Any Prime Minister may be voted out by his or her party, it is decided by the party, however a parliament is a maximum of 5 years.

The Prime Minister isn't directly elected like, say, the US president is. So no-one "voted" for John Key to be Prime Minister. He became Prime Minister because he leads the largest party in parliament, following the 2008 general election. As leader of the largest party (National) he formed a government with the support of Act, the Maori Party and United Future.
The prime minister of Australia is chosen by a majority of the members of the house of representative's. The members of the house of representatives get there by being voted for by the general population.
