It's probably more to do with the upper house of your parliament being 
unelected. Australia still has the British Queen as our most senior 
executive through the Governer General, but here (and I suspect also in 
Britain) the Royal Family are more or less figure heads now and hold no 
real power. 
The House of Lords on the other hand actually do have some legislative 
sway.
