The book explores causes of that disillusionment, and argues that because these are ultimately traceable to defects in the constitution, it is only through constitutional reform that government can be improved. This book argues that the current approach to constitutional debate suffers from the flaw of being anti-theoretical, in the sense that it is not grounded in any set of values, and is afflicted by a tendency to consider practical objections to reform before considering the moral case for it. This book argues that instead of accepting the constitution as it is, it is time we began to discuss how it ought to be, taking human dignity as the fundamental value upon which a constitution should be based. It then puts the case for change in a number of areas, including reform of the electoral system, enhanced parliamentary scrutinyof the executive, the inclusion in the constitution of a full bill of rights, the abolition of the federal system, realisation of the rights of Indigenous people, codification of constitutional conventions either in conjunction with or separately from an Australian republic, reform of the rules of standing in constitutional matters and, finally, the need to improve civics education. This book is designed to be provocative in the way that it directly challenges current academic orthodoxy. This book also outlines a proposed draft new constitution. This book will be of interest to anyone who is concerned about how Australia is governed and why it has been so difficult to achieve constitutional reform. 606 $aElections 606 $aCivil procedure 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aElectoral Politics 606 $aCivil Procedure Law 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aGovernance and Government 615 0$aElections. 615 0$aCivil procedure. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aElectoral Politics. 615 24$aCivil Procedure Law. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 676 $a342.94 700 $aHarris$b Bede$0909266 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392748603321 996 $aConstitutional reform as a remedy for political disenchantment in Australia$92034065 997 $aUNINA
