GOVERNMENT

DEMOCRACY Democracy means that the Government will listen to our word to make laws and decisions. It is a method. I reckon that we have a fair system of Governement works in because they help us make the right decisions. The ideal Government would be no fighting, being friends and working together.

THE PRIME MINISTER The Prime Minister decides policy and examines new legislations, leads Government, represents overseas and descides when to call an election and will lead the party into the election.

VOTING Every three years every Australian that is over 18 and have registered vote who they want to be their PM. Tony Abbott was voted to be PM

COAT OF ARMS

WATTLE- Native to Australia. (PLANT) STAR- Represents the six states and two territories of Australia. ANIMALS- Can't step back. This means that Australia should go forward. SHIELD- Stands for the six states of Australia SCROLL- Says the name of our country

THREE TIERED SYSTEM

The three levels of Government are: Local, state and federal. Local look after the area, state make descisons for the state and federal look after the country. The leader of federial is the PM, states leader is Premier and local is Mayor.

FEDERATION

Federation occured in 1901 when the six colonies become the six states. The Governer- General's job is too represent the Queen. The Constitution is a handbook on how the Government should run the country. FEDERALISM means the federal principal or system of Government. BICAMERALISM means we have two houses in Government.

THE IDEAL GOVERNMENT

The type of Government I want is a Monarchy. Why? well I think that having a King or a Queen because I think they can make all the decisions.

The laws would be made by letting the public to vote on what the law would be and over 50% would get their way.

Voting would be the same as how it currently is. But voting would stop at 7:00pm insted of 6:00pm.

RULES OF MY GOVERNMENT 1. Senate and House of Representives would have both 150 people 2. Voting would go for 3 hours 3. One term would be 2 year.

I would be in charge of the Defence force with defence and meeting with other world leaders about defence stuff.

The money would come from funding and the people that run the Government.
