"Having a federal system, Australia operates under the transitional form of government which has been devised for former colonial territories or conquered nations. The Australian Constitution is the most archaic and the least amended in the world. It was framed by members of State Parliaments in the 1890's on the United States model of the 1780's."So Gough Whitlam said of the Australian Constitution in 1961. In twenty-five years of Parliamentary life he has spoken of that Constitution on innumerable occasions. With the years the views, and indeed the Constitution itself, have changed.'On Australia's Constitution' is a record of those years - a collection of speeches, lectures, press statements - each an examination of some aspect of that Constitution and its implications.How great an obstacle is the Constitution to the implementation of the aims of the Australian Labor Party? How effective a framework does it provide for the democratic government of Australia? In an extensive introduction Gough Whitlam explores the potentialities of the existing structure and examines the possibilities of a changed Constitution and its ramifications for the people of Australia.
