阅读短文 Three levels of Government
一篇关于澳洲政府的简介，了解更多生活中的知识用英语~~
In Australia there are three levels of government. The Federal Government is at the top level and is responsible for running the country. The second level is the State Government. Each State of Australia has its own government. The third level is Local Government which is responsible for running cities, towns and country areas.
The Federal Parliament is situated in Canberra, the nation’s capital. The Federal Parliament makes the laws which are carried out by the Federal Government. There are two houses of Parliament: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Members and Senators are elected by Australian voters. The Prime Minister is a member of the House of Representatives and the leader of the Federal Government. The Constitution allows the Federal Parliament to have more powers than either State or Local government. The Federal Government is responsible for many services. Some of these are: employment, telecommunications, airports, immigration & customs, defence, income & company taxes, pension & family support, radio & television control.
Each State or Territory in Australia has its own government, parliament and Parliament House. Laws are made about State matters in Parliament House, which is located in each State’s capital city. The leader of the State Government is the Premier. Each of the States, except Queensland, has two Houses of Parliament: the Upper House is called the Legislative Council and the Lower House is called the Legislative Assembly. Each Territory has only one House of Parliament. State Government obtain more than half their money from the Federal Government. The rest comes from taxes on goods and services. The State Government is responsible for many services. Some of these are: hospitals, schools, roads, railways, forestry, fire brigade, ambulance, police, motor registration and wildlife protection.
Local councils make decisions and laws, called bylaws, on local, town or city matters. Local Government may known as shires, municipalities, boroughs, towns or cities. The leader of the council or shire is called the Mayor or Shire President. Local Government pays for different services with State and Federal grants and taxes, called rates, from land owners. Some services that Local Government are responsible for are: libraries, rubbish collection, buildings and permits, swimming pools, child care centres, drains and footpaths, street signs, traffic control, animal control and rate collection. |
