That's an interesting interpretation.
EDIT: Since Australia has had a federal government (independant of the Queen in all but name) since 1901. And fairly regular democratic elections for all an sundry (I'm not counting suffragettes and all the other pinko lefties that got the vote later) since then.

I don't think you'll find many Aussies
who say that as a good thing.

Double dissolutions aside, when there is a vote of no confidence in a government then we should go to the polls - not simply have the opposition transplanted as government because the reigning monarch thousands of miles away said so.
