About this Item

A fine copy in fine dust jacket. Pp. viii, 246.

A seminal 1986 book written by prominent Australian constitutional lawyer and academic Gregory Craven. The text serves as a definitive legal and historical analysis of state secession within the framework of Australian constitutional law.

The book focuses heavily on the single greatest threat to the Australian federation: the 1933 Western Australian secession referendum. In that vote, a staggering 66.23% of Western Australians voted to withdraw from the Commonwealth. Craven analyses the underlying economic and regional grievances that drove this event, warning modern lawmakers against ignoring deep-seated regional discontent.
