Got an outcome on the Australian parliamentary system

[molllz]

It is an open book outcome, what type of questions can i expect for this outcome as its an open book?

A few examples would be good

[eeps]

- Explain what is the principle of representative government is. (2 marks)
- Explain what is the principle of responsible government is. (2 marks)
- Outline the separation of powers and explain how it’s applied in Australia. (4 marks)
- Outline the structure of the Victorian Parliament. (4 marks)
- Explain one role of the lower house of the Victorian Parliament. (2 marks)
- Explain one role of the upper house of the Victorian Parliament. (2 marks)
- Outline one role of the Governor. (1 mark)
- Outline the structure of the Commonwealth Parliament. (4 marks)
- Explain one role of the lower house of the Commonwealth Parliament. (2 marks)
- Explain one role of the upper house of the Commonwealth Parliament. (2 marks)
- Outline one role of the Governor-General. (1 mark)
- Discuss the extent to which the Senate acts as a house of review. (4 marks)

Refer above. That's really all the questions I can think of relating to the Australian parliamentary system.

While our Parliament operates under a bicameral system, it would be a more effective law-maker if it consisted of only one house’. Discuss.

I like this question for some reason...

Yes very good question.

Lots to say and argue about. Using the examples of QLD and the territories would add weight to the argument.

There are too many questions to post, so I've attached a Word doc for you. The questions with dates at the end come from past VCAA exams, and the ones without are original extras. Your SAC shouldn't stray too far from what's gone before.

With the open-book, can you use your own notes instead of the textbook? If so, preparing dot-point reminders on specific wording and content for each sub-topic would be more effective. Personally, I would treat it like a closed book SAC and learn my content and wording by heart beforehand - you waste precious minutes checking your notes.

Also, just with the structure of parliament questions, they only ever ask them for 1 or 2 marks.

Good luck!
