Question

How are the governments of Australia and the Pacific islands similar? How are they different?  (4 points) Write it in 4-5 sentences

Answer 1

Both the governments of Australia and the Pacific islands are parliamentary democracies, with a Prime Minister as the head of government. They both have a bicameral system, with a national parliament and a senate or upper house. However, Australia is a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as the head of state, whereas the Pacific islands are mostly independent nations with their own head of state. Additionally, Australia has a much larger economy and population compared to the Pacific islands, leading to differences in governance and public policy priorities.
