The Australian political system is Still part of the British Monarchy, so Queen Elisabeth is still the titular head of the government of Australia. The Governor general is the Queens representative or go between so to speak. The Governor general is an Australian appointed to the job by the Australian parliament. The role of the GG is largely ceremonial He swears in the government for example and he also install a caretaker government between the time the government is stood down and when the new one is elected in to office. If for certain reasons the ruling party is unable to carry out its job the GG has the power to sack both houses of the Parliament and call for a new election, as happened with the sacking of the Whitlam labour government.
