Australia has Federal, State and Localgovernment levels.
Federal:
Australia operates under a Federal parliamentary democracy, based on a constitution, so it is also sometimes referred to as a constitutional monarchy. The Australian government is based on the British system, which is the Westminster system of parliament, and consists of the House of Representatives (the Lower House) and the Senate (the Upper House). The lower house is chosen by the voters in electorates. The senate is chosen by voters in the states.
In Australia, although the Queen seems little more than a figurehead, she approves the appointing of the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Governor General is the Queen's representative in Australia, and his/her powers include appointing ambassadors, ministers and judges, giving Royal Assent to legislation, issuing writs for elections and bestowing honours. The Governor-General is also Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Defence Force. Whilst the Governor-General usually acts only on the advice of the Prime Minister, his/her reserve powers can be exercised over that of the Prime Minister, in extreme situations.
The Federal government oversees the following areas:
- telecommunications
- Immigration, customs and border security
- employment
- welfare
- airports
- income tax
- defence
- education
State:
Each of the states of Australia, and the Northern Territory, has its own state government. Areas covered by the state governments include:
- health
- education
- Law and Order (state courts and police)
- emergency services, e.g. fire, ambulance, SES
- public transport
- housing
- water
- tourism
- sport and recreation
- environment and wildlife protection
- roads and motor registration
- mining and Natural Resources
Local:
Within each state government are various local governments or councils responsible for overseeing matters directly related to their specific area. These areas include:
- recreation and entertainment
- refuse collection
- houses, buildings and town planning
- community health and services
- libraries
- parks, gardens and "green space"

Many English words would not exist either because they are of Latin origin. The alphabets of the western European languages would not exist or would be different because they have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet.Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical architecture would not have existed because they were modelled on Roman architecture.
