I look forward to the domestic policy topic :D That will be my favourite area of study I reckon.

your teacher might pick the area of change. They might not tell what the area of change is either. But if you do get a choice, the options are the constitution, parliament and the electoral system. Personally, I'd prefer to write about the constitution, because there are a wide variety of changes and I find this area interesting. Parliament is the most boring area for me, and most of the changes to parliament involve changes to the other areas anyway. Electoral sytem changes are probably the easiest to look at because it's all very straight forward and the electoral system is constantly being scrutinised, so there are a lot of resources for that.
THere have been some recent green papers and senate inquiries on electoral change. I can't remember the name, but I'll look it up late. If you're really keen google "electoral system white paper" or something like that and tick the "pages from australia"

Hmmm lots of ideas for the area of change! Too many to choose from actually...I hope I get to choose the area of change for myself.
Nova, what area did you study?
xXNovaxX:
Err *tries to bring back form the recycle bin/memory)*
OO, it was....
Whether the Parliament was a rubber stamp, like whether Parliament NEEDED to be changed. I started arguing yes and no in order to fill up lines, A+ LOL.
sgeorge:
haha You did very well, no matter how you argued it.

Foreign Policy was my favorite area, domestic was too, it gives so much freedom.
Suggested area of change can include
-Lowering the voting age
-Removing compulsory voting
-Having fixed elections instead of allowing the Gov to call an election when it suits them.
I hope they help, I will upload some more in the sticky thread 2morrow I think.

Thanks for those, I look forward to seeing the different options you can do :)

Yeah my teacher said we will be writing an essay on an area of change of our choice, that's why I am wondering about the Senate as an option. If I can, I think I'd like to write about the Senate's role in Parliament and how it shouldn't be removed. Unless when Nova puts up more areas of change you can discuss, I find a more interesting one to focus on.
So you also have to study a range of different suggested reforms in detail?
Thanks for your information :)
