Best Answer

Prime ministers are appointed by their party, a President is popularly elected. The Prime minister and president both have to rely on the legislative system to make laws, but the resident has right of veto.They are in different parties so it is a different system of government. For Australia to have a president they have to break away from England and be a Republic.

Normally yes, a president would be a head of state and while a prime minister is head of government (a person able to command the votes of a legislature). The US democracy has conflated these two roles which means that on occasions the "prime minister role" is occupied by a president who can not command votes in the legislature - a situation the US called "gridlock".

In some ways. The prime minister is the head of government but not the head of state. Most prime ministers are elected by parliaments and represent that parliament rather than the people.

A President (or King, Queen) formally appoints a prime minister, so is "higher". A prime minister might have more power.
