The seminar will consider the High Court’s recent decision in Palmer v Western Australia. Each speaker is uniquely placed to offer insights into what this decision means for the absolute freedom of trade, commerce and intercourse, which s 92 protects. The reasons of the judges in Palmer refer extensively to the writings of both Jeremy and Shipra.
