Administration
The head of state is the British monarch, represented by a governor general who has nominal and rarely-used powers.
The 60-member House of Representatives, which is responsible for legislation, is elected every five years by universal suffrage. An upper house, the Senate, has 21 appointees to ratify legislation.
