The Prime minister of Australia is the head of the lower house in the Australian Parliament. At a maximum of every 3 Years Australians vote for their representatives in Parliament. Most of them will vote for a representative from either the labour Liberal or national parties. Though there are also the the odd independent or small party reps that get voted in. After the election the party that has the largest number of seats won as a result of the election is considered the government and they vote among each other to decide who is their leader. This person becomes the Prime minister.
