Government of Australia

The Government of Australia is the organization responsible for making and enforcing laws, managing public services, and representing the country nationally and internationally. It is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy, meaning the monarch (currently the King) is the ceremonial head of state, while elected officials in Parliament govern day-to-day affairs. The government is divided into three branches: the Executive (Prime Minister and Cabinet), the Legislature (Parliament), and the Judiciary (courts). People elect representatives to Parliament, ensuring the government reflects the will of the citizens and maintains the rule of law.
