Two Way Governance: Presentation 4
Governance
helps people live and work
together as a society.
It is about:
• How people make decisions and laws
and who does it
• How they keep the laws and carry out
the decisions
Governments, councils, businesses and
organisations use governance in different
ways but they all have to work within their
rules and the laws of Australia.
