Across the world and throughout time, societies have had to make decisions that will work for the majority of their population. In Australia, we’ve chosen a democratic system of government. This means we elect representatives to parliament who report our views, make decisions on our behalf and make laws for the whole community. Members of Parliament make speeches in the chamber about important issues in their electorate. They propose solutions to problems and suggest ideas for laws that they hope will make our society work better.
