A taught political thriller, albeit a little heavy on the details. A few cliff-hangers keep you wondering (. . . "no way, they're not going to enact THAT policy are they . . . fair-bloody-dinkum!!!). And for those of you looking for national policies on home brewing, you'll be sorely disappointed; there's not a beer in sight. Still, though, rest assured, everything turns out pretty bloody good in the end.

Unimpressed Dennis,
American's perspective.
This can only be classified as a comedy, and only goes to prove that Americans are superior in every way, and that this is especially true of their ability to create policies. I read this Constitution and found it severly lacking and problematic in both structure and content. Furthermore, the only other reviewer must be an Australian national to have found this bloody document entertaining. A drunken money high on drugs could have written a better review. Furthermore it was not as funny as he thought it was, and he must be a horrible teacher at the college that I attend!
