- I should add that as one of the outcomes of a still ongoing dispute
- over the redevelopment of one particular industrial site, the High
- Court of Australia handed down a ruling (I think Crown vs Swan Valley
- Fringedwellers 1990, something) that no Australian Government as an
- interested party in itself can any longer assert crown prerogative
- on land a posteriori.
-
- The assertion of prerogative must now be debated in Parliament, and
- if passed by both Houses through normal procedures written into the
- legislation pertaining to each particular case a priori.
-
- There you go.
