The Commonwealth Constitution - Reading the Text

• the whole text in one file at the PM's Department, or on David Moss's Australian Politics Resource

• one file per Chapter or Part via the Senate, or

• section by section via SCALEplus or AustLII - not a convenient way to read it, but useful if you want to put a link to a specific section from a web page!

or, for much easier reading, here are my two edited versions:-

• The Working Constitution, in which I have removed all expired and obsolete provisions and left only the currently-relevant provisions (which reduces the Constitution from about 11000 words to about 7000), with comprehensive footnotes explaining the editing;
  

  or the even shorter

• Essential Constitution - selected provisions, showing only the fundamental features of our national system of government (which cuts it down to about 3000 words).
