Conversations with the Constitution

**Greg Craven** is one of Australia’s best-known constitutional lawyers, and is Professor of Government and Constitutional Law at Curtin University in Perth. Craven was a leading republican advocate in the 1999 referendum, and was a delegate to the 1998 Constitutional Convention. He is widely regarded as one of the leading conservative intellectual voices on Australian constitutional issues.

"'A blunderbuss of a book. Craven is outrageous, shocking, vulgar, over-the-top. Yet from his larrikin prose may emerge a heightened interest in the Constitution which, for most Australians, is a black hole of ignorance and indifference.' - Justice Michael Kirby, High Court of Australia"
