Does the Queen of England rule over Australia in any political activities?
The Queen has very little actual power over Australia. Her representative in Australia, the Governor-General, has more power - but her role is mostly ceremonial. The Governor-General plays a symbolic role, representing the authority (provided by the Queen) for the government to rule. The Governor-General has the power to summon parliament, call elections and appoint the Prime Minister (the Governor-General has a responsibility to appoint the person most likely to maintain the support of the House of Representatives). They also appoint other officials, such as High Court Justices. Therefore the Queen, through the Governor-General, does have some power over Australia - but most of this is symbolic.

What was the role of the head of state in the Elizabethan era?
The Head of State that is, the King (or in this era: the Queen) was in modern terms the highest executive and judicial figure in the land with near-absolute power. In her day, Parliament met only intermittently and it could be sent home and simply be not convened for considerable periods if it in some way incurred the Queen's displeasure. Its main power derived from the fact that it had budgetary powers which it could invoke when the regular existing taxes were insufficient for the Queen's needs at any point. The Queen had ministers, but these were answerable to her, not to Parliament.

No. In the United Kingdom, the Prime Minister does not have veto power over any legislation passed by Parliament.
