1 This, combined with a judicial reluctance to imply new rights into the text of the Constitution (such as from general conceptions of democracy), has meant that Australian courts rarely subject electoral laws to judicial review on rights grounds. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. Australian Electoral Law
2 But even in malfeasance cases, a hardline approach against the respondent on the question of remedies is in tension with the general law rule in Briginshaw v Briginshaw.26 Briginshaw is a well-known High Court case that provides that the standard of proof in civil proceedings is effectively increased where the allegations are serious or would have grave consequences. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. Australian Electoral Law

This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. Australian Electoral Law
7 It requires that the electoral commissions be open and engaged with the media, and involved in two-way public information and education activities with the general community. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. Australian Electoral Law
