Book: The Historical Traditions of the Australian Senate: A Bastion Against Democracy?

A PhD thesis submitted at the Australian National University and now published: Sylvia Marchant (independent scholar), "The Historical Traditions of the Australian Senate: A Bastion Against Democracy?" (LAP Lambert Academic Publishing, January 2011).

Quote: "This is an examination of the raison d'etre of Australia's upper house established in 1901. ... Answers were sought to the questions of how and why it was conceived and created and what role it was expected to play. ... The work explores the literature that might have influenced its establishment and structure, and the attitudes, ideals, experience and expectations of the men who initiated its existence and designed its structure".
