The Main Audit
The Main Audit addresses five key areas:
Citizenship, law and
rights: for example, what protections are there for minorities in Australia?
Representative and
accountable government: for example, what level of corruption is there
in Australian government?
Participation and
government responsiveness: for example, what modes of public
consultation are used by Australian governments?
Democracy beyond the
state: for example, how does Australia meet its international obligations
under United Nations treaties?
Democracy and federalism:
for example, how open are arrangements for intergovernmental decision-making?
