How the new hypothetical Australian capital will fit in with the national government infrastructure.
Local Layer:
- Regional governments around the country with democratically elected district representatives.
- Direct responsibility in serving the needs unique to the local population and environment,
- Providing utilities and services to the local population,
- Acquiring extra funds and resources from the national government for infrastructure where needed.
National Layer - New Hypothetical Capital
- Parliament House, Canberra
- House of Reps upgraded to integrate with the new vHouse.
- Senate representation shifted. Equal representation between the new regional governments instead of the states (which no longer exist).
- vHouse, Everywhere
- Access via the world wide web and special access centres established around the country.
- Participants can introduce, discuss, and vote on new policies (based on the principles of guidance) which are then put forward to the House of Reps.
- Participants can observe the House of Reps while in process and take part during question time.
- The vHouse can not take part in the voting of new bills and legislation in the House of Reps, however it can:
- Put pressure on politicians to follow the mandate by which they were elected
- Introduce strong publicly backed policies into the House of Reps that reverse unpopular decisions made by the government.
