dc.description.abstract | ‘Like a chameleon,’ according to Twomey, ‘the Crown, is a unique and unusual creature within Australia’s constitutional law. It takes great care to protect itself by blending into its background so carefully that its presence is barely perceptible. It can, of its own volition, change its colour to suit its environment and deceive other as to its nature’ (p. 272). Drawing on original sources and archival material in the United Kingdom and Australia, Anne Twomey in The Chameleon Crown undertakes a detailed examination of this slippery concept, exploring its formulation from the early colonial period, to federation, and ultimately to the enactment of the Australia Acts in 1986. In each chapter we get a new and revealing glimpse into the subtle and complex relationship between the States, the Commonwealth, the United Kingdom and the Queen. | |
