This seventh edition of Government Contracts: Federal, State and Local marks 28 years of its life which has seen a very substantial transformation of government.

The new contractualism through the use of contract to deliver government needs has been controversial in some areas but it is essentially here to stay. This phenomenon is examined from a lawyers perspective. Does the private law institution of contract work satisfactorily in its use for public purposes? The answer is very mixed. Attention is inevitably paid to areas of risk. As noted in the Preface, there have been some spectacularly bad outcomes. This may prompt recommending against outsourcing some functions of government, in particular human services.

As in past editions, this new edition thoroughly analyses the complex and developing mix of private and public law that informs government contracting. Some spectacular areas subside, such as the huge disturbance of the Willliams cases; and some are confronting, such as the Western Australian legislation shutting down an arbitration initiated by Clive Palmer and his companies against the Western Australian government. The legislation was upheld by the High Court.
