one is correct
My apologies for the mistake. The correct answer is: They both are parliamentary monarchies.
To determine which statement is correct, we can analyze the political systems of Australia and Papua New Guinea.
Australia is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. It has a parliamentary system where the Prime Minister is the head of government, and a monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth II) is the head of state. Therefore, Australia cannot be categorized as a presidential republic, a dictatorship, or a flawed democracy.
On the other hand, Papua New Guinea is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy as well. Similar to Australia, it has a parliamentary system where the Prime Minister is the head of government, and a monarch (also Queen Elizabeth II) is the head of state. Hence, Papua New Guinea cannot be considered a presidential republic, a dictatorship, or a flawed democracy either.
Thus, the correct answer is neither (1) They both are under a dictator nor (3) They both are presidential republics. The accurate statement is (7) They both are parliamentary monarchies.
