Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The Need for More Equity in Australia's Political Institutions is a short book on the pressing issue of representative and social justice in the design of Australia's political institutions. It positions itself with and adopts innovations in 'the radical perspective' when looking at oppression of social groups by other groups of people. It examines 'ruling class' legitimacy as further foregrounding to an alaysis of the virtues and vices of Australia's 'two-party system'. It makes an appraisal of mandatory voting in Australia, and then moves to vouching for quota systems to be put in place to ensure proportionate political representation of Indigenous people and for women. It speaks to implementing more direct democratic and representation in the design of political institutions, including on the need for the establishment of legally binding contract for campaign promises to the electorate. Australia could, in adopting these political mandates, do much, much better in furthering the interests of all people! Enjoy!
