Reviews This guide fills a yawning gap in Queensland’s legal publications … Boge provides an … overview of relevant provisions, an analysis of issues and trends and case annotations … Boge’s orientation as a practitioner is evident in his approach…He clearly has an eye to the practical application of the law and the needs of both decision makers and advisers. He … [has] adopted a range of innovative techniques which make the publication very accessible to both … I am confident that government officers will find the service helpful … Solicitors, in particular, will appreciate the guidance given … - Fleur Kingham, QLD District Court Judge
… this very useful manual … will quickly find its place on the bookshelves of practitioners and government alike … There is emphasis placed on the role of policy in the question of decision-making and the precepts that have given rise to the mechanisms in place to day … The work is thoughtful in its catering both to those whose knowledge of areas is in depth … and the practitioner who may require some back ground to the area of Crown tenure...Mr Boge peppers his volumes with resources geared at those dealing with the various departments administering the processes underpinning the Acts … the book is a long-awaited contribution to the vacuum of commentary in this area.
