| Summary |
"Since 1901 the Australian nation has been governed as a parliamentary democracy represented by a federation of States under one Federal government. Although Australia is an independent nation, the Queen of Great Britain is also formally the Queen of Australia, represented by a Governor-General. With so many levels of government in Australia federal, state and local debate often arises over practicality, duplication and overlap. This book presents an overview of the structure and functions of Australias governments, and explores proposed reforms regarding compulsory versus voluntary voting; the right to vote for young people under 18; and the federalism debate with so many layers of government, does Australias federation represent and serve us all well enough?"--Provided by publisher |
