Abstract
Acts of Parliament teems with vivid detail, but is more than merely a remembrance of things past. In Souter's compelling narrative the reader may follow such broad themes as the influence of the executive government on Parliament, the rise of the Senate, the growth of power in Australia's federal partnership, the High Court's encounters with Parliament, and the role of the Governor-General.
