Politics … a total snoozefest, right? Wrong!
How our government works and the decisions it makes reaches into almost every part of our everyday lives. So settle in as we explore in a series of podcasts the history of Australian democracy and pull apart how our system of government works .. it’ll be heaps more fun than it sounds. Promise!
In this episode, we dive into Australia's political system: what's an election? How do politicians try to win our vote? How do we elect members of Parliament? And why a political party sadly has nothing to do with fairy bread and balloons.
This special four-part civics series for primary school kids is produced in association with the Museum of Australian Democracy
