The 1980s was a time of significant social, political and cultural
change. In Australia, the law was pivotal to these changes. The two
High Court cases that this book explores - Koowarta v
Bjelke-Petersen (1982) and the Tasmanian Dams case (1983) - are
famous legally as they marked a decisive reckoning by the Court
with both international law and federal constitutionalism. Yet
these cases also offer a significant marker of Australia in the
1980s: a shift to a different form of political engagement,
nationally and internationally, on complex questions about race and
the environment. This book brings these cases together for the
first time. It does so to explore not only the legal legacy and
relationship between Koowarta and Tasmanian Dams, but also to
reflect on how Australians experience their law in time and place,
and why those experiences might require more than the usual legal
records. The authors include significant figures in Australian
public life, some of whom were key participants in the cases, as
well as established and respected scholars of law, history,
environment and Indigenous studies. This collection offers a
combination of personal recollections of the cases, as well as a
consideration of their ongoing significance in Australian life.
This book was originally published as two special issues of the
Griffith Law Review.
