Government of Australia 
 The Commonwealth of Australia was formed in 1901 when the six self-governing British colonies, agreed to join together as one nation.
Government of Australia 
 The first is federalism which organizes the way powers are distributed between the Australian Government and the state governments.
Government of Australia 
 The second is separation of powers into legislative, executive and judiciary branches of government.
Government of Australia 
 The Constitution supports the separation of powers in the way it sets out the roles of the branches of government.
Government of Australia 
 Section 1 of the Australian Constitution sets up a democratic legislature, the bicameral Parliament of Australia.
Government of Australia 
 Section 51 of the Constitution sets out the Commonwealth Government's legislative powers and gives certain powers and responsibilities (known as "heads of power") to the federal government.
Government of Australia 
 Each State has its own constitution, so that Australia has seven sovereign Parliaments, none of which can take over the powers of any other.
Government of Australia 
 The High Court of Australia rules on any arguments between the Commonwealth and the States, or among the States, about their powers.
Government of Australia 
 The changes must get a "double majority": a majority of all votes, and a majority of votes in a majority of States.
Government of Australia 
 The Commonwealth Constitution also says that the States can agree to give any of their powers to the Commonwealth.
Government of Australia 
 More commonly, if all the states agree, then all state and Commonwealth parliaments pass laws to allow the transfer.
Government of Australia 
 Australia has several territories, three of which are self-governing: the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the Northern Territory (NT) and Norfolk Island.
Government of Australia 
 The Commonwealth Parliament keeps the power to overturn territorial legislation and to give or take powers.
Government of Australia 
 While Australian citizens living in the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory are represented in the Commonwealth Parliament, Norfolk Islanders are not.
Government of Australia 
 Australia's other territories, (Jervis Bay, Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands) are not self-governing.
Government of Australia 
 Instead, these territories are governed by federal laws, with Christmas Island and the Cocos Islands also having local governments.
Government of Australia 
 The Ashmore and Cartier Islands has been a territory since 1933 run under the laws of the Northern Territory.
Government of Australia 
 The federal nature of the Commonwealth and the structure of the Parliament of Australia were the subject of long negotiations among the colonies.
Government of Australia 
 The House of Representatives is elected on a basis which shows the different sized populations of the States.
Government of Australia 
 But the Senate is elected on a basis of equality among the States: all States have 12 Senators, regardless of population.
Government of Australia 
 This was so the Senators of the smaller States could form a majority and change or even reject laws from the House of Representatives.
Government of Australia 
 Local governments are made up of elected representatives (known as either councilor or alderman depending on the State), usually serving on a part-time basis.
Government of Australia 
 Executive: The Sovereign, whose executive power is used by the Governor-General, the Prime Minister, Ministers and their Departments
Government of Australia 
 The Separation of powers is the principle whereby the three arms of government do their activities separate from each other:
Government of Australia 
 the Executive passes the laws by Royal Assent, administers the laws and carries out the tasks assigned to it by legislation
Government of Australia 
 the Judiciary hears cases arising from the administration of the law, using both statute law and the common law.
Government of Australia 
 Before the Australia Act 1986, and matching legislation in the parliament of the United Kingdom, some Australian cases could be sent to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council for final appeal.
Government of Australia 
 Australian law is now only decided on in Australia, and the High Court of Australia is the highest court of appeal.
Government of Australia 
 The possibility of the British Parliament making laws to overturn the Australian Constitution was also removed.
Government of Australia 
 The Legislature makes the laws, and supervises the activities of the other two arms with a view to changing the laws if needed.
Government of Australia 
 The Australian Parliament is bicameral, made up of the Queen, a 76-member Senate and a 150-member House of Representatives.
Government of Australia 
 Twelve Senators from each state are elected for six-year terms, using proportional representation and the single transferable vote (known in Australia as "preferential voting", with half elected every three years.
Government of Australia 
 There are also two senators elected by voters from the Northern Territory (and including the Indian Ocean Territories, Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands).
Government of Australia 
 Another two senators are elected by the voters of the Australian Capital Territory (including the Jervis Bay Territory).
Government of Australia 
 Senators from the territories are also elected using preferential voting, however, their term of office is not fixed: it starts on the day of a general election for the House of Representatives and ends the day before the next such election day.
Government of Australia 
 The members of the House of Representatives are elected by preferential voting from single-member areas spread among the states and territories roughly in proportion to population.
Government of Australia 
 In ordinary legislation, the two chambers have the same powers, but all laws for spending money or charging taxes must come from the House of Representatives.
Government of Australia 
 In the Westminster system, the leader of the political party or group of parties that holds the support of a majority of the members in the House of Representatives is asked to form a government and is named Prime Minister.
Government of Australia 
 The Prime Minister and the Cabinet are responsible to the Parliament, of which they must be members.

Government of Australia 
 The day-to-day business of the house is usually worked out between a senior Minister, who holds the title Leader of the House, and an Opposition frontbencher known as the Manager of Opposition Business.
Government of Australia 
 The Australian Constitution was written in 1901, when the Dominions of the British Empire were not independent countries, and does not use the words "head of state".
Government of Australia 
 In practice, the role of head of state of Australia is divided between two people, the Queen of Australia and the Governor-General of Australia.
Government of Australia 
 Though in many respects the Governor-General is the Queen's representative, and exercises various constitutional powers in her name, they are also independently vested with many important constitutional powers by the Constitution.
Government of Australia 
 Like the other Dominions, Australia gained legislative independence from the Parliament of the United Kingdom through the Statute of Westminster 1931.
Government of Australia 
 With the Royal Style and Titles Act 1953, the Australian Parliament gave the Queen the title Queen of Australia.
Government of Australia 
 In 1973 her Australian title no longer included her status as Queen of the United Kingdom and Defender of the Faith.
Government of Australia 
 Section 61 of the Constitution says that 'The executive power of the Commonwealth is vested in the Queen and is exercisable by the Governor‑General as the Queen’s representative, and extends to the execution and maintenance of this Constitution, and of the laws of the Commonwealth'.
Government of Australia 
 Section 2 of the Australian Constitution says that a Governor-General shall represent the Queen in Australia.
Government of Australia 
 In practice, the Governor-General carries out all the tasks usually done by a head of state, without asking the Queen.
Government of Australia 
 The question of whether the Queen is Australia's head of state became a political one during the 1999 Australian republic referendum, when opponents of the move to make Australia a republic claimed that Australia already had an Australian as head of state in the person of the Governor-General, who since 1965 has invariably been an Australian citizen.
Government of Australia 
 The former Governor-General, Major General Michael Jeffery, said in 2004: "Her Majesty is Australia's head of state but I am her representative and to all intents and purposes I carry out the full role."
Government of Australia 
 However, in 2005, he declined to name the Queen as head of state, instead saying in response to a direct question, "The Queen is the Monarch and I represent her, and I carry out all the functions of head of state."
Government of Australia 
 He said an overseas visit by Quentin Bryce "...to Africa of this scale by Australia's Head of State will express the seriousness of Australia's commitment".
Government of Australia 
 Under the Westminster system the Governor-General's powers are almost always used on the advice of the Prime Minister or other ministers.
Government of Australia 
 The Governor-General retains reserve powers similar to those possessed by the Queen in the United Kingdom.
Government of Australia 
 These are rarely exercised, but during the Australian constitutional crisis of 1975 Governor-General Sir John Kerr used them independently of the Queen and the Prime Minister.
Government of Australia 
 The proposal would have removed the Queen from the Constitution and replaced the Governor-General with a President nominated by the Prime Minister, but needing the approval of a two-thirds majority of both Houses of the Parliament.
Government of Australia 
 The Australian Republican Movement continues to call for an end to the monarchy in Australia, opposed by Australians for Constitutional Monarchy.
Government of Australia 
 It is a formal body which exists to give legal effect to decisions made by the Cabinet, and to carry out various other functions.
Government of Australia 
 Members of the Executive Council are entitled to be styled "The Honourable", a title which they retain for life.
Government of Australia 
 The Governor-General usually presides at Council meetings, but a Minister with the title Vice-President of the Executive Council serves as the link between the government and the Council.
Government of Australia 
 This council is chaired by the Governor-General and which meets solely to approve and give legal force to decisions already made by the Cabinet.
Government of Australia 
 That is why there is always a member of the ministry holding the title Vice-President of the Executive Council.
Government of Australia 
 When the non-Labor parties have been in power, the Prime Minister has made all Cabinet and ministerial appointments.
Government of Australia 
 When the Liberal Party and its predecessors (the Nationalist Party and the United Australia Party) have been in coalition with the National Party or its predecessor the Country Party, the leader of the junior Coalition party has had the right decide his party's members of the Coalition ministry, and to work with the Prime Minister to give them their responsibilities.
Government of Australia 
 When the Labor first held office under Chris Watson, Watson used the right to choose members of his Cabinet.
Government of Australia 
 In 1907, however, the party decided that future Labor Cabinets would be elected by the members of the Parliamentary Labor Party, the Caucus.
Government of Australia 
 The Labor Prime Ministers had a lot of influence over who was elected to Labor ministries, although the leaders small groups inside the party also had a lot of power.
Government of Australia 
 Prior to the 2007 general election, Kevin Rudd, said that he and he alone would choose the ministry if he become Prime Minister.
Government of Australia

Government of Australia 
 The Judiciary interprets the laws, using as a basis the laws as enacted and what was said in the Legislature while the laws were being passed.
Government of Australia 
 Before 1931, the junior status of dominions was shown in the fact that it was British ministers who advised the King, with dominion ministers, if they met the King at all, escorted by the constitutionally superior British minister.
Government of Australia 
 After 1931 all dominion ministers met the King as His ministers as of right, equal in Commonwealth status to Britain's ministers, meaning that there was no longer either a requirement for, or an acceptance of, the presence of British ministers.
Met Office 
 The Met Office (now the official name for the Meteorological Office) is the United Kingdom's national weather service.
Met Office 
 One of the British stalwarts, the Shipping Forecast, is produced by the Met Office and broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
Met Office 
 The Shipping Forecast has long been vital to the safety of mariners on the seas around the British Isles.
Met Office 
 The Met Office is responsible for issuing Severe Weather Warnings for the United Kingdom through the National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS).
Met Office 
 The principal weather products for UK customers are 36-hour forecasts from the newly operational 1.5 km resolution UKV model covering the UK and surroundings (replacing the 4 km model); 48-hour forecasts from the 12 km resolution NAE model covering Europe and the North Atlantic; and 144-hour forecasts from the 25 km resolution global model (replacing the 40 km global model).
Statistical process control 
 Statistical process control (SPC) is the use of statistical methods to assess the stability of a process and the quality of its outputs.
Statistical process control 
 Suppose the weight of liquid content added to a bottle is critical for cost control and customer satisfaction.
Statistical process control 
 The content should weigh 250 grams, but it is acceptable if the actual weight is between 245 and 255 grams.
Statistical process control 
 Monitoring means that the weight of every bottle is measured and recorded; sampling means that only a few bottles (say one in a thousand) are actually weighed (analysis to determine the rate of sampling and to assess sample representativeness is a well-established part of SPC.)
Statistical process control 
 If the attributes of interest (content weight in this example) vary within an acceptable range, a process is said to be in control, in statistical control, or stable.
Statistical process control 
 When unacceptable variation is noted, actions are typically taken to determine and correct their cause.
Statistical process control 
 SPC has had broad application in manufacturing since its introduction in the 1920s and in many other kinds of repetitive activities.
Statistical process control 
 Much of the power of SPC lies in the ability to examine a process, for the sources of variation in that process, by using tools which give weight to objective analysis over subjective opinions and which allow the strength of each source to be determined numerically.
Statistical process control 
 Variations in the process, which might affect the quality of the end-product or service can be detected and corrected, thus reducing waste as well as the likelihood that problems will be passed on to the customer.
Statistical process control 
 With its emphasis on early detection and prevention of problems, SPC has a distinct advantage over other quality methods, such as inspection, which apply resources to detecting and correcting problems after they have occurred.
Statistical process control 
 In addition to reducing waste, SPC can lead to a reduction in the time required to produce the product or service from end-to-end.
Statistical process control 
 This is partially due to a reduced likelihood that the final product will have to be reworked, but it may also result from using SPC data to identify bottlenecks, wait times, and other sources of delays within the process.
Statistical process control 
 Process cycle time reductions, coupled with improvements in yield, have made SPC a valuable tool from both a cost-reduction and a customer-satisfaction standpoint.
Statistical process control 
 Shewhart created the basis for the control chart and the concept of a state of statistical control by carefully designed experiments.
Statistical process control 
 While Dr. Shewhart drew from pure mathematical statistical theories, he understood that data from physical processes seldom produces a "normal distribution curve" (a Gaussian distribution, also commonly referred to as a "bell curve").
Statistical process control 
 He discovered how the observed variation in manufacturing data did not always behave the same way as data in nature (for example, Brownian motion of particles).
Statistical process control 
 Dr. Shewhart concluded that while every process displays variation, some processes display controlled variation that is natural to the process (common causes of variation), while others display uncontrolled variation that is not present in the process causal system at all times (special causes of variation).
Statistical process control 
 Uncontrolled variation is often associated with defective products, providing a data-driven means to identify problems and improve quality.
Statistical process control 
 W. Edwards Deming later applied SPC methods in the U.S. during World War II, thereby successfully improving quality in the manufacture of munitions and other strategically important products.
Statistical process control 
 Deming's approach of using SPC with related management practices came to be known as a quality management system.
Statistical process control 
 The following description relates to manufacturing rather than to the service industry, although the principles of SPC can be successfully applied to either.
Statistical process control 
 Selden describes how to use SPC in the fields of sales, marketing, and customer service, using Deming's famous Red Bead Experiment as an easy to follow demonstration.
