Chapter 1. The Australian political system -- Chapter 2. Federal election reform issues.

Sommario/riassunto

The rise of minor parties and independent politicians in recent Australian elections has shifted the balance of power. Major political parties and voters now contend with a complex political landscape involving special interests and preference deals. This book explains the structure and functions of Australia's government and how voting systems work. A broad range of proposed federal electoral reforms are also explored. How can Australia's political system be improved?
