Paper Topic:

`The rule of law remains central to Australias legal system`. Discuss.

The said clauses look for to limit or to take away the privilege of judicial review for the verdicts of the Australian government administration . The recent example on the subject is the Terrorism [Police Powers] Act , 2002 of New South Wales which safeguards certain decisions initiated by the Police Minister from the process of judicial review

In Australian judicial system , rule of law is revered as founding stone However , like people never thought of the foundation of any building while working or residing there , existence of the rule of law is also

br frequently forgotten by Australian citizens . [High Court of Australia 2002]

3 . CONCLUSION

Thus , the rule of law is the foundational doctrine or standard which acts as a corroborating system for the government of Australia Further , the rule of law is solely designed to offer defence against the employment of subjective power and the concept that the law must be ultimate , is , in addition , an assurance extended by the constitution . It acts to offer Australian citizens with foregone conclusion thereby obviously identifying the conduct demanded by the Australian law and also offers protection , by demanding the Australian government to operate in tune with law

It is to be remembered that phraseology `rule of law ' is not outlined in Australian Constitution or in its other legislations and hence , its relevance and its significance is open to elucidation
