Australia's system of government by
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 Australia's 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 Australia's federation represent and serve us all well enough?
