The WikiProject on Australian politics is a project to better organize information in articles related to Australian governments and politics at federal, state and local levels of government. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list here .

[edit] Collaborations (June 22 to July 3)

Interested in helping out with the project? You may want to consider helping with our weekly collaborations.

Each week, everyone is invited to add an article here that they're thinking of working on. Over the space of the week, if you make a start on the article, you'll hopefully get some assistance from other people interested in the topic. At the same time, feel free to work on articles nominated by other people, so we can improve as many articles possible.

[edit] Scope

The areas covered by this WikiProject are listed below. Each area has its own page for the discussion and formulation of guidelines and conventions, as well as for listing examples of the best articles. If a page does not yet exist for a particular area, feel free to create it and propose how that part of the Project might be organised.
