  • Australians do not vote for a Prime Minister, we vote for a political party which nominates its Prime Minister in the event of an election victory.

    By convention parties nominate the PM before and promote them during the campaign. PMs can however be chucked out by their own party without a vote by the public, as happened with Kevin Rudd.

    PMs do not simply have a carte blanche “mandate” to implement their election promises and must follow all parliamentary process.
