	Government of Victoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Victoria is governed according to the principles of the Westminster system, a form of parliamentary government based on the model of the United Kingdom.

		The Department formulates and implements the Government’s longer-term economic and budgetary objectives, which are to achieve economic growth for all regions of the State and increase the living standards of all Victorians.
