The Australian collonies became states. over in Australia.She makes sure that the law goes through the House of Representatives and the Senate then it becomes a deffinate law. I chooesed green and gold because their the Australian colours.

 * The Governor General (Ms Quentin Bryce) takes care of the Queens duties
 * Constitution is the set of law's by which Australia is governed and also it describes how the parliament is composed and how the parliament works.So the powers of the parliament defines how federal and state parliaments share power.
 * FEDERALISM:Federalism means system of government,and also the principles of the federalist party.
 * BICAMERALISM:having two branches,chambers or houses as a legislative body / of making law's.
 * 2) Three Tiered System

 * Local Government is the lowest of all 3 governments.The responsibilities for the loacl government is the road maintenance,garbage collection,building regulations and land subdivision,public health and recreation facilites such as swimming pools.the leader of the local government is called the Mayor or the Shire President.
 * FEDERAL=Prime Minister
 * STATE=Premier
 * LOCAL=Councillor
 * Decisions are made if people vote or agree with the same answer or topic. Then it goes to the parliament.Then they keep voting tillone of the proposed law becames a real law of act.
 * 3) Coat of Arms
 * The symbols mean the six Australian states which is on the badges and the badges is on the shield and the Australian wattle for the background,why do we have the Kangaroo and the Emu,it is because their native Australian animals and becausethey both can't walk backwards so that Australia can only go forward,and not backwards.Also the 7 pointed star and that six of the points represents each of the states of the commonwealth,the seventh point represents all of the Australian territories.
 * 4) The Prime Minister
 * The Prime Minister is a important member of the house of representatives.She is also the head of the majority political party in the house.In the house of representatives the Prime Minister sits in the center,in the middle in front of the government.Did you know that the Prime Minister is the most powerful person in the parliament and has lots of tasks todo,these includes (1)Chairing the weekly psrty meeting in which the party decides policy and examines new legislation.(2)Selecting other members and senators from the same party to be ministers.(3)Deciding with the ministers in cabinet what new law's should be introduced into parliament.(4)Leading the government as a chief government spokesperson in the house of representatives.(5)Representating the Australian government overseas.(6) Advising the Governor General about important appointments such as the appointments of ambassadors heads of government departments and other constitional matters(7) And deciding when to call an election and leading the party in th election.
 * 5 Voting and Eiections
 * To vote you need to be 18 or older.Voting is used to decide on who will lead the next government.To vote you need to be a Australian citizen.In Australia we use the voying system for house of representatives and the senate elections.When they need to fill out their ballot papers,voters number the candidates in the order of their preference.
 * 6 Political Parties
 * There are the ALP,Liberal,The Nayionals,The Greens,and the Australian Democrats.
 * ALP=The colours of the Australian Labor Party are red,white and blue on their logo.The colours were featured in the first coat of arms of the cmmonwealth in 1902,and also the colours come from the Australian flag.
 * LIBERAL=Liberal looks after Australia aswell as ALP,thoes two parties help our country and the people in side of it.Liberals colour are blue,and a tiny bite of white and red.I think the reason they have thoes three squares is because it looks like a L fir Liberal and in one of the squares they have the Australian flag to represent Australia.
 * NATIONALS=The Nationals party represent graziers,farmers and agriculture.Green represents for farming,land and yellow is for crops.
 * GREENS=The Greens have the coloure green to represent the nature and the bush and also they help the enviroment.
 * DEMOCRATES=The Australian Democrates help preuentative approaches to human health and welfare, animal rights,rejections of nucleart tecnology and wepons.The black would represent nucleart wepons as the yellow health.
 * AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE'S PARTY
 * 7 AUSTRALIAN PERSPECTIVE
 * Democray is a regime where a rule is made by people.Usually the rule of the people involves voting eather dirctly on proposition or indirectly through Representative.
 * I think it's fair because we get to vote the next government.
