In terms of the Constitutional dispute that took place between the State of Tasmania and the Commonwealth Government, the case was Commonwealth v Tasmania (1983) 158 CLR 1, more commonly referred to as the Tasmanian Dam Case.
This dispute was over whether the Commonwealth Govt. had the right to create valid laws relating to the conservation of the environment, thus stopping construction of the Franklin dam.
It was ruled the legislation of the Commonwealth was valid, hence the Tasmanian Govt was not able to construct the dam.
This decision undermined the concept of federalism, the division of powers, and even the rule of law.
