  • Does the King have any power? What does the Monarchy do in Australia? Why is King Charles III Australia's King and does that mean he has a say in our laws? Well, let's explore the constitutional role and powers of the Monarch and their representatives - the Governor General and Governors - and how that has evolved over time. There are indeed royal powers - some are used regularly, some haven't been touched in decades, and some exist on paper but have not and likely never will be used. In this episode I'll explore the history of the power and influence of the King/Queen of Australia and how that's changed over the past 200 years to how it is now.

    Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the video was filmed and edited on. This Land was stolen and never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.

    And in both those dismissals the Queens rep was acting in the interests of foreign powers, not in the interests of Australia.

      Why would you want a Brit as your Head of State as opposed to a democratically elected AUSTRALIAN?

    When Australia is no longer an effective monarchy, only an affective appearance of respect for our "betters", it will look exactly the same in operation as the world wide oligarchy does now(?).

    I respect your freedom of belief, but you don't support it with lawful constitutional law, do you even know the constitutional oath and who was the last one to take this oath?

      Oath
      I, A.B., do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law. SO HELP ME GOD!
      Affirmation
      I, A.B., do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law.
      (NOTE - The name of the King or Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the time being is to be substituted from time to time.)
