The Queen plays no part in Australian politics
There is a viceroy that acts on behalf of the Queen but just like the Queen in the UK, they don't really do anything. The only time the Governor General has ever done anything was in 1975 and It's still a touchy subject
Australia has been functionally independent from the UK since 1901 but the Australia Acts in 1986 completely eliminated all remaining legal vestiges of connection to the UK Government

I'm not saying its oppressive. Brits don't feel oppressed they are happy to say stuff like ""God save the Queen"" etc. I am saying its humiliating and not genuine freedom to have a foreign monarch rule you.
>>51872677
Yet your Queen is still the British queen and your flag is still hybrid with British flag. IIRC you even put her face on your money. She still has an ultimate veto and its only from her benevolence you've seen "minimal interference".
You can't tell me you are free. That's not freedom. Don't confuse our spirit with yours. We will never ever have a Queen on our money or some viceroy on behalf of the Queen. We fought for a Republic and that is something someone who has only ever lived under monarchy will ever understand.

No, the Governor General does

Hell even the idea of waiting around until your benevolent monarch gives you your """independence""" is just so laughable.
USA: "Give me liberty or give me death!!! No I am not waiting around, I will fight for my freedom and no redcoat will stand in my way"
Commonweathers: "Give me some added independence, whenever you are ready for it, oh benevolent monarch, I don't mind having me and my children wait a few centuries...oh no not REAL independence, maybe just my own parliament or something that way me and my children and my grandchildren etc. can continue to salute the Queen"
And some Australians still think the 2nd option is the "cool" one. What a joke.

Most of those stupid rankings are made by anti-Americans with an axe to grind, there's nothing remotely democratic about a monarchy sorry.
Also the ""Governor General"" is appointed by, and required to swear allegiance to, the Queen. Yeah that's real freedom there.

That's not democratic though. Ultimately the Queen is just a random British grandma who happened to come out of the right vagina at the right time. Why should she have any power at all? Even soft power.
Until you remove the monarchy altogether you'll never know what it like to feel truly independent and free. You'll always feel like some British spinoff.

I wonder what would happen if someone went to the British isles and took as many Brits out as possible and if arrested the assailant would ask the peace treaty.
Yes yes, I know he would be treated as a war criminal, but what if he targeted army personnel?
I mean, they were the ones who declared war on us in the first place.
>>51873445
they could target LEO and military. then they couldn't even call him a war criminal, as long as he himself was in uniform.

Right. Their only purpose was to die for the crown because Lord Kitchener refused to issue an evacuation, seeing how it would negatively influence opinion of the British military in Muslim colonies.
