THREE TIRED SYSTEM The three levels of government are:local,state and federal. FEDERAL:Looks after the country LOCAL:Looks after suburbs STATE:Looks after states The law that is wanted needs to go to the house of reps back to senate and IF the law can accomplish the challenges it can be considered as a law. AUSTRALIAN PERSPECTIVE Democracy-Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens are meant to participate equally. I think Australia has a 50% that can be changed.I don't think people should be allowed into Australia from different countries because they can smuggle in drugs or bombs and weapons. The ideal government will send lots of food and water if there is a drought or a tsunami people will be able to get their hands os some food,water,clothes and blankets. POLITICAL PARTIES All the symbols use the colours red,white,blue,yellow and green because they're Australian colours.i used two rectangles because of the Aussie flag.I also used the colours because they're Aussie colour

My money for my government would come from taxes.
