Traversing a wide range of topics including preventative detention of sexual offenders, post-colonial literature, restrictions on freedom of speech and the role of constitutional conventions in the Whitlam dismissal, Hasluck’s ruminations and insights provide a nuanced view on the workings of the legal system and show how
literature can give meaning to the practice of the law. After all, due process depends upon stories being told well.
