Should Australia become a republic?

Yeah I think we can trust you to look after yourself by now.

Why, thank you.

Seriously though, what actual power does she have? None. So what difference will it make?

See post.

My answer is yes though, go for it. Elections are fun!?!?!?

I wouldn't say they're fun per-se, but necesarry in this case.

Actually, she  still holds "powers", including being able to disallow any law we pass within a year – which, fortunately by convention she declines to exercise.

The Queen also still appoints and dismisses her Australian representative, the Governor General — though she does this on the advice of the Australian prime minister, also by convention.
