- The right to independence
- The English language
- Unity
- Compassion
- Tolerance to those who act out
Government parties consist of men, women and people of all races, (some more represented than others) which makes everyone included and ties in with modern values that push equality for all.

Australia maintains the world's sixth oldest democratic governing system, beginning at colonisation. There has always been a voting system in place that allows citizens to chose who is elected for governor of their country. 1902 introduced women's voting rights and 1962 brought indigenous rights to vote. The government hasn't always been multicultural, and introduced a 'White Australia' policy that affected many people.

Majority of Australia respects to government to a certain extent, as it provides (mostly) free healthcare, centrelink payments and other forms of aid that help them in their everyday lives. Again, politics among Australians is laid back and disrespecting the government isn't frowned upon too much. Indigenous populations have a general distrust with the government because of many forced assimilation policies that have taken place in the past.

Australians have a very laid back attitude regarding politics, there is an air of carelessness among the people. It is evident that they are proud of their liberal government structure but it's really not that serious when people talk about their political views. Examples of the carelessness include; a prime minister who got went swimming and never came back had a swimming pool named after him, the infamous story about ScoMo pooing himself in an Engadine Maccas etc.
