Australia also hasthe benefit of a parliamentary system, under which the voters can be convoked to condemn an asshole PM who created a terrible situation -- and rid themselves of him without waiting for the next scheduled election.
Clearly, the voting public cannot be trusted NOT to give power to proven idiots, as we unfortunately witnessed in 2016.
Not just the voters but parliament as well. And in extreme scenarios, the governor-general can dismiss a sitting PM (as in 1975, but that was a corrupted dismissal)
