how are the governments of australia and the pacific islands similar? how are they different?

( explain in your own words and don't make it complicated)

The Pacific Islands region is a unique part of Australia's neighborhood and we intend to give the region the recognition it deserves. The need for this recognition was a key factor in my determination to have the Minister for Foreign Affairs, rather than a junior Minister, represent Australia in the region and  that responsibility during the Government's second term.  

I think that the difference Australia is a federation. Its power is conferred upon the federal government by the states, which there are 6. New Zealand on the other hand is a unitary state. Its power is held by a central government which is conferred upon local regions by the central government.
