Work ChoicesAndrew Stewart and George Williams, leading scholars and media commentators, explain what has been called the most important decision of the Australian High Court since the Tasmanian Dam Case in 1983.

Might it reduce State Parliaments to “impotent debating societies†(Justice Callinan)? |
