Governments of Australia
 | This article is incomplete. |
The Government of Australia is the executive branch headed by the Prime Minister of Australia (in-game President). The Prime Minister of Australia can delegate the Deputy Prime Minister to be the head of Government. After his/her election, the Prime Minister decides what ministries should exist and their names.
The role of the Government is to exercise "general leadership of the public administration", elaborate strategies to implement the government platform, negotiate international treaties, etc. The Government of Australia represents the state of Australia both internally and externally and presents information to the citizens of Australia.
The Government answers exclusively to Congress of Australia (Senate), and in extreme cases, may vote a motion of removal of the President, withdrawing its confidence and forcing the Government to resign.
