Australian Offshore Laws brings together in one place a reference to all laws that apply to offshore Australian waters for the benefit of legal practitioners, regulators, academics and students. It demonstrates the unnecessary complexity of the Australian offshore legal regime and proposes, as a first step towards reform, a review of the Offshore Constitutional Settlement of 1979 (OCS 1979). It discusses the manner of present drafting of such laws as many Commonwealth, State, and Territory laws apply offshore but few are drafted in a manner which identifies their limits or recognises their interaction with other offshore laws of with the OCS 1979.

The report presents statistical information on the relationship between human activities and the environment. The new organisational structure introduced for this edition is particularly suited to providing a sustainable development perspective on the subject. The chapters examine the influences of people on the environment, the influences of the economy on the environment, the influences of environmental processes on the economy and society. While much of the information on human activities is drawn from the databases of the ABS, the report also contains a variety of information from other agencies on characteristics of the natural environment.

This new edition of Retreat from Injustice has the strengths and style of its predecessor: the account of human rights in Australia is firmly grounded in historical and international contexts; the availability and limitations of rights and freedoms are clearly detailed and illustrated with cases; and a particular spotlight is placed on key current human rights issues including terrorism, indigenous issues and asylum seekers.
