On today’s episode, we’re going back to the basics: What does it mean to be a citizen in Australia, what is expected of us as part of this, and what can we expect from the government in return? We'll also be unpacking;
What are the three levels of government, and what are they responsible for?
What is the role of parliament? 
What’s the Senate? The House of representatives? The Cabinet?? (no we’re not talking furniture..)

It's the need-to-know information to explain why we have elections, and what impact they have on our lives. 

Many thanks to special guests Dr Zareh Ghazarian and Mali Rea for giving their time and knowledge.
