This article considers how the use of referenda to enact constitutional change relates to the concept of a ‘constitution outside the courts’. It argues that the referendum is a challenge to this concept but that these challenges arise in a more complex manner than might first be assumed. First, a referendum occurs within a legal framework which calls into question the notion of the referendum as an extra-legal interruption to the constitutional order. Secondly, this suggests that the referendum is more likely to be the end point of a process of constitutional change rather than the vehicle or impetus for it. This means that the relevant developments may occur elsewhere in society. Using Ireland as a case study, the article argues that there is a constitution outside the courts which depends to a significant extent on the mediating influence of multiple actors—including the courts.
本文考虑了利用公民投票制定宪法改革与“法院外宪法”概念的关系。它认为,公民投票是对这一概念的挑战,但这些挑战的产生方式比最初设想的更为复杂。首先,公民投票是在法律框架内进行的,这使人们对公民投票作为宪法秩序的法外中断的概念产生了质疑。其次,这表明公投更有可能是宪法变革进程的终点,而不是变革的工具或动力。这意味着相关的发展可能发生在社会的其他地方。文章以爱尔兰为例,认为法院之外的宪法在很大程度上取决于包括法院在内的多个行为者的调解影响。

Keep Your (Horse) Hair On? Experimental Evidence on the Effect of Exposure to Legitimising Symbols on Diffuse Support for the High Court 留着你(马)的头发?暴露于合法符号对高等法院广泛支持的影响的实验证据

Positivity theory posits that the courts rely on powerful legitimising symbols—such as elaborate judicial attire, honorific forms of address and imposing courtroom design—to ensure legitimacy in the eyes of the public in the absence of an electoral mandate. The argument is that such legitimising symbols evoke images of learning and pageantry and create the presumption that the process by which the decision was made was fair. Typically, positivity theory has been tested by examining whether people who have a greater awareness or knowledge of the courts express higher diffuse support for their decisions. Yet, such an approach assumes that those who know more about the courts will have greater exposure to their legitimising symbols. It does not directly test if exposure to the courts’ legitimising symbols causes people to be more acquiescent with decisions with which they disagree. In this article we use a survey-based experiment to examine if exposure to the legitimising symbols of the High Court makes people more willing to accept decisions of the Court with which they disagree. We assess whether the decision of the High Court Justices to simplify their attire, including, since 1988, ceasing to wear wigs when sitting on the Bench, has adversely affected the Court’s institutional legitimacy by removing some of the mystique associated with the decision-making process. We find that exposure to the Court’s legitimising symbols is associated with higher acquiescence with decisions which people disagree with, but the Court’s decision to simplify the Justices’ attire has not adversely affected diffuse support for its decisions. Our findings are important because the Court is reliant on maintaining legitimacy to enforce the rule of law. Our results speak directly to how the Court can best take steps to increase its institutional legitimacy in the eyes of the public.
积极性理论认为,在没有选举授权的情况下,法院依靠强大的合法性象征,如精心设计的司法服装、尊称形式和引人注目的法庭设计,来确保公众眼中的合法性。争论的焦点是,这种合法化的符号唤起了学习和壮观的画面,并创造了一种假设,即做出决定的过程是公平的。通常,积极性理论是通过检验对法院有更高认识或了解的人是否对他们的判决表示更高的分散支持来进行检验的。然而,这种方法假设那些对法院了解更多的人将更容易接触到他们的合法化象征。它并没有直接测试暴露在法院的合法化符号中是否会导致人们更加默许他们不同意的决定。在这篇文章中,我们使用了一项基于调查的实验来检验接触高等法院的合法化象征是否会让人们更愿意接受他们不同意的法院裁决。我们评估高等法院法官简化着装的决定,包括自1988年以来,在法官席上不再戴假发,是否消除了与决策过程相关的一些神秘感,从而对法院的制度合法性产生了不利影响。我们发现,接触法院的合法化符号与人们对不同意的裁决的默许程度较高有关,但法院简化法官着装的决定并没有对其裁决的广泛支持产生不利影响。我们的调查结果很重要,因为法院依靠维持合法性来执行法治。我们的结果直接说明了法院如何能够最好地采取措施,提高其在公众眼中的机构合法性。

Taking Process-Based Theory Seriously: Could ‘Discrete and Insular Minorities’ Be Protected Under the Australian Constitution? 认真对待基于过程的理论:“离散和岛屿少数群体”能否受到澳大利亚宪法的保护?
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-06-01 DOI: 10.1177/0067205X20927813

The High Court is committed to protecting the substantive rights necessary for the effective functioning of the constitutionally entrenched system of representative and responsible government. This is consistent with a ‘representation-reinforcing’ approach to constitutional review as advocated by John Hart Ely in the United States, in which judicial intervention is limited to protecting the ordinary political processes established by the Constitution rather than adjudicating on its outcomes. While the High Court has demonstrated an Elyian commitment to keeping open the channels of political change, it has not engaged with the protection of minority rights or equality concerns more broadly which were a key element of process-based theory. In this article, I argue that the judicial protection of minority rights is a necessary and desirable corollary of the constitutional entrenchment of representative government in the Australian Constitution. I explore how this could arise through either a freestanding guarantee of equality or in a weaker form by inflecting other areas of constitutional practice. Ultimately, I acknowledge that while the High Court’s current interpretive approach may not support a broad protection of equality, its process-based protection of representative government provides an available means to recognise minority rights under the Australian Constitution.
高等法院致力于保护宪法规定的代议制和负责任政府制度有效运作所必需的实质性权利。这与约翰·哈特·伊利(John Hart Ely)在美国倡导的宪法审查的“代表强化”方法是一致的,在这种方法中,司法干预仅限于保护宪法规定的普通政治程序,而不是对其结果进行裁决。虽然高等法院表现出对保持政治变革渠道畅通的伊利安式承诺,但它没有更广泛地参与保护少数人权利或平等问题,而这是基于过程的理论的一个关键因素。在这篇文章中,我认为对少数人权利的司法保护是澳大利亚宪法中代议制政府的宪法保障的必要和可取的必然结果。我探讨了如何通过独立的平等保障或通过影响宪法实践的其他领域以较弱的形式出现这种情况。最后,我承认,虽然高等法院目前的解释方法可能不支持对平等的广泛保护,但其基于程序的代议制政府保护提供了一种承认澳大利亚宪法规定的少数民族权利的可行手段。

Allegiance, Foreign Citizenship and the Constitutional Right to Stand for Parliament 效忠、外国公民身份和宪法规定的议会代表权
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-06-01 DOI: 10.1177/0067205x20927809
Rayner Thwaites, H. Irving
In 2017, in Re Canavan, the High Court of Australia found five sitting Members of the Commonwealth Parliament to be citizens of a ‘foreign power’ and thus ineligible, under s 44(i) of the Constitution, to hold their seats. In 2018, in Re Gallagher, the High Court found that a Senator who had attempted unsuccessfully to renounce her British citizenship prior to her Senate candidature was similarly ineligible. In this article, we argue that the conclusion in Re Canavan was incorrect: that both the Court’s reasoning about the purpose of s 44(i)—to avoid ‘split allegiance’—and its methodology for determining foreign citizenship were inconsistent in their own right and also against its reasoning in Re Gallagher. We challenge the Court’s conflation of citizenship and allegiance with obedience to a state. We examine the rules of international law for identifying a person’s citizenship, as well as exceptions to these rules, including what came to be known as the ‘constitutional imperative’, which the Court held will exempt a foreign citizen from s 44(i) disqualification under certain circumstances. We conclude that the Court, in seeking to avoid ‘uncertainty and instability’ in its interpretation of s 44(i), did the opposite. Had it looked, instead, to the relevant foreign state for an authoritative determination of a person’s citizenship, confusion and uncertainty surrounding s 44(i) could have been avoided, and a democratic understanding of Australian citizenship could have been prioritised.
2017年,澳大利亚高等法院在Re Canavan案中裁定,联邦议会的五名现任议员是“外国势力”的公民,因此根据《宪法》第44(i)条,他们没有资格担任自己的席位。2018年,高等法院在Re Gallagher案中裁定,一名参议员在竞选参议员之前曾试图放弃英国公民身份,但没有成功,她也同样没有资格。在这篇文章中,我们认为Re Canavan案的结论是不正确的:法院关于第44(i)条的目的——避免“分裂效忠”——及其确定外国公民身份的方法本身不一致,也违背了其在Re Gallagher案中的推理。我们质疑最高法院将公民身份和效忠与服从国家混为一谈。我们研究了确定一个人公民身份的国际法规则,以及这些规则的例外情况,包括后来被称为“宪法强制性”的规则,法院认为,在某些情况下,该规则将使外国公民免于第44(i)条的取消资格。我们得出的结论是,法院在解释第44(i)条时,为了避免“不确定性和不稳定性”,却采取了相反的做法。相反,如果它向相关外国寻求对一个人公民身份的权威性决定,围绕第44(i)条的困惑和不确定性本可以避免,对澳大利亚公民身份的民主理解本可以优先考虑。

Three Decades of Tension: From the Codification of Migration Decision-Making to an Overarching Framework for Judicial Review 三十年的紧张:从移民决策的编纂到司法审查的总体框架
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-05-29 DOI: 10.1177/0067205X20927811
Gr Hooper
Over the last three decades, Australian administrative law decisions about who will be allowed to stay in Australia have led to more interaction and tension between the elected government (Parliament and Ministry) and the judiciary than any other subject matter. This interaction has been intensified by Parliament’s attempts to amend the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) to codify judicial review and the procedures to be followed when making decisions under the Act. These amendments were made with the specific aim of minimising, if not practically eliminating, the judiciary’s influence over executive decision-making. However, this outcome has not been achieved. Rather, through a thousand cuts, or more literally cases, the codification efforts of Parliament have been weakened. Instead, the judiciary has put in place an overarching judicial review framework centred on the inherently flexible concept of jurisdictional error. This framework places equal emphasis on both express and implied statutory obligations and procedures. Express procedures have often being interpreted to include judicially created natural justice-like obligations and implied procedures often including other natural justice-like obligations or at least a base level of fairness premised on the constitutionally entrenched premise that the executive cannot decide arbitrarily.
在过去的三十年里,与任何其他主题相比,澳大利亚行政法关于谁将被允许留在澳大利亚的决定导致了民选政府(议会和司法部)与司法部门之间更多的互动和紧张关系。议会试图修订1958年《移民法》(Cth),以编纂司法审查和根据该法作出决定时应遵循的程序,从而加强了这种互动。这些修正案的具体目的是,即使不是实际消除,也要尽量减少司法部门对行政决策的影响。然而,这一结果尚未实现。相反,通过一千次削减,或者更确切地说,议会的编纂工作被削弱了。相反,司法机构建立了一个总体司法审查框架,以固有的灵活管辖权错误概念为中心。该框架对明示和默示的法定义务和程序给予同等重视。明示程序通常被解释为包括司法创造的类似自然正义的义务,而隐含程序通常包括其他类似自然正义义务,或者至少是以宪法规定的行政部门不能任意决定为前提的基本公平水平。

Categories of the ‘Art of the Impossible’: Achieving Sustainable Uniformity in Harmonised Legislation in the Australian Federation “不可能的艺术”的类别:在澳大利亚联邦的协调立法中实现可持续的统一

National uniform legislation links the federal distribution of powers achieved more than 119 years ago with the challenges and opportunities faced by Australia in an interconnected world. Over this span of time, developing national uniform legislation has been described as the ‘art of the impossible’. The main objective of this article is to critically examine the database of national uniform legislation with a view to applying public policy and federalist theory to explain how sustainable uniformity has been achieved. Rather than focusing on why an individual set of uniform Acts has not achieved a high level of uniformity or has diverged through unilateral amendment, this article examines national uniform legislation by analysing the factors at play. This approach allows the common patterns impacting sustainable uniformity to be identified. From among 84 sets of uniform Acts, four discernible links with theory have been found: (1) the ‘incrementalism and policy cycle’ model—to explain harmonisation that may take decades (31 sets); (2) the ‘multiple streams’ framework, explaining legislation that emerges as sustainably uniform from the outset due to an ‘open policy window’ (16 sets); (3) ‘pragmatic federalism’ solutions, such as skeletal legislation and the conferral of powers, which are developed in the course of inter-jurisdictional negotiations when uniformity is required but is particularly difficult to achieve (14 sets); and (4) the ‘advocacy coalition’ framework, which in contrast, explains situations where jurisdictions hold firm views about retaining diversity (23 sets). Developing and drafting national uniform legislation can become the ‘art of the possible’ with this improved understanding.
国家统一立法将119多年前实现的联邦权力分配与澳大利亚在一个相互关联的世界中面临的挑战和机遇联系起来。在这段时间里,制定国家统一立法被描述为“不可能的艺术”。本文的主要目的是批判性地审查国家统一立法数据库,以期应用公共政策和联邦制理论来解释如何实现可持续的统一。本条不是集中讨论为什么一套统一的法律没有达到高度的统一,或者通过单方面修正而出现分歧,而是通过分析起作用的因素来审查国家统一立法。这种方法可以确定影响可持续统一性的常见模式。在84套统一法案中,发现了四个与理论的明显联系:(1)“渐进主义和政策周期”模型——解释可能需要几十年时间的协调(31套);(2) “多流”框架,解释由于“开放的政策窗口”而从一开始就可持续统一的立法(16套);(3) “务实的联邦制”解决方案,如框架立法和权力授予,这些解决方案是在需要统一但特别难以实现的司法管辖区间谈判过程中制定的(14套);以及(4)“倡导联盟”框架,相比之下,该框架解释了司法管辖区对保持多样性持有坚定观点的情况(23套)。有了这种更好的理解,制定和起草国家统一立法可以成为“可能的艺术”。

Over this span of time, developing national uniform legislation has been described as the ‘art of the impossible’. The main objective of this article is to critically examine the database of national uniform legislation with a view to applying public policy and federalist theory to explain how sustainable uniformity has been achieved. Rather than focusing on why an individual set of uniform Acts has not achieved a high level of uniformity or has diverged through unilateral amendment, this article examines national uniform legislation by analysing the factors at play. This approach allows the common patterns impacting sustainable uniformity to be identified. From among 84 sets of uniform Acts, four discernible links with theory have been found: (1) the ‘incrementalism and policy cycle’ model—to explain harmonisation that may take decades (31 sets); (2) the ‘multiple streams’ framework, explaining legislation that emerges as sustainably uniform from the outset due to an ‘open policy window’ (16 sets); (3) ‘pragmatic federalism’ solutions, such as skeletal legislation and the conferral of powers, which are developed in the course of inter-jurisdictional negotiations when uniformity is required but is particularly difficult to achieve (14 sets); and (4) the ‘advocacy coalition’ framework, which in contrast, explains situations where jurisdictions hold firm views about retaining diversity (23 sets). Developing and drafting national uniform legislation can become the ‘art of the possible’ with this improved understanding.","PeriodicalId":37273,"journal":{"name":"Federal Law Review","volume":"48 1","pages":"350 - 381"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0067205X20927808","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49386142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article exposes how disparity in the immigration rules of different visas combines with poor enforcement of labour standards to produce a segmented labour market in the Australian horticulture industry. We argue that the precarious work norms of the horticulture industry result in a ‘demand’ on the part of employers for harvest workers to perform precarious jobs. Such demand has been met by the workers supplied through different segments of temporary migrant labour who may be a particularly attractive form of precarious labour because of the conditionalities they experience as a result of their visa class. Our analysis demonstrates that not only do growers make preferences between local and temporary migrant workers, but they also make preferences between different types of temporary migrant workers. In identifying segmentation between temporary migrant workers on different visa categories, the article makes a significant contribution to the labour market segmentation literature, which hitherto has focused on segmentation between migrant workers and non-migrant workers.
这篇文章揭示了不同签证的移民规则差异如何与劳工标准执行不力相结合,从而在澳大利亚园艺行业产生了一个细分的劳动力市场。我们认为,园艺行业不稳定的工作规范导致雇主对收割工人从事不稳定工作的“需求”。通过不同类别的临时移民劳动力提供的工人满足了这种需求,他们可能是一种特别有吸引力的不稳定劳动力,因为他们因签证类别而受到条件限制。我们的分析表明,种植者不仅在本地和临时农民工之间做出偏好,而且在不同类型的临时农民工之间也做出偏好。在识别不同签证类别的临时移民工人之间的细分方面,本文对劳动力市场细分文献做出了重大贡献,迄今为止,该文献一直专注于移民工人和非移民工人的细分。
