Basically, the monarchy is now irrelevant in Australia. It's only value is historical. It plays no useful modern role.

If the family didnโ€™t supply the head of state here I would care a whole lot less too.

Nominally, our head of state is the royal family. Actually, Australians would rather they weren't๐Ÿ™„

Absolutely agreed. There seems to be no political will to change it though.

No, there isn't really. As long as the Brits keep their nose out of our business, they are almost irrelevant ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I understand your view and youโ€™re not wrong. If the family didnโ€™t supply the head of state here I would care a whole lot less too.
