Best Answer

No.

The head of government in Australia is the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister is elected by the caucus of the governing party.

Federal elections in Australia elect one party to government every four years.

In no election in Australia can a voter elect a leader of the party, however they can elect their local member, upon whom they may exert pressure to cast a vote for a specific member of the party for the position of the Prime Minister/Head of the Opposition.
