Section 51(i) Of The Australian Constitution
Section 51(i) of the Australian Constitution enables the Parliament of Australia to make laws about: :Trade and commerce with other countries, and among the States; Legislative powers of the Parliament. The meaning of trade and commerce is clarified in section 98 of the Constitution which provides :The power of the Parliament to make laws with respect to trade and commerce extends to navigation and shipping, and to railways the property of any State. Trade and commerce includes navigation and State railways. Interpretation by the courts "Trade" and "commerce" have been broadly construed. The early case of ''W & A McArthur Ltd v Queensland'',. declared: "Trade and commerce" between different countrieswe leave out for the present the word "intercourse"has never been confined to the mere act of transportation of merchandise over the frontier. That the words include that act is, of course, a truism. But that they go far beyond it is a fact quite as undoubted. All the commercial ar ...

Justices
A judge is a person who presides over court proceedings, either alone or as a part of a panel of judges. A judge hears all the witnesses and any other evidence presented by the barristers or solicitors of the case, assesses the credibility and arguments of the parties, and then issues a ruling in the case based on their interpretation of the law and their own personal judgment. A judge is expected to conduct the trial impartially and, typically, in an open court. The powers, functions, method of appointment, discipline, and training of judges vary widely across different jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, the judge's powers may be shared with a jury. In inquisitorial systems of criminal investigation, a judge might also be an examining magistrate. The presiding judge ensures that all court proceedings are lawful and orderly.
