Australia’s Citizens' Parliament

Australia's Citizens' Parliament is an initiative that aims to engage everyday citizens in the democratic process. It brings together a diverse group of randomly selected Australians to discuss and deliberate on important political issues. Over several days, these participants work together to understand complex topics, listen to expert opinions, and develop recommendations. The goal is to reflect the views of the broader community and provide informed insights to lawmakers, enhancing public participation in democracy and fostering trust in the political process. This model emphasizes the value of citizen involvement in shaping policies that affect their lives.
