Sumari:What does Australia's Constitution say about national identity? A conventional answer might be 'not much’. Yet recent constitutional controversies raise issues about the recognition of First Peoples, the place of migrants and dual citizens, the right to free speech, the nature of our democracy, and our continuing connection to the British monarchy.
