Does the Queen of England rule over Australia in any political activities?
Rishabhskumar
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.

Does the Queen of Australia choose the people to form the parliament?
There is no "Queen of Australia".The Queen in England is queen over the countries in the Commonwealth, but she has no say or even the right to interfere in any matters of politics. Since Australia's complete independence (which many would argue has not taken place, but certainly has constitutionally), the Queen has no official right to any say in any political matters. She truly is just a figurehead.So, no - she does not choose the people to form the Parliament. The Parliamentarians are chosen in elections, in which the Australian people vote for candidates selected by the political parties being represented.The Queen of England is our constitutional Head of State as a figurehead (as stated above) but she does have the title "Queen of Australia" for being in that position. Just a technicality.
