Australian protocol & procedures

Asher Joel and Helen Pringle

The third edition of the authoritative reference work Australian Protocol & Procedures is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of behaviour in public and private occasions. Renowned for its clear and straightforward language, the book's coverage of subjects was truly vast, including official protocol and procedures such as in Parliamentary settings, visits by heads of state (including royals), religious observances, court proceedings, the honours system and decorations and as more private protocols associated with invitations, wedding receptions, funerals and dress codes
