I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide when deposited in the University's Digital Repository, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Kcasey McLoughlin ii Acknowledgments I am most grateful to my principal supervisor, Jim Jose, for his unswerving patience, willingness to share his expertise and for the care and respect he has shown for my ideas. His belief in challenging disciplinary boundaries, and seemingly limitless generosity in mentoring others to do so has sustained me and this thesis. I am honoured to have been in receipt of his friendship, and owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for his unstinting support, assistance and encouragement. I am also grateful to my co-supervisor, Katherine Lindsay, for generously sharing her expertise in Constitutional Law and for fostering my interest in the High Court of Australia and the judges who sit on it. Her enthusiasm, very helpful advice and intellectual guidance were instrumental motivators in completing the thesis. The Faculty of Business and Law at the University of Newcastle has provided a supportive, collaborative and intellectual space to share and debate my research.

  • Imagereal Capture
    THE HIGH COURT AND THE WORLD OF POLICY BY MICHAEL COPER* Being the last speaker of the day I suppose has advantages and disad­ vantages. One disadvantage is that, as I had anticipated, much of what I would have wished to say about the Franklin Dam case1 has been said -and well said -by earlier speakers. One advantage, however, is that I may now speak substantially without fear of contradiction - perhaps the "infallibility offinality", as it has sometimes been called,2 is not the exclusive province of the High Court! In any event, I will confine myself to some very general remarks -not so general, I hope, as to be trite, but general enough, at least, to put some of the points we have heard earlier today into perspective. Professor Zines' paper is entitled "The State of Constitutional Inter­ pretation" .3 My first thought was that this might be a new slogan for Tasmanian number plates - but in the light of the result of the Franklin Dam case I suppose that this would scarcely be appropriate! Professor Zines discusses one of the most fundamental and difficult of all of the problems of constitutional interpretation: what general principles are appropriate, and from whence are they derived. In a way, it is re­ markable that after eighty years' experience of judicial exegesis and, as Jacobs J was fond of adding, of judicial epexegesis,4 such fundamental issues should be so much in dispute. No doubt the dispute has been narrowed by the decision in the Engineers' case,5 but the permissibility of implications and their nature and content remain at the heart of the controversy.
