Best Answer

Australia is a constitutional monarchy and therefore does not have a president. we have a prime minister that fulfils the duties of leader of the government and a Governor general that is appointed by the government that represents our titular head of state the Queen of Great Britain. The beauty of this system is that the leader of the country is on the other side of the world and has absolutely no say about what goes on in Australia and any constitutional matters are settled by the governor general in accordance with the constitution of Australia.
