		The Australian Federal government consists of three major parts: a bicameral Legislature comprised of the House of Representatives (the Lower House) and the Senate (the Upper House), an Executive (Governor-General) who is the representative of the Queen, and the Judiciary.
		In the 1993 election, all but two of the seats in the House of Representatives were won by the four main parties, with the Australian Labor Party winning 80 of the (then) 147 seats.
		After an election, the Prime Minister, who is normally chosen from the House, then appoints the leader of the party with a majority in the House and that party thus gains control of the government.

		An election is a decision making process where people vote for preferred political candidates or parties to act as representatives in government.
		The universal acceptance of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern democracies is in sharp contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens, where elections were considered an oligarchic institution and where most political offices were filled using allotment / sortition.
		The Democracy Watch (International) website, further defines fair democratic elections as, "Elections in which great care is taken to prevent any explicit or hidden structural bias towards any one candidate, aside from those beneficial biases that naturally result from an electorate that is equally well informed about the various assets and liabilities of each candidate".

		The Australian Democrats' policies were socially liberal and in keeping with the legacy of the defunct Australia Party; the only real issue that distinguished the party from the political mainstream was its opposition to Australia's alliance with the United States and its advocacy of a ban on uranium mining.
		Kernot's election should be regarded as historic because she was a figure who was prepared to utilise the party's participatory mode of operation to her advantage by stacking out the party membership.
		During Coulter's tenure as leader from 1991 to 1993 the Australian Democrats were caricatured as 'fairies at the bottom of the garden' because of their leader's seemingly obsessive focus on matters environmental.
