I get a rap over the knuckles because I polarise the situation with demcracy the way I see it. This is not an official stance by any means. I believe that while we are a constitutional monarchy we are not a democracy. Other people have no trouble in seeing that we can coexist both as a monarchy and a democracy. I guess the English are good at that. I hear that. I don't agree, and that is my point of view.
In either case the Living Democracy section of MoAD (Museum of Australian Democracy) is concerned with active democratic processes, with the people's voice and the way that voice is expressed. That is the context in which these songs will be placed. I realise if I'd said that earlier perhaps the terms of reference for "Australian Songs of Influence" would have directed this thread differently. Though I clearly feel what that means you are helping define in words what it means.
