Australia has a constitutional monarchy based on a mixture of the US and UK systems with HM Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. In 1999, Australia voted against abolishing the monarchy. According to Atlapedia Online, it is a Federal Multiparty Parliamentary State with Sovereign Monarchy.
Australia's government is a federal parliamentary democracy, with the head of government given the title of Prime Minister.
The Australian Government is constituted of the House of Representatives (the Lower House) and the Senate (the Upper House). There are two main political parties: the Liberal Party and the Labor Party.
Even though Australia has long since left the zone of British influence, the country still appoints a governor general who "technically" reports to the monarch in Britain. When there is a federal election in Australia, the prime minister reports to the Governor General who then dissolves parliament and installs a caretaker leader in the interim. After the elections, the leader of the winning group approaches the Governor General who the appoints the new government.
The Prime Minister is the leader of the Lower house and for him to have any authority he needs the cooperation of the upper house or the senate. If he cannot achieve this during his tenure as leader, the Governor General has to dissolve parliament and call for a new election.
