Parliament is central to the democratic claims of our system of
governance. This book evaluates the role and performance of this
centrepiece of Australian government. It explores the institutional
design of the parliament, and its principles and practices,
presenting a compelling case for reform. Uhr discusses parliament's
representative and legislative roles, and the issue of
accountability. He looks at the place of representative assemblies
in liberal political theory and assesses current institutional
performance. He argues that republicanism can be seen as a form of
deliberative democracy, examining ways in which such democracy
might be made more effective and meaningful in Australia. Combining
an authoritative knowledge of political theory with a familiarity
with the inner-workings of the Australian parliament, the author
makes an important contribution to debates in Australia and
internationally.
