THE SWISS MODEL
Based on the Swiss model
Built for Australia
Switzerland combines representative government with direct democracy giving people additional ways to participate in decisions between elections.
Its direct democracy system has operated for more than 130 years with people voting on specific issues three to four times a year.
The Swiss Vote on everything from social policy, the economy, infrastructure, energy and foreign policy.
The Australian Direct Democracy framework draws on these principles while adapting them to Australia’s Constitution and Federal, State and Local systems.
