Can you become a prime minister at 15?

Thanks for your question. Sorry to disappoint you but you cannot become Prime Minister at the age of 15. There is no set minimum age for being Prime Minister, however the minimum age to be a member of the House of Representatives is 18, and the Prime Minister is always a member of the House of Representatives.
