State bulletin published laws he broke (3,5,5)
I believe the answer is:
new south wales
'state' is the definition.
(New South Wales is an example)
'bulletin published laws he broke' is the wordplay.
'bulletin' becomes 'news bulletin' (news bulletin is a kind of bulletin).
'published' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in other clues).
'broke' indicates an anagram.
'laws'+'he'='lawshe'
'lawshe' anagrammed gives 'hwales'.
'news'+'out'+'hwales'='NEW SOUTH WALES'
(Other definitions for new south wales that I've seen before include "Name given to Australia when colonised in 1788; a state since 1901" , "Sydney's state" , "Australian state, capital Sydney" .)
