Understanding Referendums

Find out more about this important democratic process.

Referendums are few and far between in Australia. Since federation we have only voted in 44 referendums and only eight of those have been passed. Join us at the Torquay Library to get a run down on how referendums work, why they are held and why is it hard to get one passed.

Bring your questions about this important democratic process to the library and join in the discussion.
