Legislation link(s)


There are more than 1500 Acts and around 1000 Statutory Rules (including Regulations) of the Commonwealth of Australia currently in force. All of those Acts and Statutory Rules are available in ComLaw incorporating the FRLI. However, just as in a bookshop, there are some titles which are best-sellers and which people ask for again and again. The titles that we have identified as best-sellers (based on sales of printed copies) have been included here for ease of access.
