While I’m posting reading material I’d like to post this essay/talk by Ted Mack. It’s a broad-reaching reconsideration of how the Australian political system is organised and functions. It can be frustrating reading things like this: where there are exciting ideas that one can’t imagine ever coming about (not that I agree with everything in there), but also stimulating.
Here’s a link to the transcription (HPoration2013.pdf), but I’d also like to give credit to the place I found it: AustralianPolitics.com.
