What kind of government does Australia have right now?

Answer 1

Australia's government is a federal parliamentary democracy, with HM Queen Elizabeth II as head of state, meaning it is a constitutional monarchy. The head of government is given the title of Prime Minister. Each of the states also has its own government, which is led by the Premier. In the case of the Territories, the leader of the government is the Chief Minister.

In 1999, Australia voted against abolishing the monarchy in response to a referendum comprising loaded questions on methods of choosing a president.

Its Federal Government operates in a bi-cameral parliament with a Lower House whose members represent electoral districts within States and Territories, and an Upper House, the Senate, the members of which represent the States. This system draws on the British parliamentary system for the Lower House with the Senate containing many aspects of the American system, in contrast to the English House of Lords, the members of which are not elected but hold seats by entitlement of rank.

Answer 2

The government in Australia is both a Federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. This is because the Parliament is made up of the Queen, who is represented in Australia by the Governor General, as well as the two Houses - the Senate (Upper House) and the House of Representatives (Lower House).

The Head of government is given the title of Prime Minister. In 2012, this is Julia Gillard.
