Description

Hi! I’m Shawn the Prawn, a 350 million-year-old tiny coral fossil that lives in the floor of the grand Marble Foyer at Australia’s Parliament House. Sharing a house with a democracy is awesome because Australia’s democracy is unique and it totally rocks.

Every three years, Australians come together on a Saturday to elect a government. Annabel says we do this because having a government is the best way for large groups of people to live in peace and enjoy things like roads and airports and hospitals and delicious food without having to personally arrange all the boring stuff. But how do we elect a government? All these and many other questions are answered by Annabel Crabb, political writer, commentator and broadcaster along with illustratorial help from Guardian Australia cartoonist, First Dog on the Moon.
