The Prime Minister of Baustralia (informally abbreviated to PM) is the head of government of Baustralia. The Prime Minister directs both the executive and the legislature, and together with their Cabinet (consisting of all the most senior ministers, most of whom are government department heads) are collectively accountable for their policies and actions to the Monarch, to Parliament, to their political party and ultimately to the electorate. The office of Prime Minister is one of the Great Offices of State. The Prime Minister is ex officio also Lord High Treasurer. The current holder of the office, The Sir Oliver Doig, leader of the Conservative Party, was appointed by the King on 28 November 2023.

Authority

The Prime Minister is the chair of the Cabinet (the Executive) and is the Head of His Royal Government. The Prime Minister also commands the political party in power, usually holding a majority in the House of Commons, Baustralia's lower house in the legislature. The Prime Minister acts as the voice for the government, and in some cases for His Majesty, both at home and out-of-country. Also as head of the executive, the Prime Minister dismisses and appoints all cabinet members, as well as organizes policies and activities to enact the legislative agenda of the party.

Foundation

The position of Prime Minister was never formed officially, referenced only once in the current constitution when the Dukedom of Cascadia was formed making the first Prime Minister a duke. Therefore, the office of the Prime Minister is founded on custom solely. Similarly, the office of Prime Minister was never formed in the first constitution with the only reference being that the Prime Minister must say an oath of office.

Infancy

The current state of the office of Prime Minister is considered by Baustralian historians as in its infancy where the office is uncodified and based on custom alone. No bill has ever been produced laying out the office of the Prime Minister. It was formed at the request of the King on 2 July 2017 when the duties of Baustralia became too great for him alone, along with other responsibilities, electing to form a Parliament with ministers.

The office was referenced later in the Fixed Terms Election Act, changing the terms from a four-year term to a one-year term by convention. The Prime Minister's term is still at His Majesty's Pleasure. The Prime Minister can also not serve for more than four consecutive terms, however, as before it is by convention and not by law.
