Levels of Government in Australia: State and Territory Government
Description
Australia's eight states and territories are the middle level of the three tiers of government. Find out what they all do, why they exist, and how they are all different from each other. You will be surprised at some of the facts you discover!
The three levels of government in Australia allow voters to engage in their democratic right to vote for people who will represent them in government. Some commentators claim Australia is over-governed but despite this, Australians hold on tightly to their right to elect their government members, some of whom become their prime ministers, premiers, chief ministers or mayors.
