This week Australians go to the ballot box to choose their Federal Government. But how does it work? What makes Australia's system of government different to others, and why on Earth would Australians go and get a democracy sausage?

Oriana and I talk about the structure of Australia's goverment, parliament and our system of voting. We also talk about some key slang to do with politics in Australia.

Do you have any reflection on politics and voting in Australia? Is there anything Australia could do to improve? What could be brought from Australia's system to your own country. We'd love to know.
