Who's Running This Country? - Government in Australia (Hardcover)

Why does Australia have the kind of government it does? Is it a good one? What does the Constitution really say? And what is government for? The author of this text explains the machinery of parliament, elections and parties at state and federal levels, and why the system has developed as it has. He also compares it with other systems and discusses the prospects for change in the lead-up to the millennium and beyond. The illustrated text may be of interest to parents and teachers, as well as useful for children's study projects.
