What is the Australian government?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Australian Government is the party within the Lower House of Parliament with the majority of seats held. The government that holds the most seats nation wide becomes the 'Government of the day'. This, however, does not mean that they can pass what ever legislation they wish as they must also hold majority seats in the senate also (which is not usually the case). For Example - The Rudd government (although not very compitent) was elected they were The Government whilst Brendan Nelson at the time was the opposition leader.

The elected governmnet will have a cabinet made up of ministers that may be form the House of Representatives, or the Senate.

There is just one country in Australia. Australia is the name of both the continent and the country.

Being a constitutional monarchy, Australia does not have a president. The leader of the government is the Prime Minister who, in 2012, is Julia Gillard.

How did john howard become prime minister?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because Australia is a democracy, his party (the Liberal Party of Australia) held the greatest number of federal seats in the House of Representatives. Because the party had elected him as their leader, he then became the Prime Minister.

Although Howard lost the 2007 election, before that he was seen as a shrewd, safe pair of hands with many years of experience both in power and in opposition. He reflected a large section of Australian public opinion.
