        we have one central Commonwealth Parliament, six state
        parliaments and two mainland territory parliaments.
        
        But there are other important principles or beliefs upon which our system of government is based. These include the underlying principles that:
        
        Governments must make laws that
        reflect the views and values of the people
        
        Governments must be accountable to
        the people
        
        Governments must protect the rights
        and freedoms of the individual
        
        While the parliaments have the power to make laws that regulate the behaviour of people, they should not make laws that are excessive, or unnecessarily limit the activities of individuals.
        
        • protect our broad right to freedom of speech
        
        • protect our basic right to freedom of assembly and expression
        
        • limit individuals from behaving in an offensive or indecent manner in public.
        
        There must be separation of powers
