About this document
Understanding Democracy in Australia by api-288928222 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Australia has a democratic system of government where citizens aged 18 and over vote for politicians to represent them and make decisions. Democracy derives from ancient Greece, with "demo" meaning people and "cracy" meaning rule of government. Aboriginal society before 1788 involved family groups and clans, with Aboriginal government focusing on land and resource management as well as spiritual beliefs like The Dreaming, which connected Aboriginal people to culture, law and customs.
