It is the same as that in Canada. They are a state within the Commonwealth. The head of Government is The Prime Minister, John Howard and he is head of a party that has the most seats in Parliament. The Governor General represents the Queen.The term is 4 years and then an election must be called. It is a democracy based on human rights and freedom.

The politics of Australia take place within the framework of parliamentary democracy. The government of Australia is a federation in the context of a constitutional monarchy, and Australians elect state and territory legislatures as well as a bicameral Parliament of Australia based on the Westminster System.
