These first three panels show our investigation into distribution, and how we came to the theory of the distribution of power. It came about by trying to figure out how to distribute resources and services among other things, when we realized the easiest way to do that is to distribute the power.
The panel to the bottom right outlines the current parliament system and the issues that we found with the current system, being:
1. Representatives and people assigned to current positions are decided by the prime minister and not
the choice of the public.
2. Pub is not voiced and compromise wants due to limited options.3. Too much traveling expenses and time for all to reach an agreement.
The panel to the left contains an hourglass and pyramid diagram which we found to explain our thoughts on how the government should work and how it actually works.
The top of the hourglass represents the masses of people voting for a prime minister, the prime minister then acts upon the wishes of the people and appoints a cabinet to action and process the requests of the prime minister.
The tip of the pyramid represents the prime minister followed by the the cabinet which he/she elects and then at the bottom are the people who are told what they can and can't do without much say in the matter.
The panel on the top left and right describes our process of explaining how our policy selection will work with some examples.
On the left are categories and underneath them are possible policies each team could try and promote.
On the right is a wheel which will explain how the state parliament will be formed by selecting on team from each category.
On the righ is general information about setting out an inclusions into our panel, as we start to think about our A4 statement.
We realize that what we are trying to do is slightly revolutionize and take back power. When we realized this we thought of the events occurring in Libya at current. However we thought, that this may be a bit too serious and because of the boring topical information presenting in our panels, we should make it more comedic to try and keep viewers interested.
We came up with the idea to base our A4 statement on star wars as it is also about taking back power. And so our A4 statement reads as follows.
In a country very very near (Australia)….
At a time when people believed their voices were being heard, the mask of democracy was unveiled to expose the hideous face of dictatorship! Civil unrest brewed. In a period of political anarchy under the control of Julia Gillard and her minions, (cabinet ministers) they mislead the people into a barrage of carbon taxes and flood levies.
In an envisioned democratic empire, the Australian parliament represents the distributed views of the nation, ultimately making decisions chosen by the people for the people. However, the people have been silenced by the lack of political parties and their restricted policies. The prime minister has seized command over parliament house; creating an army of minions and deploying them around the nation to enforce her evil bidding.
Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location ( Abram Vun’s closet) four rebel leaders have grown tired and weary of the governments deaf ears. As a result of the alarming chain of events, the rebel leaders united as one to establish the Freedom Fighters, and now plot to destroy Julia’s evil reign. Through underground campaigning, the force of the Freedom Fighters grew by the millions to regain power and overthrow the current government. Recruiting intelligence and experts in all fields, Operation People Strike Back (PSB) was formed. Commencing operation PSB, nationwide protests and strikes were initiated to bring the entire government system to a halt. To settle the conflict, Julia Gillard and her minions were forced to relinquish their power and flee to Tasmania.
With the peoples’ support, the government was overthrown, allowing the Founders of the Freedom Fighters to take charge and return power to people through the new governing system. To create an equal voice for the people; the nations’ power, which was once in Julia Gillard’s hands, was equally distributed to each state. From here, several divisions of experts within a department (E.g. infrastructure/ health/ environment) create policies in the best interest of each state. These divisions of experts vie for the peoples’ vote. The elected divisions of experts within each department now form the new state governing body. This new governing structure allows people to voice their views and opinions by selecting individual policies without compromise.
With the evil tyrant gone and the Freedom Fighters disbanded into society, a true form of democracy has been left behind. Generations on, the legacy created by the Freedom Fighters still provides a fair and just governing system to the people….
