    What rule should NOT be followed for a fair election

    • Candidates can count the votes

    • Voting is secret

    • Everyone has a vote

    • Everyone has only one vote

    Correct Answer
    A. Candidates can count the votes
    Explanation
    In a fair election, candidates should not be allowed to count the votes. Allowing candidates to count the votes can lead to bias and manipulation of the results in their favor. It is important to have an impartial and independent body responsible for counting and verifying the votes to ensure transparency and fairness in the election process.

    Parliament is NOT one of the following:

    • Where government is formed

    • Represents the people of Australia

    • Makes and changes laws

    • A very large building

    Correct Answer
    A. A very large building
    Explanation
    Parliament is not a very large building, but rather a political institution where government is formed, the people of Australia are represented, and laws are made and changed. The term "Parliament" refers to the collective body of elected representatives who are responsible for making important decisions and enacting legislation on behalf of the citizens. It is not merely a physical structure, but a crucial component of democratic governance.

  • 4. 

    How many members in the House of Representatives?

    • 130

    • 140

    • 150

    • 160

    Correct Answer
    A. 150
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 150 because according to the United States Constitution, the House of Representatives is composed of 435 members. Each state is allocated a certain number of representatives based on its population, and the total number is fixed at 435. Therefore, 150 is not the correct answer as it does not align with the constitutional provision.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Our parliament consists of:

    • The House of Representatives

    • The Senate

    • The Monarch

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because our parliament consists of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Monarch. The House of Representatives represents the people and is responsible for making laws, the Senate represents the states and territories and reviews legislation, and the Monarch is the ceremonial head of state. Therefore, all three entities make up our parliament.
