Our Government Like the rest of Australia, we are
blessed with three levels of
Government....
Criticising or "slagging off" government is a time-honoured Australian
tradition. But in the spirit of positive thinking, and also
because whoever's in power consistently sinks
to meet our expectations which is a bit of a worry, we will stick to the basics.
The Constitution
"....It's
the biggest law we've got!", says Darryl Kerrigan in
that classic film The
Castle.
Mainly concerned with the joining of the states into
one country, our Constitution it provides and
protects the framework for the Australian system of
government.
