Chapter 2: Legislative

Introduction

The political dysfunctional of Australia within recent years, is evidence prove that the Australia Government Structure is outdated and needed major upgrade. The Commonwealth of Australia Government structure, is introduced in 1911, over 106 years ago, when the population of Australia is a mere, 4.5 million. Today, Australia is a country of over 24 million. Flaws of Australia government structure, that would not cause problems, one hundred years ago, is now helping to create the issue of political dysfunctional and political disorganize for modern Australia.

This series would explore flaws of Australia Government structure and how it is helping to create the issue of political dysfunction and political disorganize for modern Australia and what sort of upgrade will help resolve the problems. 

Chapter 2: Legislative

As talked about in Part 1, the first and most important thing to do, is to conduct reform, making the Prime Minister, only a Prime Minister in name, but more like an US President in practice. Thus, the Prime Minister, is no longer a member of the House of Representative and is independent from the House of Representative, but elected directly by the citizens of the Commonwealth of Australia. (For detail of why that is the case, please refer to Chapter 1)

When making reform to allow the Prime Minister to become more like an US President. There will also be a need to reform the Legislative system of Australia.

In the US, the power of the Legislative branch of the US Government is vast on its Congress, including the House of Representative (Commonly refer to as a congressman), Senate and President. Power of Australia’s legislative branch is vast on the Parliament, including House of Representative, Senate and the Queen (with the Governor General acting on behalf of the Queen.) Thus, the constitution need to be amended, so the Prime Minister, mentioned in Chapter 1 above, can replace the Queen and Governor General in the Legislative branch.

However, by doing so, there is a further problem that need to reform. In Australia the Governor General can dissolve the Parliament at pleasure, while, some could argue this is an advantage, because if the Parliament, is bad, the Governor General can simply dissolve it, it can also have a disadvantage, if the loyalty of the Governor General is otherwise misplaced. Such problem can become an even bigger issue, when the Prime Minister, replace the Queen and Governor General. Thus, further amendment, need to be make, so the Parliament can no longer be dissolve at pleasure. In many democracy country, the power to dissolve the Parliament, is vast in its President (or King or Emperor, if there is no President), but come with great restriction. Thus, this article recommends the dissolving of the Parliament, by the Prime Minister, can only occur, when the Parliament is six months till expire.
