This chapter complements Chapter 2 of Government Accountability: Australian Administrative Law, third edition. It contains a cross-section of material relating to the entities that make up the executive, including relevant constitutional provisions, values and terminology. The complex contemporary question of outsourcing and privatisation is explored in depth through two High Court cases and a 1998 Administrative Review Council report that foreshadows issues that continue to present challenges for administrative law principles and mechanisms.

In the MSSM, supersymmetry breaking is simply introduced explicitly. However, the soft parameters cannot be arbitrary. In order to understand how patterns like eqs. (13.24)–(13.26) can emerge, it is necessary to consider models in which supersymmetry is spontaneously broken.

This chapter complements Chapter 12 of Government Accountability: Australian Administrative Law, third edition. Many significant administrative law decisions concern the rules of procedural fairness. The cases in this chapter have been chosen for their significance in establishing key principles or because they provide striking illustrations of trends in the High Court’s approach to procedural fairness. The content of each case extract has been selected to show not only the High Court’s exposition of legal principles, but also the application of those principles to factual situations. Although the rules of procedural fairness apply to a wide range of administrative and judicial decisions, many of the leading cases (especially in relation to the hearing rule) have arisen in the context of migration. This is reflected in the subject matter of the cases extracted in this chapter.

An attractive feature of supersymmetric quantum field theories is that their ultraviolet divergences are better behaved, as compared to ordinary quantum field theories.

In this chapter, we examine the incorporation of spin-1/2 fermions into quantum field theory. Underlying the relativistic theory of quantized fields is special relativity and the invariance of the Lagrangian under the Poincaré group, which comprise Lorentz transformations and spacetime translations (e.g., see [–]).

This chapter complements Chapter 15 of Government Accountability: Australian Administrative Law, third edition. If an applicant is entitled to judicial review and successfully argues one or more grounds, what is the outcome? When judicial review is successful, the government action or decision that has been challenged will have been found to be unlawful. The sources in this chapter consider the consequences that flow from that finding, and the remedies that may be available.

This chapter complements Chapter 6 in Government Accountability: Australian Administrative Law, third edition. Information disclosure is fundamental to all areas of administrative law. Whether a request for information comes from a superior court, a parliamentary committee, a royal commissioner, an ombudsman, a journalist, or an individual questioning a government decision, access to information is essential when holding governments to account. The sources in this chapter consider secrecy, unofficial disclosures by leaks and whistleblowers, statutory obligations of the executive to publish information, and the rights of individuals to apply for access to government-held information and reasons for decisions.
