Law in a changing world
Australia and its Constitution, past, present and future Let’s be realists. In the 1800’s, when our Constitution was composed, the Islamics were still doing jihad – they have not desisted — and in some Roman Catholic areas they were still doing the Inquisition. They have desisted? Marx and Engels were advocating total equality, but the […]
