RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT in AUSTRALIA: What is it? How does it work? | AUSSIE LAW

The principle of responsible government is one of the most important principles that guide the Australian Constitution (and the Australian society at large). It concerns the relationship between Parliament and the Executive. Since the Australian Government is formed from within the Parliament, following the Westminister tradition, there is a need for such a relationship to be regulated. That's where the principle of responsible government comes into play. In this video, we will look at what responsible government is, and how it is applied in Australia. 0:00 - Introduction to the idea of Responsible Government 03:01 - Definition 04:28 - #1 The Queen acts on the advice of Ministers 07:48 - #2 Members of Parliament 09:00 - #3 Confidence of Parliament 12:03 - #4 Individual and Collective Responsibility 13:46 - #5 Responsible to the Electorate 14:27 - Summary ***** SUBSCRIBE to AUSSIE LAW: https://www.youtube.com/c/AussieLaw?s...
