While interviews with some 60 present and past Senators and Members form the centrepiece of her study, Dr maddox has drawn on the Convention Debates of the 1890s, the Constitutional Convention of 1998 and landmark court cases on Indigenous religious/spiritual issues to present an insight into how attitudes to religion may have influenced the players and issues in Australia"--Foreword
