A. Now Australia is in the process of changing to a republic.
B. Now Australia is in the process of becoming closer to the British Crown.
Australia is an independent country within the Commonwealth. Formally the British monarch is the head of state and has royal rep resentatives in the country and in each of the six states.
According to the Australian Constitution, that was adopted on January 1, 1901, the legislative branch is represented by the Federal Parliament. The parliament is made up of two houses: the Senate with 76 senators and the House of Representatives with 148 mem bers.-The lawmakers are elected by the people. Voting is compulso ry (обязательно). Australian citizens can vote by mail. Those who abstain from (воздерживаютсяот) voting are fined(штрафуются). Australians are proud of the fact that secret ballot (тайноеголосование) was first introduced in Australia.
The party or a coalition of parties with the majority of seats in the House of Representatives forms the Cabinet and its leader becomes Prime Minister. So, the executive branch in Australia includes the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. Like in Great Britain they come from the Federal Parliament and are responsible to it for govern ment decisions. The main political parties are the Liberal Party and the National Party. Normally they act in coalition. The Australian Labour Party and the Australian Democrats also play a great role in politics.
There is a question whether Australia should become a republic with an Australian head of state. The debate on the problem started several years ago. Everybody in Australia understands that a change to a republic needs the assent of the Australian people at a refer endum. In February 1998, Australia began the process of severing (разъединения) its constitutional link to the Queen.

Тhe Birmingham-born reggae singer moved to the Top of the Pop stage in early 1993. Twelve months later, he was coming to the end of a disastrous sec ond tour of India, and thinking of stopping the business. (1)
"It took me almost a year to find myself," says Apache Indian, a stage
name for 27-year-old Steve Kapur. In the end, Make Way for the Indian, a powerful record, appeared.
"later in the year, he also becomes a deejay with his own weekly show on Radio One. "My music is a reflection of how I grew up — the reg gae from the streets, the Indian bhangra sound and language from home, and perhaps the pop from the radio."
[Reggae has always been a powerful musical force in Birmingham, pro ducing acts such as Steel Pulse and UB4o]-Steve Kapur unlike his Asian mates in school followed the music from the age of 13. His par ents couldn't understand this.
"My parents came to this country when rock and roll was popular, and they were great fans of Elvis Presley. If I had followed him, there would
have been no problem. (2) Asians tend to have a very
negative attitude towards black people, and reggae in particular was associated with gangs."
Steve disapproves violence. "(3) I would take my family away
and live somewhere else if I thought my children might get mixed in gangs."
Kapur was an excellent pupil and eventually became the best at school
(4) However when he was 18 he dropped out of college
because of some family problems. Kapur joined his father working in the shop and, as he was free from having to study in the evenings, devoted more time to reggae. He bought a van to help a local reggae sound system travel around the country, and finally started deejayinghimsell.
Apache has not, however, forgotten about his roots. (5) "It was
hard to record the album because I felt a lot of pressure." ButМакWay for the Indian became a socially conscious album. "People are getting shot, kids are on cocaine and crack, and I d address those subjects. I'm not leaving out the Asian people because what you apply to the Indian people, you apply to the white people you apply to all."
I live my life in a non-violent way.
The tour arrangements were chaotic and local politicians tried 1use him for their own causes.
It was harder for my parents to accept my love of Bob Магley Burning Spear and Misty in Roots.
After two quick shows I gave up hope and returned to Britain.
He wanted to be a teacher, passed three A-levels in biology, matt and art, and went to teacher training college.
All the money from the Indian tours went to different charities such as Blind Association.
