Rule of Law
4 min · 15 practice questions
Under the Rule of Law, all Australians are equal under the law and no person, group or religious rule is above it. Everyone must obey Australia's laws — including people who hold power, government leaders, community leaders, religious leaders and business people.
This topic is also part of Part 4, Australian values. The test can ask about it from either angle.
