Interesting. However, all laws must pass through
the governor general
who is the Queen's representative.
He is only the Queen's representative in a very limited way, as set
out in the Constitution. His constitutional powers, including the
reserve powers, are given to him in his own right. Unlike other
Commonwealth realms, such as New Zealand or Canada, where the
Governor-General merely exercises the Queen's powers.
Also, a republic is a "a form of government
whose head of state is not a
monarch; "the head of state in a republic is usually a president".
Despite what you've said, our head of state is the Queen.
And it says that where...?
