Far from a Tweedledum and Tweedledee scenario where voting makes little difference, democratic elections have shaped Australia in a number of ways. This work highlights ten crucial moments where the election outcome significantly formed Australia: culturally, politically or economically. It looks at prime ministers and policies that never were and examines how the democratic process could have produced a different country. Noted political experts will produce ten chapters with a common theme and key questions. Two additional chapters explore the impact of Australia's diverse voting systems and the influence of social media on elections. The result will be an engaging look at Australia's political system, written by talented academics but catering to a broad audience interested in politics and history. 606 $aPolitical parties, Australian 606 $aElections$zAustralia$xHistory 606 $aPolitical campaigns$zAustralia$xHistory 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPolitical parties, Australian. 615 0$aElections$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical campaigns$xHistory. 676 $a324.994 702 $aJones$b Benjamin T.$f1982- 702 $aBongiorno$b Frank$f1969- 702 $aUhr$b John 801 2$bQCQU 912 $a9910793330803321 996 $aElections matter$93848598 997 $aUNINA
