VICTORIA LAW WEEK: THE CONSTITUTION, THE GOVERNOR, AND ROYAL ASSENT

An invitation to a Victorian Law Week talk at The Old Treasury Building.

"Learn about the Australian Constitution, including it's 130 year history, and your role in Australian democracy in this special presentation by the Old Treasury Building.

They say if you don’t remember your past, you are doomed to repeat it. But how much to we remember about our past? And is it still relevant?
The Australian Constitution was drafted about 130 years ago. There have been eight amendments to it since, the last one in 1977. It rules many parts of the way we are governed. But what is included? And crucially, what is excluded?

In this special presentation of our regular public tour, discover the Constitution, the role of the Governor and Royal Assent, but also the way in which ‘direct democracy’ can influence law makers.

NOTE:
Due to the late notice, there is no organizer fee for this event, but you do need to book a ticket ($15) to attend:
