Australia Government

It means that power is separated and vested in a legislature, an executive and a judiciary.

Once called Town Clerk, now different fancy titles in different cities.

In the United States it would be the Mayor of the city or town. In some places this elected official is referred to as the City Supervisor.

Yes. A few pertinent points according to the CSIRO website: * In 1916, the Australian Government established the Advisory Council of Science and Industry as the first step towards a 'national laboratory'. * Several years later, a report on how to organise Australian science resulted in the establishment of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in 1926. * In 1949, CSIR ceased all secret or 'classified' work for the military and was renamed CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. * As an Australian Government science agency, CSIRO receives funding through the Australian Government Budget. The CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, remains Australia's national science agency. See the link below for more information.

Somalia has a very limited government.

Actually, Somalia has a very weak totalitarian government.

As Far as I know, the only society on earth that has limited government is

the USA and the several States.

It has a federal government of 17 specific powers.

These powers are listed in Article 1 Section 8.

It it's restricted in how it can excercise these 17 powers by

Article 1 section 9 and the first ten amendments.

The director of the government agency responsible for immigration could be sued for not doing his job.

State Police and emergency services

Schools

public transport

A plebiscite

An emergency clause allows certain normal procedures to be skipped in enacting a law. In particular, normally laws take effect some time after they are passed, to give time for people to become aware of the new law, but with an emergency clause a new law can go into effect immediately.

Amongst other things, the State Governments are responsible for the provision of Law enforcement, public schools, hospitals (though this is progressively becoming a federal issue), issue drivers licenses just to name a few.

In the Australian system, the states have the right to legislate on any issue where the commonwealth hasn't, or doesn't have the power to legislate, excepting a few things like the states can create their own currency, raise a army etc.

Steve Garlick is the national president.

Australian politician Henry Parkes (1815-1896) married his 3rd wife, Julia Lynch, on October 23, 1895. He was 80 years old, and she was his 23-year-old cook and housekeeper. He died 6 months later, on April 27, 1897.

That is a subjective question and there is no right answer. In my opinion though on the whole I would say No. There is a definite need for the federal parliament and I think the citizens are best served by having both state and local government.

On the whole I think the system could do with some improvement, but in the basic layout of power and systems I think its all necessary and beneficial.

There are 150 representatives and 76 senators so 226 total.

Regular free and fair elections

Compulsory Voting

Independent media

Independent and strong judiciary

Cooperation between the levels of government.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organization does not carry guns because they have no police authority. They ares simply an investigative service, and if arrests are needed, they may coordinate with the Australian Federal Police.

Depends how it defines it, there have been 34 federal government ministries since 1945.

Notably the acts to repeal workchoices and create their new industrial relations system, which was the second item of the new parliament after the apology.

Western Australian local government councillors swear an oath of office that commits them to uphold the laws of the state and the integrity of their role. The oath typically involves a pledge to act honestly and impartially in the best interests of the community, to make decisions based on the welfare of the public, and to faithfully perform their duties. This oath underscores the importance of accountability and ethical conduct in local governance.

Legislative Branch makes the laws, the Executive enforces the laws and the Judiciary settles disputes.

The tax put the price of an average pack up by $2.

As the executive comes from within the legislature, its usually easier to pass legislation, as the government holds the numbers in the lower house anyway, as opposed to a (for example) American style system where the congress can be politically opposite to the government.

An interesting note is that since WW2, of all the third world countries that dmeocratized through a parliamentary system, 2/3rds remain today. No presidential system made it without coups or other constitutional issues arising, so it would appear a advantage of the Westminster system is that it dosent place too much power with one person...

It is the responsibility of the federal government because these matters are too large for any other level of government to handle. :)
