How is Australia Governed?

By a council of elders
Through a military dictatorship
By the Australian government
By a council of farmers

The correct answer is: By the Australian government

Australia is a democratic federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. This means that it is governed through a democratic system, with a parliament composed of elected representatives, a constitution that outlines the powers and responsibilities of the government, and a monarch as the symbolic head of state. Option A is incorrect because while Australia values the input of its elders, they do not hold a specific council of power. Option B is incorrect because Australia does not have a military dictatorship; it is a democratic country. Option D is incorrect because while farmers have a significant role in the Australian economy, they do not hold a council of power or govern the country.
