overall common good.\n\nNot just a critique, <em>Thinking about Poverty</em> puts forward a range of policy strategies and alternative economic thinking. With contributions from academics and practitioners, the book makes a contemporary and accessible contribution to discourse about poverty in Australia.\n\n<strong>Contributors:</strong> Robert Bland, Andreas Cebulla, Benno Engels, Sue Green, Paul Harris, Ilan Katz, Helen Kimberley, Sonia Martin, Ruth Phillips, Eric Porter, David Rose, Klaus Serr, Karen Soldatic, Ben Spies-Butcher, Frank Stilwell and David Sykes. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkingaboutpoverty_klausserr.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20171030 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 881 03 15 9781760020583 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 04f643c5-082f-46fa-8549-8979b20fce7f BZ 1 A01 Ian Hancock 432 10 BIO020000 12 2.1 BGH 93 DNB 01 05 <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Jiawei Shen</strong> (b.1948, China, from 1989, Australia)</span><br /><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tom Hughes QC</span></em><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">2004</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Oil on canvas, 167 x 167 cm</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Collection of New South Wales Bar Association</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Purchased 2004</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">© Jiawei Shen</span></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">_____________________________________</span></p>\n<p>For more than thirty years, Tom Hughes, a scion of a notable Sydney family of high achievers, was one of Australia’s top barristers, renowned, respected and sometimes feared for his dominating presence in the courtroom. Equally at home in all jurisdictions, his theatrical style, command of language and forensic skills filled public galleries, exposed witnesses, persuaded juries and ensured that judges paid attention. An icon of the Sydney and Australian Bar, he appeared in a raft of celebrated cases, became the subject of many media profiles and was, from the 1970s to the 1990s, the country’s most expensive advocate.</p>\n<p>Hughes has also been a wartime pilot, a politician, an activist federal Attorney-General, a grazier, and a racehorse owner. He survived a broken marriage, a spiteful sacking from ministerial office and a prolonged though not permanent loss of an inherited Catholic faith. He endured years of frustration before finding the right partner to replicate the perfect marriage of his beloved parents. Even in dark times, however, a thorough professional and a prodigious worker, Hughes remained focused on his first love, the law, always upholding its traditions and processes.</p>\n<p>In addition to published material, the book draws on a huge trove of personal records, including fee books, intimate diaries, autobiographical jottings and private correspondence, supplemented by interviews with Hughes, his family, friends and colleagues. Using these sources, the book provides insights into a many-sided character - telling the story of how Hughes and his immediate forebears embraced more of their English than their Irish heritage while becoming distinctively Australian.

The second edition takes a fresh look at modern treaty-making between Indigenous peoples and governments in Australia. Exploring the why, where and how of treaty, it concludes by offering seven strategies for achieving treaty.\n\nA number of significant developments have occurred since the publication of the first edition. In Australia, key events include the emergence of State and Territory driven treaty processes, the negotiation and finalisation of the Noongar Settlement, and the delivery of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. International and comparative standards also continue to evolve. In 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, while Canada and New Zealand continue to negotiate a range of claims involving land and other points of difference.\n\n<em>Treaty </em>presents readers with everything they need to know about treaties, from the basic question of “what is a treaty?” to “how have other countries negotiated treaties?”. It challenges the reader to question whether Australia should go down the treaty path; a path that could lead to political settlements that empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and address the injustices at the heart of the Australian state.\n\n  04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/treaty_williams_hobbs.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20200612 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 904 03 15 9781760020835 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 892b14eb-d0c7-4c05-b407-2fa6c65547ff BC 1 A01 Michael Mansell 320 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 <p>If governments of Australia agreed to share power with Aboriginal people, what would the result be? And if Australia was to have a settlement or a treaty with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, what would a treaty deal with and how would a treaty affect the general public? Is there anything beyond a treaty?</p>\n<p><em>Treaty and Statehood: Aboriginal Self-determination</em>, by Aboriginal author Michael Mansell, answers these questions and more. Mansell examines the New Zealand model of designated Māori seats and applies the idea to comprise 12 Indigenous Senators in Australia. He argues designated seats and a treaty are constitutionally permissible, and details the possible content for a treaty. He discusses the meaning of self-determination and its limitations, and also thoroughly reviews Aboriginal sovereignty and its function in a modern Australia.</p>\n<p>The book critically examines the legality of designated seats, treaty, sharing of power and autonomous communities. The legal examination is broken down into easy-to-understand language. Ultimately, Mansell looks at whether justice can best be served to Aboriginal people through a new State of Australia.</p>\n<p>This new idea of a seventh State – or First State for the First peoples, as the author prefers – is constitutionally legal. Its practicality is also critically examined, including the rights each Aboriginal community or ‘nation’ would have under statehood.</p>\n<p>This is a book that answers our query about what reconciliation ultimately means and how it can be achieved.</p>\n<p><em>"His strongly expressed opinions are always sincere and soundly argued: they may appear at first provocative or over-idealistic, but just wait; in years to come they are likely to be seen as a prescient articulation of a way forward for securing the dignity of our first Australians."</em> – Geoffrey Robertson QC, from the Foreword</p>\n<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">In the media…</span></strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>An Indigenous seventh state: a radical idea from a constitutional conservative, Stan Grant, <em> ABC News, </em>3 Jun 2017<a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-03/an-indigenous-seventh-state-radical-and-constitutional/8585078"> Read article...</a></li>\n<li>New book examines ‘justice’, Jillian Mundy, <em> The Koori Mail, </em>25 January 2017 <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Media/Mansell_KooriMail_25Jan17.pdf">Read article...</a></li>\n<li>Aboriginal lawyer and activist Michael Mansell has written a new book, Holly Monery, <em>The Examiner</em>, 28 December 2016 <a href="http://www.examiner.com.au/story/4374816/book-talks-self-determination/"> Read article...</a></li>\n<li>Mansell draws new boundaries for Aboriginal state, Wendy Caccetta, <em>National Indigenous Times</em>, 21 December 2016 <a href="https://nit.com.au/mansell-draws-new-boundaries-for-aboriginal-state/"> Read article...</a></li>\n<li>Treaty’s benefits, Opinion Letter by Michael Mansell, <em> The Australian, </em>19 December 2016 <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Media/Mansell_OpinionLetter_The_Australian_20Dec2016.pdf">Read letter...</a></li>\n<li>Indigenous spending to double, warns Michael Mansell, Stephen Fitzpatrick, <em> The Australian, </em>16 December 2016 <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Media/Mansell_The_Australian_16Dec16.pdf">Read article...</a></li>\n<li>Michael Mansell on <em>Sky News, The Bolt Report</em> with Andrew Bolt, 15 December 2016<a href="http://16673.mc.tritondigital.com/WHOOSHKAA_1013/media-session/f700235c-4770-42a8-9ac2-3ff6c1931318/podcasts/podcast_1013/podcast_media/8d8d1e-1926-1512-06-bolt-report-thurs-seg-1.mp3?dist=whooshkaa-webplayer-download"> Listen to interview...</a></li>\n<li>Australia should create seventh state run by Indigenous people, lawyer Michael Mansell says, Dan Conifer, <em> ABC News, </em>14 December 2016 <a href="../marketing/SiteResources/Media/Mansell_ABC_NEWS_14Dec16.pdf">Read article...</a></li>\n</ul> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/treatyandstatehood_michaelmansell.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20161214 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 1050 03 15 9781760023041 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 36c8ff43-d7b7-46ca-806f-61fe4299c666 BC 1 B01 Alison Whittaker 2 B01 Harry Hobbs 3 B01 Lindon Coombes 274 10 LAW110000 12 2.1 LA 93 LA 01 05 This continent was colonised without consent. No treaty was signed at first contact or in the years thereafter. Australia is a nation state on shaky ground, one of few without a treaty with Indigenous people.\n\nHowever, recently, Victoria, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland have committed to entering treaty processes with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations whose lands fall within their borders. This is the first time in Australian history that any government has opened a treaty process. While it is momentous, it is not without its challenges given the historical absence of a treaty.\n\nIn this edited collection, Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and policy-makers from Australia and New Zealand engage with the legal, historical and political dimensions of treaty-making in Australia. These considered and nuanced contributions provide a roadmap for how to develop a legal artifice and treaty relationship that delivers justice. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/TM_front_cover_1080h.png 01 The Federation Press 20210628 Federation Press 21 02 59.95 AUD 01 54.5 AUD 623 03 15 9781862877061 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0f4ad4ba-0562-47d5-8b6b-30a585d8d9b6 BZ 1 B01 Robin Creyke 288 10 LAW051000 12 2.1 LNAA 93 LB 01 05 Tribunals are a flexible method of adjudication that hear disputes between citizens and by citizens against government.

Earlier editions have been praised for their utility both as a text for students and as for the sophisticated analysis of decisions they provide for practitioners.\n\nThe text is logically structured, setting out the conceptual foundations of trusts before dealing with all of the key topics including express trusts, charitable trusts, voluntary trusts, resulting trusts, constructive trusts, writing and related requirements, the rules against perpetuities and accumulations, life tenants, remaindermen, tracing, and the duties, liabilities, powers, rights, appointments, retirement and removal of trustees.\n\nProfessor Denis Ong’s meticulous analysis of both the facts and reasoning of key judgments identifies conceptual anomalies in the law, and interprets and at times critiques the relevant Australian and UK authorities. Each chapter finishes with a summary of relevant legal principles, making the book unusually accessible.\n\nAmong the important decisions included in this new edition:\n<ul>\n <li>In <em>Korda v Australian Executor Trustees (SA) Limited</em> (2015) 255 CLR 62, the High Court stated the requirements for establishing an intention to create an express trust.</li>\n <li>In <em>Australian Financial Services and Leasing Pty Limited v Hills Industries Limited</em> (2014) 253 CLR 560, the High Court clarified the defence of a bona fide change of position.</li>\n <li>In <em>Fischer v Nemeske Pty Ltd</em> (2016) 257 CLR 615, the High Court addressed the distinction between trust and debt.</li>\n <li>The Federal Court in <em>Jones v Matrix Partners Pty Ltd</em> [2018] FCAFC 40 and in <em>Lane v Deputy Commissioner of Taxation</em> [2017] FCA 953, and, on the other hand, the Victorian Court of Appeal in <em>Commonwealth v Byrnes</em> [2018] VSCA 41, disagreed on the controversial ramifications of the trustee’s right of indemnity.</li>\n <li>In <em>Hasler v Singtel Optus Pty Ltd</em> (2014) 87 NSWLR 609 and <em>Fistar v Riverwood Legion and Community Club Ltd</em> (2016) 91 NSWLR 732 the New South Wales Court of Appeal examined the volatile doctrine of accessory liability in equity.</li>\n</ul> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/trustslawinaustralia_dennisong.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20181121 Federation Press 21 02 145 AUD 01 131.81818181818181 AUD 807 03 15 9781862879539 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 501e3771-9de4-49f1-9923-c4c9fba223be BC 1 A01 Noel Preston 4 240 10 PHI005000 12 2.1 LATC 93 QDTQ 01 05 <p class="Pa7">We encounter ethical challenges on a day to day basis in matters that involve what we call ethical values.

The latest judicial decisions and legislative amendments have been included, accompanied by insightful commentary and analysis to explain and evaluate these developments in the law. This includes the evolution in the judicial interpretation of the meaning of ‘significant probative value’ in cases involving tendency evidence, such as the High Court decisions in <em>Hughes v R</em>, <em>Bauer v R</em>, and <em>McPhillamy v R</em>. The most recent legislative changes to the admissibility thresholds for tendency and coincidence evidence have been incorporated with reflective commentary on the parliamentary intent and recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Important developments in weighing factors under s 138 (<em>Kadir v R</em>; <em>Grech v R</em>) and determining the competence and proper questioning of child witnesses (<em>A2 v R</em>) have been thoughtfully examined.\n\nThe case extracts throughout this edition have been selected to provide a useful mix of seminal and enduring statements of evidentiary principles, together with more recent decisions highlighting current judicial interpretations of the most frequently considered provisions of the uniform Evidence Acts. The chapter order closely reflects the structure of the uniform Evidence Acts in all jurisdictions and the incremental topic sequencing of most university courses in evidence law.\n\nUniform Evidence Law provides an essential toolkit for both the student and practitioner of evidence law. It has been carefully designed to enhance understanding of the practical operation of evidence law in the various federal and state litigation contexts in which it arises. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/uniformevidencelaw_anderson-4.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20210131 Federation Press 21 02 125 AUD 01 113.63636363636363 AUD 719 03 15 9781862878266 01 ONIX_NOSEQ a51689ec-1b00-41d2-acf1-b9bed9255c64 BC 1 B01 Morgan Brigg 2 B01 Sarah Maddison 256 10 SOC062000 12 2.1 JFSL9 93 JBSL11 01 05 <p><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Cover artwork : <strong>The Way of the Walawalarra (Two Women Ancestors): Kapululangu Women's Two Way Governance </strong><br />Courtesy and Copyright : Artists of Kapululangu Aboriginal Women’s Association of Balgo.</span></p>\n<p>Debates in contemporary Indigenous affairs rarely question the settler-state framework and its accompanying institutions and processes. This silence persists despite Indigenous efforts to engage the settler-colonial order through repeated calls for treaties, for constitutional change, for self-determination and for better representation on the national political stage. These Indigenous efforts to enter into dialogue with mainstream Australia have thus far received little or no reciprocal movement from the settler state and its associated institutions.</p>\n<p>To advance Indigenous affairs governance and develop a dialogue for improved Settler-Indigenous relations in the 21st century requires unsettling the silences around the settler-state and its institutions and processes. Instead, we need dialogue and exchange between Indigenous and Settler orders. Only by embracing the challenges of governance in an open an unapologetic way will we be able to address the anxieties associated with Indigenous governance and contribute to healing the persistent sore of the wider Indigenous-Settler relations that continue to trouble the Australian community.</p>\n<p>To address these challenges, <em>Unsettling the Setter State </em>documents and analyses contemporary Indigenous efforts to engage with the settler state and its institutions.

The book comprehensively annotates the unified military compensation scheme introduced by the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (MRCA) and its predecessor veterans’ entitlements scheme under the Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1986 (VEA). The 4th edition covers all of the recent major reports into the veterans’ law and military compensation system and includes annotations of all relevant High Court, Federal Court and Administrative Appeals Tribunal decisions on the two Acts. The book is an important reference for all those assisting veterans to obtain their entitlements to the pensions and benefits available to those who have served their country, be they ex-service organisations, Tribunal members, legal practitioners or Departmental officials. Highlights of the 4th edition include: • an introductory contextual chapter briefly discussing the history of military compensation in Australia, the interaction of the various Acts comprising the scheme, and current moves for reform of this complex legislative environment; • annotations and commentary on issues under the MRCA, including liability for compensation, incapacity, permanent impairment, death benefits and transitional arrangements for previous schemes; • comprehensive annotations of complex issues under the VEA, including qualifying service, special rate of pension, GARP, allowances, standards of proof and review of decisions; • a section of the book discussing the cases on the application of Statements of Principles under the two Acts; • the interaction between the VEA and the MRCA; and • appendices which include discussion of defence honours and awards and war grave eligibility, an amendment history of the MRCA and of the VEA, an index of MRCA legislative instruments, and section-by-section comparisons identifying provisions common to the Acts comprising the military compensation scheme. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Creyke-Sutherland-Veterans-4e-LR.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20240412 Federation Press 21 02 160 AUD 01 145.46 AUD 991 03 15 9781760022112 01 ONIX_NOSEQ c0d8e360-fe0d-438e-93b1-2e474bc3b685 BZ 1 B01 Bruce Debelle 320 10 HIS004000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 NHM 01 05 Sir Victor Windeyer achieved distinction as a lawyer, a legal historian and soldier.

He was a Justice of the High Court of Australia from 1959 to 1972.\n\nThis collection of his speeches and papers illustrates his talents in each of those three aspects of his distinguished life.\n\nIt includes his moving address to the men of the 20th Brigade after the Battle of El Alamein, a comprehensive account of the establishment of the rule of law in Australia, his stirring eulogy to Field Marshall Montgomery, a history of responsible government in New South Wales, an entertaining history of law dictionaries from the 16th century to modern times, his comprehensive opinion given to Justice RM Hope of the extent to which the Commonwealth Defence Forces might be called out in times of civil unrest in a State, and fascinating accounts of some aspects of the history of his family.\n\nThroughout these speeches and papers the reader is struck by the depth and breadth of Sir Victor’s knowledge of the law, of legal history and military history as well as by his compassion for his fellow man. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/victorwindeyerslegacy_brucedebelle.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20190813 Federation Press 21 02 120 AUD 01 109.09090909090908 AUD 966 03 15 9781760021870 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 0c487bb6-5294-422a-8278-76bf2763cdd2 BC 1 A01 Nadia Deltondo 2 A01 Richard Fox 640 10 LAW026000 12 2.1 LNF 93 LNF 01 05 <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Cover image: <strong>The Supreme Court of Victoria </strong> ©\nReproduced with permission of the artist, Simon Fieldhouse\n<a href="http://www.simonfieldhouse.com/">www.simonfieldhouse.com</a></span>\n\nThe 2019 edition of this indispensable work offers a comprehensive overview of the law governing the procedures for prosecuting offenders against commonwealth and state law in Victoria in what has become an increasingly detailed and complex component of criminal justice.

Most of the effort will focus on the Murray-Darling Basin. \n<P>In this book Daniel Connell explains why there is a crisis in the Murray Darling. He highlights the disastrous consequences of a century of fitful, reluctant “co-operation” between the six governments responsible for the region. \n<P>Connell argues that a new institutional system is essential – but a Commonwealth takeover is not the best answer. Instead, the Commonwealth government should use its constitutional and financial power to force the States to adopt national policies – and stick to them, whatever the local politics. The States would continue to play a substantial role but the controls would be tighter, the framework more comprehensive. \n<P>He also shows how the National Water Initiative, the great blueprint for water reform, has stalled with many of its most important recommendations ignored. \n<P>So far the public debate about the future of the Murray Darling Basin has concentrated on new technical projects and increased water trading. Connell argues that unless institutional change is given priority, hundreds of millions of dollars of annual investment will be frittered away – and the crisis will continue. </P> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/waterpoliticsinthemurraydarlingbasin_danielconnell.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20070221 Federation Press 21 02 49.95 AUD 01 45.409090909090907 AUD 856 03 15 9781760020293 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 685bc932-18f9-4464-8a1d-67291857cb47 BC 1 A01 Martin Vranken 192 10 LAW060000 12 2.1 LAZ 93 LAZ 01 05 <p>The rule of law constitutes the hallmark of contemporary Western society.

A first Part provides various building blocks for a discussion of ‘the law in action’ in the second and main Part of the book.

The proofing of judgments before publication is one of the most important of the many jobs they will be asked to do. It is also one of the most difficult. And yet the associate might have little or no experience in this task, and is likely to receive little, if any, training. This book exists to fill that gap. Proofing isn’t just reading the judgment. It requires a particular mindset. It calls for focus and concentration, and attention to detail. And you have to know what you are looking for. This book highlights techniques for proofing a judgment effectively, things to watch out for, and traps that are easy to fall into. It also identifies many types of structural errors and ambiguities that appear frequently in judgments, and answers citation questions that won’t necessarily be addressed by the court style guide. You will never look at the word “it” in the same way again. The author is uniquely positioned to write this book, having worked closely with a generation of associates to High Court judges. In a sense, the book is a distillation of all of the conversations he has had, and the questions he has most frequently found himself answering, over that time. Although the book is primarily addressed to judges’ associates, it will also be an invaluable resource for administrative decision-makers, arbitrators, barristers, law academics, and anybody who is involved in legal writing or editing. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Website_Emmerson.jpg 01 Federation Press 20230831 Federation Press 21 02 69.95 AUD 01 63.59 AUD 751 03 15 9781862878785 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 2bd2bf88-aa96-479d-83ec-a3315b22c7d3 BC 1 A01 Jim Macken 80 10 POL055000 12 2.1 JP 93 JP 01 05 <p>Jim Macken’s latest book is a sequel to <em>Between a Death and a Difficult Birth</em>. Both analyse the effects of the cultural shifts of the late 1960s on the labour movement. <em>What is to be Done </em>takes the debate a step further by suggesting solutions to the decline in membership and support for the trade union movement and the ALP.</p>\n<p>The Faulkner Report of 2010 on the decline in the political fortunes of the ALP calls for root and branch reform of the party. Macken’s book looks at possible solutions to the decline in union membership as well. He suggests a return to first principles to govern recruitment and retention of members to both the party and the union movement. He is particularly scathing at the ‘top down’ government of both institutions.</p>\n<p>His solutions will not please factional leaders of the unions or the party and, in this regard, he supports the condemnation of factionalism in the Faulkner Report. There is no doubt that this short book will promote heated debate in the ranks of the labour movement but few will be found to disagree with his historic study of developments nor the logic of his case for dramatic change in the structures of the union movement and the ALP.</p> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/whatistobedone_jimmacken.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20120515 Federation Press 21 02 16.95 AUD 01 15.409090909090907 AUD 882 03 15 9781760020590 01 ONIX_NOSEQ dbad8aa6-3c31-4bb5-97eb-12a1303567a7 BC 1 B01 Clare Delaney 2 B01 Lyn Gillam 3 B01 Rosalind McDougall 272 10 LAW046000 12 2.1 LNTJ 93 LNTJ 01 05 <p>In paediatrics, clinicians and parents sometimes disagree about the appropriate medical treatment for a child.

Drawing upon 107 interviews conducted with rurally located employees and employers about their experiences and observations of sexual harassment at work, it shines a light upon a phenomenon largely hidden or minimised by silence, distance and an atmosphere of ‘saturated masculinity’. The book seeks to give voice to the ‘whispers from the bush’ by exploring themes such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the impact of male dominance and mateship on the nature and prevalence of sexual harassment within the rural workplace;</li>\n<li>the complex survival behaviours adopted by many rural women in response to sexual harassment as it occurs – most surprisingly, extending to women blaming women;</li>\n<li>rural employee and employer attitudes towards the disclosure of sexual harassment; and</li>\n<li>the limited reach and effectiveness of laws against sexual harassment in rural Australia.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The book concludes by making practical recommendations for the commencement of national dialogue about sexual harassment in rural Australia, towards a cultural adoption of zero-tolerance.</p>\n<hr>\n<p><em><strong>Dr Skye Saunders in the news...</strong></em></p>\n<ul>\n<li>‘The blokes were pissing on my boots’: MTR launches new book exposing workplace harassment of rural women, <em> Melinda Tankard Reist blog</em>, 20 March 2016<a href="http://melindatankardreist.com/2016/03/the-blokes-were-pissing-on-my-boots-mtr-launches-new-book-exposing-workplace-harassment-of-rural-women/"> Read full article...</a></li>\n<li>Women feel like intruders – new book reveals extent of sexual harassment in the rural workplace, <em> ANU College of Law News</em>, 10 March 2016<a href="https://law.anu.edu.au/news/law/women-feel-intruders-%E2%80%93-new-book-reveals-extent-sexual-harassment-rural-workplace"> Read full article...</a></li>\n<li>Fiona Nash’s ‘I’m a girl’ suggests you can’t be taken seriously, <em>The Australian</em>, 18 February 2016<a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/fiona-nashs-im-a-girl-suggests-you-cant-be-taken-seriously/news-story/054d00ec39f12a9a0e37d3f6f555d26a"> Read full article...</a></li>\n<li>ANU study finds most women working in remote areas subject to sexual harassment, <em>ABC Rural</em>, 8 May 2015<a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-05-08/remote-sexual-harrassment/6454760"> Read full article/Listen to Interview...</a></li>\n<li>Research reveals culture of sexual harassment in rural workplaces , <em>Central Western Daily</em>, 27 April 2015<a href="http://www.centralwesterndaily.com.au/story/3037248/research-reveals-culture-of-sexual-harassment-in-rural-workplaces/?cs=103"> Read full article...</a></li>\n<li>Rural Australia's sexual harassment 'epidemic', <em>ABC Radio National, Bush Telegraph</em>, 5 November 2013<a href="http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/bushtelegraph/sexual-harassment/5070884"> Read full article/Listen to Interview...</a></li>\n</ul> 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/whispersfromthebush_skyesaunders.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20151202 Federation Press 21 02 39.95 AUD 01 36.31818181818182 AUD 741 03 15 9781862878501 01 ONIX_NOSEQ fbaa4af3-0842-47de-a0be-2f5f9050f58c BC 1 B01 Joe Isaac 2 B01 Keith Hancock 3 B01 Marian Baird 256 10 LAW054000 12 2.1 LNHR 93 LNH 01 05 <p>With significant regulatory, social and economic change occurring in Australia and in other countries, a new agenda for employment relations is needed.

The book explains the origins of contemporary Australian work health and safety legal regulation, analyses the provisions of the work health and safety statutes; outlines practical issues, including potential difficulties in their application; and makes proposals for law reform. The Model Act, which seeks to harmonise work health and safety regulation in Australia, has been enacted by seven Australian jurisdictions, with an eighth adoption imminent. Not all the adopted WHS Acts are the same – each has provisions that deviate from the Model Act.

In that time the High Court has handed down a range of important decisions transforming, extending and developing existing constitutional law principles. The 7th edition of the book, by Professor James Stellios, contains analysis and critique of the High Court’s jurisprudence over that period. Revisions have been made to almost all chapters to update the existing law. The most significant revisions relate to: The new developments on the implied freedom of political communication, including the adoption of structured proportionality; The alignment of the intercourse and trade and commerce limbs of s 92 in the context of border closures to address the COVID-19 pandemic, and the acceptance of structured proportionality in that context; The acceptance of a reciprocal intergovernmental immunities doctrine; The High Court’s continuing development of Chapter III principles; The interpretive method of the Court, including in cases on dual citizenship; and The renewed interest in principles of characterisation, particularly in relation to the aliens power and incidental power. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ZinesStellios-front-cover-updated-jpeg-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20220829 Federation Press 21 02 195 AUD 01 177.28 AUD 1123 03 15 9781760025649 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f667a281-7d3d-44d3-bb1c-d0ad92f2cf81 BZ 1 B01 Nicholas Petrie 2 B01 Julian R Murphy 336 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 Scholarship on criminal law and public law rarely considers the relation between these two fields. This book, featuring contributions from a number of leading practitioners and academics, seeks to redress this gap in the scholarship, and by doing so develop a richer understanding of each of the fields of criminal law and public law. The book explores its subjects by both overview chapters and granular case studies of the points of overlap, intersection and inconsistency between public and criminal law. The collection is divided into three parts, from the general to the particular. Part I contains an introductory or overview chapter and then three chapters on the constitutional dimensions to the subject. Part II focuses on various institutions in the practice of criminal and public law, including prosecutors and anti-corruption commissions. Part III looks at some current and evolving issues in this area intersecting with human rights, including racial discrimination, whistleblowing and public protest. The chapters in the collection remind the reader that there are live disputes about the boundaries of each of the fields of criminal and public law. Rather than being completely distinct fields, a number of the contributors reveal doctrinal overlap between criminal and public law. In other cases, the norms of public law in some sense ‘trump’ those of criminal law, bringing them into inconsistency. In yet other cases, there are obvious intersections between criminal and public law, although each remains distinct. The book includes a foreword by the Hon Geoffrey Nettle AC KC. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/FP-HB-Petrie-Murphy-Public-Criminal-Law-FC.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20251001 Federation Press 21 02 190 AUD 01 172.73 AUD 1111 03 15 9781760025373 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 3e61b0ec-ddcd-4017-bbf9-86ca4a5b9950 BZ 1 B01 Dr Paul Vout KC 832 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 This book contains a selection of papers and speeches by Michael Kirby covering half a century – from 1975 to 2025. He reflects on his journey from childhood in 1950s Australia and through law school and legal practice to his work as inaugural President of the Australian Law Reform Commission, President of the Court of Appeal of NSW and Justice of the High Court of Australia along with other posts. He has advanced the equality principle for women and all minority groups, including gays and other sexual minorities. In a number of the papers, Michael Kirby examines his struggle with his sexuality and society’s evolving view on the subject. He offers an essay on his partner of fifty-five years, Johan van Vloten. The topics of the papers and speeches included here reveal Michael Kirby’s wide range of interests and the changes that Australia and the world has undergone, to which he has contributed. How would computers, just emerging in the 1970s, affect privacy and society generally? Should Australia recognise First Nations Peoples’ customary law? How would the globalisation of media affect judicial independence? Does the Australian Constitution condone indefinite detention? Michael Kirby’s insights and views are always insightful, occasionally prophetic and, although in a minority at the time, sometimes vindicated by what followed. There will be something in this collection for most readers: not only lawyers, fans of autobiography, or members of the LGBTIQ community. This collection is as much a journey through the late modern history of Australia and the world as it has progressed, often urged on by an impatient Michael Kirby. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/front-cover-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20251115 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD 1127 03 15 9781760025755 01 ONIX_NOSEQ d5efcaf0-1574-4960-9e08-3619ba646f86 BC 1 B01 Ebony Birchall 10 LAW012000 12 2.1 LNA 93 LNAC 01 05 Strategic Human Rights Litigation in Australia is the first book to examine the theory and practice of promoting human rights through Australian courts. Although Australian lawyers rarely label their work as ‘strategic human rights litigation’, the approach is well known to those working for social justice. This form of lawyering is distinguished by its orientation toward promoting human rights and harnessing litigation’s potential to influence law, policy, public discourse, and broader advocacy campaigns. This edited collection brings together contributions from leading Australian human rights experts. The first half of the book covers topics related to designing and running strategic litigation. The second half offers thematic chapters on areas such as First Nations rights, climate change, refugee protection and police accountability. The book highlights both the opportunities and the limitations of pursuing systemic reform through the courts. It traces how litigation can amplify community campaigns, shift public narratives, and hold powerful actors to account—while also recognising the significant barriers posed by costs, delays, procedural hurdles, and political resistance. By situating these contributions side by side, the book provides a shared framework for understanding, critiquing, and advancing strategic litigation in Australia. Taken together, these contributions offer both a record of what has been achieved and a resource for practitioners, advocates, scholars and students seeking to strengthen the role of litigation within broader campaigns for justice. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Birchall-Strategic-Human-Rights-Litigation-in-Australia.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20251203 Federation Press 21 02 140 AUD 01 127.28 AUD 1125 03 15 9781760025700 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 080a82ec-1fcd-4aca-9310-fffc15c8e0a8 BB 1 A01 Vannessa Ho 208 10 LAW050010 12 2.1 LNRC 93 LNRC 01 05 The increasing use of new online and AI technologies to facilitate international transactions has led to a tantamount increase in intellectual property (‘IP’) proceedings across the world. As different domestic jurisdiction rules require a litigant to instigate parallel proceedings in all forums where their IP rights exist, inefficient and unfair litigation has arisen. Further, the absence of a formal international treaty that uniformly regulates how a litigant may make forum choices during transnational IP litigation has undermined the legal system. Forum Choices in Transnational Intellectual Property Litigation, which was awarded The Holt Prize in 2024, considers this vexed issue and suggests the establishment of an international regulatory framework, and the availability of a wider range of forum choices to enable litigants to resolve transnational IP disputes in a more efficient and fair manner. Ho develops a much-needed theoretical framework to determine what constitutes an appropriate forum choice. She argues for the abolition of subject matter jurisdiction and the increased application of the forum non conveniens doctrine; and proposes the harmonisation of private international law as the most suitable method to facilitate appropriate forum choices. This highly readable and well-researched book provides a synthesised analysis of jurisdiction issues in transnational IP disputes which will be invaluable for practitioners, the judiciary and policymakers. **Vannessa Ho, Forum Choices in Transnational Intellectual Property Litigation, was the joint winner of the Holt Prize 2024. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Ho-Transnational-IP-Litigation-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20251127 Federation Press 21 02 150 AUD 01 136.37 AUD 1126 03 15 9781760025700 01 ONIX_NOSEQ f0568dc9-ae8e-4cc7-a7d4-b749efba9d58 BB 1 A01 Julian R Murphy 240 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 This book was joint winner of the 2024 Holt prize as decided by the esteemed judging panel comprised of The Hon James Allsop AC, Emeritus Professor Barbara McDonald and Elizabeth Collins SC of the New South Wales Bar. What does the Australian Constitution have to say about statutory interpretation? That is the question at the centre of this book. What results is a view of the Constitution through the side window of statutory interpretation. The picture which emerges is both novel and consequential. It develops significantly the presently nascent suggestions that the separation of powers informs the practice of statutory interpretation. It shows a constitutional commitment to the rule of law that has bite, in contrast to the suggestions in more recent ‘pure’ constitutional law cases and commentary that the rule of law has no doctrinal force beyond the extent to which it is inscribed in the constitutional text and structure. Less flatteringly, but no less importantly, this sideview of Australian constitutional law reveals a number of points at which our constitutional culture remains retarded by its monarchical roots and colonial history. Finally, this novel perspective allows us to see that federalism is alive and well in statutory interpretation, albeit that there are aspects of the federal principle that remain underenforced. These themes, and others, are explored primarily with reference to Australian case law and scholarship. However, the book also draws upon comparable jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as Canada and New Zealand. The result is a comprehensive account of Australian statutory interpretation that positions it in a global context. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cover-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20260123 Federation Press 21 02 150 AUD 01 136.37 AUD 1128 03 15 9781760025779 01 ONIX_NOSEQ 44b8eafe-6d1a-4477-b53b-3cd7f552e8a3 BC 1 A01 Adam McBeth 2 A01 Fiona McGaughey 3 A01 Justine Nolan 4 A01 Simon Rice 3 734 10 LAW013000 12 2.1 LBBR 93 LNDC 01 05 The International Law of Human Rights offers a clear and comprehensive guide to the key concepts, institutions, and mechanisms that shape global human rights protection, while exploring the real-world challenges facing the field today. Analysis is illuminated by case studies and examples drawn from Australia and around the world, thoroughly covering the scope of international human rights law in a way that is informative and engaging for all readers. ‘Snapshots’ provide real-life illustrations, bringing the material to life and demonstrating current practice and issues in international human rights law. This 2026 edition introduces several new chapters including more comprehensive accounts of LGBTQIA+ rights and the intersection between international human rights law and climate change, as well as up-to-date analysis of how rights can be limited. It also provides substantive updates on fields that are quickly developing, including business and human rights, human rights atrocities, and contested debates about the ‘concept’ of human rights and its place in a globalised world. Written by leading experts who bridge theory and practice, this book gives students a clear, engaging guide to the institutions, instruments, and principles of human rights law. It also brings the subject to life with insights into today’s key developments, debates, and challenges. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/McBeth-Nolan-Rice-McGaughey-International-Law-of-Human-Rights_LR.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20260204 Federation Press 21 02 150 AUD 01 136.37 AUD 1131 03 15 9781760025830 01 ONIX_NOSEQ c5338a7e-d0d3-4aee-93dd-72cbd5595c40 BB 1 B01 Samuel White 2 B01 Matthew Stubbs 304 10 LAW018000 12 2.1 LND 93 LNDX 01 05 Australian Perspectives on Executive Power brings together leading judges, constitutional scholars and practitioners to address a single, unifying question: what will be the key issues in executive power in the coming decades? Across its chapters, the volume maps the historical foundations, doctrinal evolution and emerging fault-lines of non-statutory executive authority – from prerogative and “nationhood” powers to secrecy, immunity, standing, intergovernmental agreements, conflict, expertise in decision-making, and the constraints imposed by proportionality and the implied freedom of political communication. The book confronts a central constitutional anxiety of modern government: how far executive power can extend in the absence of statute, and what meaningful limits constrain the exercise of non-statutory executive power. Australian Perspectives on Executive Power examines executive power (particularly non-statutory executive power) across a wide range of contexts in which it is exercised, analysing both the sufficiency of the authority it grants to the executive government to achieve its aims, and the effectiveness of the mechanisms by which abuses of executive power are prevented and remedied. By engaging directly with the controversies likely to define litigation, governance and reform of executive power in coming decades, this collection is essential reading for scholars, legal practitioners, judges, government lawyers and policymakers concerned with the future shape of Australian constitutionalism. 04 01 https://federationpress.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/White-Stubbs-Aus-Exec-Powers-Cover-scaled.jpg 01 The Federation Press 20260302 Federation Press 21 02 180 AUD 01 163.64 AUD
