Why does the US have a president but Australia only has a prime minister?
Australia is part of a monarchy And it is a constitutional democracy. As such the head of state in this country is the Queen of England represented by the Governor general. In practice however, the Governor general is an Australian that is appointed by the Australian Government and is advised by the Prime Minister. The Governor general does have some limited powers under the constitution but these are laid out and can not be changed without a referendum being held. The beauty of this system is that the titular head of state is on the other side of the world and has no influence on what happens here. Up to now Australians have voiced their approval for this system in our last referendum.
