What does the system of judicial precedent mean?
The way the question is asked: USING judicial precedent, means that the judge is following the lead of a decision in a similar case that has already been decided upon and he is ruling the same way using the other case as a guideline. If the questioner meant to ask what does SETTING judicial precedent mean. . . that means that the judge was rendering a decision in a case of a type that had never been tried, or ruled upon, in the past, and that his verdict would set the 'precedent' by which all future cases might be judged. Judges, by the way, do NOT necessarily have to follow precedent in making rulings.

Can a court depart from a precedent if the precedent is no longer considered constitutionally valid?
Yes courts can depart from Precedents. However this depends on the level of the court and the precedent being relied upon. For instance the Supreme Court is not bound by any precedent, not even the one it set, yet the lower courts to it are bound by such precedents. Also the precedent being relied upon could have been overtaken by events e.g by change of law, time or any other factor hence making it obsolete and therefore courts departing from such precedent.

What Robert Menzies decisions while prime minister?
There are a number of key policies Menzies was renowned for. The first was his attempt to ban the Communist Party. This failed at referendum but split the Labor Party and assured his continued hold on power. His conservative social agenda including continuing White Australia policy also ensured that Australia was prosperous but predominately European looking during the 50's. Another was bringing Australia into the war in Vietnam and using National Servicemen for service overseas - using precedent from Curtin in WW2.
