The Birth of Canberra: Australia’s Capital

Politics … a total snoozefest, right?  Wrong!

How our government works and the decisions it makes reaches into almost every part of our everyday lives. How and why you go to school, the sports you play, the roads you drive on, the hospitals you rely on, the kind of society you’re going to grow up and live in, and so much more...

So settle in as we explore the history of Australian democracy and pull apart how our system of government works .. it’ll be heaps more fun than it sounds. Promise!
