The Australian legal system is built on the principle that everyone is equal before the law. The citizenship test checks whether you understand this principle and how it is upheld through the court system, police, and other institutions.
Think about the constitutional principle at the heart of this question. Many government and law questions can be answered by understanding the fundamental rules set out in the Australian Constitution. This question is at a moderate difficulty level, similar to what you can expect on the actual citizenship test. Understanding the reasoning behind the answer is key.
Study the concept of "the rule of law" as it applies to government. In Australia, even the government must follow the law. No person, including the Prime Minister, is above the legal system.
