[LINK] Fwd: Recent law titles from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Library

[Antony Barry]

Linkers

The Commonwealth Parliamentary Library are steadily publishing to the 
net their excellent policy analysis. I'm giving them a plug because 
doing this is great and because I used to work on staff like this at 
Parliament 35 years ago!
