Sorry, what queen are you asking about?In any case, this is a photo of the Queen of Australia:Actually, she looks a bit older than I thought she was. All our coins have an impression of our Queen on one side of the coin.An Australian Oath of loyality and Office is to our Australian Queen.The Australian Head of State is the Australian Queen.No matter what laws our politicians pass in Parliament, it does not become law till it has Royal Assent …. the approval of the Queen.But we don't have a ‘live in’ Queen, she only ever rarely comes to Australia and if she does then it is only for a short visit. In her absence she has a representative who is the Governor General for the Commonwealth of Australia and each State has a Governor.Actually, what is commonly referred to as Australia is made up of 6 States that have Federated to one overall body called the Commonwealth of Australia and each Parliament it’s very own Queen! Australia is really 6 Kingdoms (States with their own Queen) and the Commonwealth being a common Kingdom (with a Governor General). Each State Governor individually represents the Queen. In effect ‘Australia’, which really does not exist as a legal entity, has 7 Queens. (The word Australia is a commonly used word to describe the Commonwealth of Australia, which is a mouth full and the title is too long for Australians to use. The Commonwealth of Australia is abbreviated simply to the word Australia. The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia does not use the word Australia unless it is preceded with the words ‘Commonwealth of’.)When you refer to the Queen it actually is a reference to the reigning Monarch of the UK, who could be a Queen or a King and that Royal person then becomes the King or Queen of Australia.So do Australians see the Queen as their Queen?Ummm, is the question asking, Do Australians see the Queen of Australia as the Queen of Australia?BNBR.Or is the question asking do Australians see the reigning Monarch of the UK as their Queen?The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia places ‘Australia’ under the control of the Monarch of The UK.“An Act to constitute the Commonwealth of Australia[9th July 1900]WHEREAS the people of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and under the Constitution hereby established:And whereas it is expedient to provide for the admission into the Commonwealth of other Australasian Colonies and possessions of the Queen:Be it therefore enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:”By chance the Queen referred to here is Queen Victoria.The Constitutional oath is:OATHI, A.B., do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law.SO HELP ME GOD!AFFIRMATIONI, A.B., do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law.(NOTE: The name of the King or Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the time being is to be substituted from time to time.)So do Australians see the Monarch of the UK as their Queen?Background:The Monarchy of Australia is a form of government in which a hereditary monarch is the sovereign of Australia according to the rules of the Australian Constitution.This means that the job of King or Queen of Australia passes down through the Royal Family. When the King or Queen dies, the job passes to their son, daughter or next in line to the throne.

Am i missing something? Australia was federated. On the 1 January 1901, the 6 colonies of Australia combined to form the Commonwealth of Australia and the Australian Constitution came in to law.We have 3 levels of government which are the Federal, State and Local.

I literally had this conversation with a Kiwi this week.Me (Aussie): “I just don’t understand why Australia and New Zealand don’t just join up”Ross: “We are actually quite different as countries”Me: Laughing “You’re no different than one of our states is from another”Ross: “that’s the real problem, we would just be a state of Australia.”New Zealand and Australia would make a wonderful partnership. It will never happen.When each of the states of Australia were discussing federations in the 1890′s New Zealand was a major part of that process. New Zealand and Western Australia were both unhappy about the number of seats they would get in Federal Parliament. Cut a long story short, WA negotiated and joined, NZ didn’t.Since that point billions of dollars have been wasted in duplication. That said on the most important things, national defence we have walked arm in arm.So could it ever happen?Cynically, no.The yes / no vote in NZ would be impossible to win. A fear campaign based on Aussies getting their share of votes (population of Au: 25m vs NZ: 4.8m) would be just too easy to win.I truly believe that it would be a wonderful thing. The Kiwis are the nicest people on earth. Our cultures are very similar yet have great things to learn from each other.
