In light of Q post regarding who AUS is really controlled by:
From 11/5/17 Q post 1st question was:
Who is the Queen of England?
A: Elizabeth II is Queen of the United Kingdom & reigns over Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as Head of State! Additionally, she is Head of the Commonwealth of 12 countries that have become independent since her accession: Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis Other countries Queen Elizabeth II has reigned over include: Pakistan1952–1956 South Africa1952–1961 Ceylon1952–1972 Ghana1957–1960 Nigeria1960–1963 Sierra Leone1961–1971 Tanganyika1961–1962 Trinidad and Tobago1962–1976 Uganda1962–1963 Kenya1963–1964 Malawi1964–1966 Malta1964–1974 The Gambia1965–1970 Guyana1966–1970 Mauritius1968–1992 Fiji1970–1987
The Queen appoints a Governor General to act on her behalf in Australia! That same Governor General in turn appoints the Prime Minister! The Queen has the power to fire the entire Australian government!
People mistake the Queen for only being a figurehead in England quite often! In actuality, SHE is quite powerful! She's the only one with the power to declare war on another country! SHE can pardon people, she can have people arrested & seize their property, she however is immune to any prosecution, she doesn't need a passport to travel yet she controls the issuance & withdrawal of passports, she doesnt even need a license to drive & is exempt from FOIA requests! SHE is in charge of appointing & removing Prime Ministers & Ministers, a bill from parliament cannot even become a law without her approval, she has the power to suspend/summon parliament, she has the power to make someone a lord so that they can have a seat in the upper house of parliament, heck she could dissolve all of parliament, forcing current members out & calling for a new election! ALL of Britain's military forces are commanded by her, she is indeed the commander in chief & ALL swear an oath to serve her, ergo Her Majestys Service, SHE has the power to commission officers & remove commissions! She's the head of a religion, The Church of England, thus can appoint Bishops & Archbishops! She has the power to declare a state of emergency, that which the U.S. calls martial law & call up forces necessary for that purpose! She even controls the regulation of coinage via the Royal mint & it's design in the UK! I would say that's a far cry from just a figurehead!
Queen Elizabeth the second is not the most powerful woman in Britian but the World! She is the Commander in Chief of all her Realms, in NZ, Aus, Ca they swear allegiance to the Queen, not the Government or the people. So All armed forces, police, fireman, Air force, Navy and other government officials are under her command atop her reign in the UK! She may not have exercised this authority but she has the power.>>257932
