Federalism
Federalism consists of two spheres of government, national and state, operating in the one political entity according to defined arrangements for sharing powers so that neither is sovereign over the other. According to William Riker, the activities of government must be divided in such a way that each government has some activities on which it makes final decisions. Daniel Elazar summed up federalism as a system of “self‐rule plus shared rule” – …
The Federalism Debate
These papers examine current Australian federalism from the perspectives of an academic and a practitioner. Both acknowledge the opportunities arising from the current White Paper process, as well as challenges in the face of substantial cuts of proposed funding from the Commonwealth to the States. They insist upon the need for renewed commitment to the idea of federalism, and the importance of sustainable fiscal arrangements within the federatio…

Comparative Federalism
This article discusses comparative federalism. It first considers the changing global environment that favors federalism, and then discusses more familiar structures of country-specific federal systems. It also examines the changing international environment and historical setting of federalism, and how it fits within the changing global order. The article includes discussions on the robustness and flexibility of federalism, which is a result of …

The Politics of Rights Protection in Western Democracies
This article examines two contentious rights debates – prisoner voting and gay marriage – in five Western democracies in order to assess the impact of different methods of rights protection. The five countries share similar political and legal histories, but two of them (the United States and Canada) have constitutional bills of rights, two (New Zealand and the United Kingdom) have legislative bills of rights, and one (Australia) has no national …
Oxford Companion to Australian Politics
Although there is deep academic disagreement on exactly what the ‘rule of law’ is, and whether it is a good thing, there is—paradoxically—widespread consensus that Australia exhibits the rule of law to a high degree; more so than most other nations.\n\nThere are two broad ways in which the rule of law may be conceived: as ‘thick’ and ‘thin’ theories of the rule of law. Each can be taken to extremes. An extreme version of the ‘thin’ theory is seen…

Australian Federalism
On 1 January 2001, Australia celebrated the centenary of its federal Constitution. Throughout its history, the Australian federal system has proved both resilient and flexible, serving the Commonwealth through the trials of depression, total war, imperial decline, and economic reconstruction. The constitutional system has been developed through interpretation by the High Court and popular input via referendums, as well as by the ongoing process o…
Citizens without Rights
Citizens without Rights
This is the first comprehensive study of the ways in which Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders have been excluded from the rights of Australian citizenship over the past 100 years. Drawing extensively upon archival material, the authors look at how the colonies initiated a policy of exclusion that was then replicated by the Commonwealth and State governments following federation. The book includes careful examination of government policies and…

What is the Future of the Federation
Federalism has proved enduring in Australia, despite predictions of its imminent demise. Yet new challenges of internationalism and social movements are cutting across old political boundaries and eroding the sovereign nation state. This article, which draws on ideas developed at length in my recent book A Federal Republic: Australia's Constitutional System of Government (Cambridge University Press, 1995), argues that the characteristics of feder…
A Federal Republic
This provocative book, first published in 1995, argues that Australia is already a federal republic rather than a constitutional monarchy. It argues that by adopting a federal constitution in 1901 Australians ensured their status as a sovereign people. While the book does not deny the parliamentary and monarchic elements of the Australian system, it calls for a positive reassessment of the Constitution. Brian Galligan forcefully argues that the A…

A federal republic
Protecting the citizen body
This article traces the activities of the Commonwealth in shaping a population that it felt comfortable with and capable of governing successfully from 1901 to 1962. We argue that the body of desirable Australian citizens was defined negatively by who was to be excluded, in particular ‘aboriginal natives’. This quickly became an area of administrative rather than legislative concern. A close examination of the archival record illuminates the bure…
Beyond the Protective State
Regularising the Australian republic
This article argues that Australia's constitutional system is essentially republican and only barely disguised by monarchic symbols and forms. In any case, these have been changing in recent decades towards symbolising Australian republican, rather than British monarchic, realities. Hence much of the current republican agitation is overdrawn and based on a misunderstanding of the true character of the regime or an exaggerated emphasis on its mona…
Labor's reconciliation with federalism
Until the 1960s, the federal Labor party was formally pledged to the abolition of federalism and its replacement by a system in which the central government would have plenary powers and the states only delegated administrative responsibilities. This article examines how the ALP's platform was progressively changed during the 1960s and 1970s. The modification of Labor's commitment to abolish federalism and the Senate was due partly to a more real…

Australian Federalism and the Debate Over a Bill of Rights
Successive Australian Labor governments have tried to nationalize standards for the protection of rights either by means of a statutory bill binding on the states under the Commonwealth's much expanded external affairs power, or by further entrenching specific rights in the Constitution. All these attempts have failed for a variety of political and constitutional reasons including, importantly, the strength of Australia's established system of fe…

Queensland Railways and Export Coal
The article first sketches the sorry state of Queensland Railways before export coal haulage when road and air transport were undermining its traditional monopoly on freight and passenger services. It then documents the Railways' growing reliance, since the mid 1960s, on revenue and profits from transporting export coal. The negotiating process for setting freight rates and the increasing entrepreneurial approach adopted by the state are examined…
The regulation of direct foreign investment in the Australian mining sector
Although Australia has relied on foreign capital and multinational corporations to develop its mining sector, it has been successful in restricting foreign ownership and control to 50 per cent The Australian experience provides a valuable case study because its successive minerals and energy booms in the last two decades occurred before and after restrictions were imposed and the Foreign Investment Review Board established in the mid‐1970s.
