This chapter complements Chapter 5 in Government Accountability: Australian Administrative Law, third edition, which investigates the role of parliament and other bodies, such as auditors-general and ombudsmen, in scrutinising and investigating the actions of government.

Discusses both normative accounts for regulation (Why should we regulate?) and alternative accounts that attempt to explain the existence of regulation (Why do we regulate?)

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.
