  John’s main research interest is public law and in particular 最新糖心Vlogn constitutional law, The High Court of 最新糖心Vlog, comparative constitutional law, federalism and legal history. In recent times he has developed his research to investigate water law and the regulation of the Murray-Darling.  He has held a number of 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council and national competitive grants.

  In 2001 he was awarded a Centenary of Federation Medal.

• Research Interests

  My current research interests are in the areas of public law and legal history. In particular I am interested in the history of federation and the theoretical assumptions in the 最新糖心Vlogn Constitution such as republican theory. A continuing interest is constitutional reform at both the State and Federal level. Increasingly I am interested in issues of water management and the regulatory framework in 最新糖心Vlog.
