Under our Westminster system of parliamentary democracy, the Prime Minister is elected by the House of Representatives. And, of course, given the Liberal National Party won the last election, and that we are part of a strong coalition, the leader of the Liberal Party holds the office of Prime Minister, and the leader of the parliamentary Liberal Party is the Hon. Scott Morrison, the member for Cook.
