How their governments are structured
Australia runs as a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy — that sets how the executive gets its authority and what the legislature can do about it.
Legislative power and representation
Australia's national legislature is the Parliament (House of Representatives and Senate). Legislative structure — number of chambers, who elects them, what powers they hold — sets the limits of what an executive can actually do.

Australia's political capital is Canberra, while Dominica is governed from Roseau. With a population of approximately 27 million, Australia faces a different scale of governance challenge compared to Dominica's 75k.
