Basically how precedents relate to the hierarchy of courts is that all the lower level courts within the judicial system applies the rule of law or precedent that was created at the court above them.

What type of government Australia and new zealand have?
Considering the Australian and New Zealand Governments, AUS and NZD are part of the commonwealth, represented by the union jack on these two country's national flags. It can be then determined that these two countries have a constitutional democracy/monarchy. Another country that this type of gov't includes the mother country, England. Laws, Legislation, Acts, Articles and documentations go through the same process of Amendment or acceptance. This refers to the process of the prime minister developing a bill, and passing through the lower house of Representatives and the senate, and double dissolution can be determined if both houses decline the legislation. The Court Hierarchy is therefore very similar, with both Australia and New Zealand having Local Courts (Inferior) District Courts (Intermediate) Supreme Courts (Supreme) and the High Court. However England still has it traditional and formal court hierarchy system with a Queens Council, Privy council, High Court (Supreme), Crown Court and Three Divisions of District Court (Intermediate) and Local Court (Inferior). Considering America, from the English invasion in the 1600 and 1700's, America had this traditional court hierarchy system and at this time so did Australia and New Zealand, however America completely changed this court hierarchy system in the 1850's to only Supreme Courts, District/State/County Courts and Local Courts.
