What is the difference between totalitarian and democratic government in Austrlia?

I have a question and its hard to find answers for .. What are the Actual differences between Totalitarian and Democratic government in Australia??


I don't think they have any totalitarianism there.

People do get to vote and they don't get shot for disagreeing with the government.

So I have no idea what this question means.

In a totalitarian government, there is one party rule, one government, no elections, no submitting and conforming politicians ambitions to try to win public favour, no fair trials, no appeals when there is miscarriage of justice, no dissent, no free speach, no personal rights or liberties, and things like religion and philosophy are considered threat to the government's absolute control, and everyone has to suck up to the government, believe every bit of propaganda and false information they feed to the public.

I imagine Australia has much better conditions than that, personal freedoms, government officials trying to please the public or else they won't get elected to power, freedom of speech and opinion, etc...
