 British ministers have no constitutional authority to advise the Queen on any matter related to the Australian states.There is debate as to whether the actions of the Australian states have in effect made Queen Elizabeth their direct monarch the same way she is Queen of Australia, effectively making her the Queen of New South Wales, of Victoria, of Tasmania, of South Australia, of Western Australia, and also the Queen of Queensland.In the 1970s more Australians began to seriously reconsider Australia's constitutional framework.
