Summary
This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to, and enquiry into, the rules of Western Australias (WA) system of government. The WA Constitution is not well known or understood or even easy to identify and this book provides an essential guide. It brings academic expertise and careful scholarship to the exploration of sometimes complex constitutional issues in a way that will be invaluable for those with specialist interest in constitutional law and government while also being engaging and accessible for a wider audience. In doing so, it combines authorial expertise from constitutional law and political science something essential to a well-rounded understanding of the simultaneously legal and political nature of a Constitution.
