Very, very fairly. Especially with the new prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.
Despite what some people may think, Australia has never had a dictator. Since Federation, we have been a Constitutional Monarchy with regular democratic elections.

nations like Canada and Australia were once ruled by governors appointed by the king or queen of England. As colonies developed and matured, constitutions were written to allow local people to make their own laws and have elections. If a nation continues to have a king/queen as the sovereign, then that nation is a constitutional monarchy.
Not particularly, given how the constitution and the monarchy are arranged. The people get their democracy and enough independence to be happy, while the government retains strong international ties and the benefits derived from that.
There is nothing bad about a Monarchy provided that it is a Constitutional Monarchy, ie, the country is run by democratically elected people and not the reigning monarch. All European monarchies are Constitutional Monarchies.
Constitutional Monarchy
Yes they do, constitutional monarchy runs elections which lets people to get to vote. Every legal citizen has a right to say.
It is a constitutional monarchy and it is a parliamentary democracy, as people elect their political leaders.
The Glorious Revolution helped to establish a constitutional monarchy and a bill of rights because the English parliament and people knew they would not be able to establish a constitutional monarchy with James II. Therefore they invited William and Mary to overthrow James II on the condition they accept a constitutional monarchy.
The mian kinds are Absolute monarchy and Constitutional Monarchy. With an absolute monarchy, there is one spreme ruler who controls all of the land and the people with no higer form of government above with. With a constitutional monarchy, There is a ruler who is the leader of a government but does not have supreme power. (does not control everything but is still a part of the government)
No, it has never been a dictatorship. Australia is a Constitutional Monarchy where the head of state is the Queen represented by the Governor General. Australia also is a democracy as the people have a choice of electing representatives that they find are worth of becoming ministers (a minister is a government elected person who is in charge of a specific government portfolio). Australia also is a federation, which means that its states are united under one national government. New South Wales and Victoria were the first colonies to do this as they became self law making bodies. They found it was easier to control trade, defence and transport.
Oh, dude, in a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution, so technically they don't have much say in how the country is run. It's more like they're there for show, like a fancy ornament on a cake. So yeah, people in a constitutional monarchy have some say, but the real power lies with the elected government.
