Features of Australian Federal System.
Separation of powers: where the powers of the government are divided into three branches which are kept independent of each other, to prevent one branch from gaining too much power.
Division of powers: where the lawmaking powers are divided between the commonwealth and the states. Exclusive powers are those held only by the Commonwealth, e.g. defence and immigration. Concurrent powers are those which are shared by the states and Commonwealth, such as marriage laws. Residual powers are those which are left to the states (and therefore not expressed in the Constitution), such as education, crime and health.
Federal system: one national or central government and a series of state governments, and each have a set of law-making powers. This system is seen in Australia, where there are a series of states with government, and there is a federal government.
