 | | Australia is a constitutional monarchy, with Elizabeth II reigning as 'Queen of Australia'. | | | Australia has a bicameral federal Parliament, comprising a Senate (or upper house) with 76 Senators, and a House of Representatives (or lower house) with 150 Members. | | | Although Australia had become independent in many respects, the British government retained some powers until the Statute of Westminster of 1931 was ratified by Australia in 1942, and the theoretical authority of the British Parliament over individual states was not completely severed until the passing of the Australia Act in 1986. |

| | Australian republicanism is a movement within Australia to replace the countrys existing status as a Commonwealth realm under a constitutional monarchy with a republican form of government. | | | In the 2004 Federal elections the party strengthened its majority in the Lower House and, with its coalition partners, became the first federal government in twenty years to gain an absolute majority in the Senate. | | | Raymond Steele Hall was Premier of South Australia from 1968 to 1970, Senator for South Australia from 1975 to 1977 and federal member for Boothby constituency from 1981 to 1996. |

| | However, as a result of the debate on racism in Australia, the federal parliament passed motions, supported by all major parties, that condemned attempts by politicians to foster racism for electoral benefit and reaffirmed the right of all Australians to be treated with equal respect. | | | The Coalition gained a large majority in the house of representatives but failed to secure a majority in the senate. | | | Peter Davis, an ALR member for thirty years who was elected mayor of Port Lincoln (South Australia) in 1995, pledged his support for AAFI and Hanson in 1996. |

| | In the Senate, with the exact outcome still to be determined, the government is on the verge of an outright majority, possibly needing the help of the new right-wing Family First Party which won seats in the Senate for the first time. | | | The Nationals won a fourth seat for the Coalition in Queensland, giving the goverment an absolute majority in the Senate. | | | This ends up meaning that a vote in a Perth constituency is worth only a third of that in the Country. |

| | Howard said Sunday he had received calls of congratulations from Bush and fellow coalition against terror leader British Prime Minister Tony Blair -- who is himself expected to face his electorate next spring. | | | The newly-elected Senators only take their seats next July. | | | Even if the coalition doesn't win outright Senate control, it probably will be just one seat short, in which case a new Christian-based party, Family First, winning its first federal Senate seat, would hold the balance of power, and likely back the coalition on most issues. |

| | Bob Katter, the MP for the northern Queensland electorate of Kennedy announced on July 8 that he would resign from the federal parliamentary National Party and contest the next general election—due within months—as an independent. | | | Earlier this year, Katter attempted to oust the National Party Senate leader Ron Boswell and urged the Nationals to swap voting preferences with Pauline Hanson’s extreme right-wing One Nation party. | | | Since February, when the Liberal-National Party coalition suffered landslide defeats at two state elections, first in Western Australia and then Queensland, Prime Minister John Howard has desperately sought to recover support in former Liberal-National Party constituencies by reversing aspects of one economic policy after the other. |

| | The Coalition does not currently operate at a state level in Queensland, and the two conservative parties there compete both for state electoral seats and Senate positions. | | | The party also directs its federal members and senators which of the two other parties (or neither) to sit with. | | | As a result of variations on the preferential voting system are used in every state and territory, the Coalition has been able to thrive, wherever both its member parties have both been active. |
