    present in Australia’s colonial times.2 In more modern times‚ the pluralist theory of the state still reflects the distribution of political power in some aspects. The flaws to this approach‚ however‚ compounded with the fact that there are traces of Elitism and Marxism in Australia‚ means that the pluralist theory may not accurately describe the distribution of political power in Australia.
