  • What the Crown May Do
    WHAT THE CROWN MAY DO 1. It is now established, at least at the level of the Court of Appeal (so that Court has recently stated)1, that, absent some prohibition, a Government minister may do anything which any individual may do. The purpose of this paper is to explain why this rule is misconceived and why it, and the conception of the “prerogative” which it necessarily assumes, should be rejected as a matter of constitutional law. 2. The suggested rule raises two substantive issues of constitutional law: (i) who ought to decide in what new activities the executive may engage, in what circumstances and under what conditions; and (ii) what is the scope for abuse that such a rule may create and should it be left without legal control. 3. As Sir William Wade once pointed out (in a passage subsequently approved by the Appellate Committee2), “The powers of public authorities are...essentially different from those of private persons. A man making his will may, subject to any rights of his dependants, dispose of his property just as he may wish. He may act out of malice or a spirit of revenge, but in law this does not affect his exercise of power. In the same way a private person has an absolute power to release a debtor, or, where the law permits, to evict a tenant, regardless of his motives. This is unfettered discretion.” If a minister may do anything that an individual may do, he may pursue any purpose which an individual may do when engaged in such activities.

  • Institute of Commonwealth Studies
    University of London INSTITUTE OF COMMONWEALTH STUDIES VOICE FILE NAME: The Hon. Michael Kirby SO: Sue Onslow (Interviewer) MK: Michael Kirby (Respondent) SO: This is Sue Onslow talking to the Honourable Michael Kirby in Sydney on Friday, 28th March, 2014. Mr Kirby, thank you very much indeed for agreeing to take part in this oral history project. I wonder if you could begin by reflecting, Sir, on the establishment of the Eminent Persons’ Group of 2009-2010? Obviously, this came out of the Port of Spain affirmation in 2009, but I wondered if you could lay some background of how you came to be appointed to that group? MK: I’m not sure how the appointment came about. Sometimes it’s better not to know how appointments to national or international bodies occur. However, I was approached, first, I think, by a representative of the Australian government to ask if I would serve; then I received a letter from the Secretary- General, Mr Sharma, and he invited me to serve. I then accepted, and I served. But I’m not aware of the steps that were taken to secure my appointment. They may have arisen out of the fact that I had taken quite an active part over the years in the work of the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Division of the Commonwealth. I had contributed repeatedly to the Commonwealth Law Bulletin. I had gone repeatedly to Commonwealth Law conferences, and presented papers at them. I had not been a member of the political activities of the Commonwealth, but of basically the legal and support systems of the Commonwealth, which is often where it does its best work.

  • Michael Nash, the Removal of Judges Under the Act of Settlement
    PLEASE NOTE This is a draft paper only and should not be cited without the author’s express permission The Removal of Judges under the Act of Settlement (1701) Michael Nash This paper will consider the operation of the Act, the processes adopted, and the consequential outcomes. It is perhaps worth considering for a moment how important in consequence the Act was. And yet how little enthusiasm there was for it at the time, and how its passing was, in the words of Wellington later, “a damn near thing”. The Act only passed Parliament narrowly. It is said that it was carried by one vote only in Committee in the House of Commons. It is certain that the Act itself passed in the House of Commons “nemine contradicente” on May 14, 1701, but the Bill was but languidly supported. Many of the members, never more than 50 or 60 (out of a full house of 513) appear to have felt that the calling of a stranger to the throne was detestable, but the lesser of two evils. So the Bill was passed by 10% of the members. The passing of the Act is surrounded by myth, and records were then imperfectly kept, but Sir John Bowles, who introduced the Bill, was described as “a member of very little weight and authority”, who was even then thought to be disordered in his mind, and who eventually died mad! (1) Some of the great constitutional documents have been considered in a similar light: for example, the Second Reform Act in 1867. Smith, in a history of this Act, concludes that the bill survived “because a majority of the members of both Houses…dared not throw it out.

The present members are: THEHONOURABLE MR. JUSTICEZELLING, C.B.E., Chairman. THEHONOURABLE MR. JUSTICEWHITE, Deputy Chairman. THEHONOURABLE MR. JUSTICELEGOE, Deputy Chairman. M. F. GRAY,Q.C., S.-G.

EIGHTY-FIRST REPORT OF THE LAW REFORM COMMITTEE OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA RELATING TO THE DEMISE OF THE CROWN To: The Honourable C. J. Sumner, M.L.C., Attorney-General for South Australia. Sir, You referred to us for report the topic of a general Demise of the Crown Act for South Australia and we now report as follows:- "Demise of the Crown" is defined in Jowitt's Dictionary of English Law as "the death of the sovereign,. an expression which signifies merely a transfer of property; for when we say the demise of the Crown, we mean only that in consequence of the disunion of the sovereign's natural body from his body politic, the kingdom is transferred or demised to his successor, and so the royal dignity remains perpetual. A demise of the Crown may occur on the death of the sovereign or on his being deposed". Since the reign of Edward VIII that definition has now to be expanded by the inclusion of abdication as a deemed demise of the Crown.

Tony Abbott, MP In this monograph, Professor Flint does more than just lay out the now well-understood arguments against becoming a republic. He also articulates compelling reasons for remaining a monarchy. The case against any particular form of republic is a strong one, as the 1999 referendum result demonstrated. The case for the monarchy is equally strong but much less frequently put as it relies on instincts which are deeply felt but not so easy to justify in a relentlessly utilitarian age. The monarch is both a living human being and an official functionary deeply entrenched in Australia's institutional arrangements. The monarch is a body natural and a body politic, as Flint clearly and concisely outlines. The monarch's primary role is to provide a political personality above and beyond politics. In Australia, this role is mostly discharged by the governor-general. It is hard to conceive of an elected or appointed president acting with the dignity and restraint that has so far characterised our governors-general, including those who have been ex-politicians.

    Parliamentary Debates (HANSARD) THIRTY-NINTH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION 2015 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Thursday, 23 April 2015 Legislative Council Thursday, 23 April 2015 The PRESIDENT (Hon Barry House) took the chair at 10.00 am, and read prayers. VISITORS — CHISHOLM CATHOLIC COLLEGE Statement by President THE PRESIDENT (Hon Barry House): I welcome to the public gallery students from Chisholm Catholic College. I believe they are year 11 students. Welcome to the Legislative Council, and I hope you enjoy your tour of Parliament House. GAZETTED WATERSKIING AREA — ROWLES LAGOON Petition HON MARK LEWIS (Mining and Pastoral) [10.03 am]: I present a petition with 518 signatures couched in the following terms — To the Honourable the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned residents of Western Australia are in support of legalising a gazetted ski area on Rowles Lagoon whenever it has available water to ski safely. A section of Rowles has a traditional use for skiing and has been gazetted in the past by the Department of Transport but recently this is being opposed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife. The park needs to cater for recreation and conservation which we believe can operate together if zoned and managed appropriately. Your petitioners therefore respectfully request the Legislative Council to recommend re-gazettal of Rowles Lagoon as a water ski area to allow the goldfields people an area to undertake water skiing whenever it has available water to ski safely. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that you will give this matter earnest consideration and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
