Answer:

Citizens elect representatives to the legislature

Step-by-step explanation:

In Australia the citizens will elect senators 'Commonwealth Parliament' to represent each state and the Members of Parliament for the House of Representatives. The prime minister is not chosen by citizen's direct votes, they are chosen indirectly by the senators and House of Representatives. While the monarchy is not elected by citizen's votes, it is a form of heritage.
