Australian Federal Government

The Australian Federal Government is the national governing body responsible for making laws and policies for the entire country. It is structured into three branches: the Parliament (which makes laws), the Executive (led by the Prime Minister, who enforces laws), and the Judiciary (which interprets laws). Australia is a federation, meaning it consists of states and territories that have their own governments but must also adhere to federal laws. The government focuses on issues like health, education, and immigration, and its decisions impact all Australians. It operates from Canberra, the capital city.
