课程概述
This unit of study is designed to introduce students to the principles and structures that underpin constitutional and administrative law in Australia. It is broader than either of these subjects because its focus is on generic issues of governance and accountability. The central theme of this unit is the accountability of government to the people, under the Australian constitutional system of representative and responsible government. The focus is on understanding the types of public power that exist under the Australian Constitution, identifying limits on those powers, the source/s of those limits and the legal avenues for challenging the purported exercise of those powers. We begin with an introduction to the Constitution, its history, and the structures established by it, together with consideration of how to change both State and Commonwealth Constitutions. The unit of study then moves to consider the three arms of government and related concepts. In relation to the legislature, the focus is on understanding the system of representative government. The discussion of the executive focuses on the different forms of non-statutory executive power. After addressing the source and scope of the executive power, we then move to look at different mechanisms for holding the executive to account: freedom of information; rule making accountability and integrity bodies. The consideration of judicial power focuses on the separation of judicial power and institutional integrity of the courts.
本学习单元旨在向学生介绍支撑澳大利亚宪法和行政法的原则和结构。它比这两个主题都更广泛,因为它的重点是治理和问责制的一般问题。本单元的中心主题是在澳大利亚代议制和负责任政府的宪法制度下政府对人民的问责制。重点是了解澳大利亚宪法下存在的公共权力类型,确定这些权力的限制、这些限制的来源以及质疑这些权力的所谓行使的法律途径。我们首先介绍宪法、它的历史和它建立的结构,同时考虑如何改变州和联邦宪法。然后,研究单元开始考虑政府的三个部门和相关概念。关于立法机关,重点是理解代议制政府制度。对行政的讨论集中在非法定行政权力的不同形式上。在解决了行政权力的来源和范围之后,我们开始研究让行政部门承担责任的不同机制:信息自由;规则制定问责制和诚信机构。司法权的考虑重点是司法权与法院制度完整性的分离。 学习成果
