Zorluk: ZorObeying the Law

An individual who has been a permanent resident in Australia for several years is fined for violating a local government ordinance. The resident argues in court that because they are not an Australian citizen and are therefore ineligible to vote in local, state, or federal elections, they should not be bound by laws created by representatives they did not elect. According to the responsibilities of living in the Australian community, which of the following statements best addresses this argument?

  1. All people in Australia, including residents and visitors, must obey laws made by all levels of government regardless of whether they were eligible to vote for the representatives.Cevap
  2. B
    The legal obligation to obey state and local regulations is a privilege that only applies to individuals who are currently registered on the Commonwealth electoral roll.
  3. C
    Permanent residents are only required to follow federal laws passed by the Australian Parliament, as the authority of local councils does not legally apply to non-citizens.

Cevap

All people in Australia, including residents and visitors, must obey laws made by all levels of government, regardless of their citizenship or voting status.
In Australia, the responsibility to obey the law is universal. This means that every person currently in the country—whether they are a citizen, a permanent resident, or a temporary visitor—is legally required to follow the laws made by federal and state parliaments, as well as local government authorities. The obligation to follow these laws is not dependent on having the right to vote for the representatives who created them.

Citizens, permanent residents, and visitors are all legally bound by Australian regulations.

The requirement to obey the law is independent of the privilege to vote.
