It is a democratic country & is run by the people.Our Prime Minister is Kevin Rudd & he represents the Labor party.

Queen Elizabeth 2 of England is also Queen of Australia. She is the Head of State of Australia. Australians do not vote for her, because a queen or king gets that position from the king or queen before them, usually their parents or other relative.

The Queen lives in England, not Australia. The Governor-General does the job for her when she is not here.

The Head of State does not run the country, but has other jobs to do, such as sign a law to make it official, signing the paper that begins an election and being commander in chief of the army, navy and air force.
