Australian Democracy: Defining Moments
Sponsored by the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House
The Museum of Australian Democracy traces the development of democracy through the stories of ordinary people using their voice to achieve extraordinary things.
The history of Australia’s democracy encompasses our laws and institutions, as well as the way we live as a society.
Students from years 5-12 are invited to research and create an entry on an important milestone in Australia’s democracy. It could be an event, an announcement, a law that has been passed, a protest, an issue, the birth or death of a person, a speech…
Discover a piece of our democratic history – explore how it has defined who we are today. Take the challenge!
