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?
