Using human nature, the laws of nature, our animal instincts and the invisible world of conventions and evolution to explain 'why' the Australian system works so well. We discuss reserve rights, head of state, the republican movement, the dismissal, appointing judges, appointing our governor general, the need for an independent speaker and appointing one, our party system - can it survive - and much more. This book questions ideological thinking and presents an intellectual challenge to the reader. If you want to know why Australians are who they are, and believe you can make the world a better place, then this book is for you.
