Australia is not a republic because it has a monarch as its head. Australia is a constitutional monarchy, parliamentary democracy, and a federation. Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of Australia and of 15 other countries (including, but not limited to: the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Jamaica, etc). Australia was originally modelled after the British system, having been founded by the British. After almost 100 years of being a federation, the question was put to the Australian public. The issue of whether Australia should be a republic was addressed in a referendum in 1999, in which Australians voted against becoming a republic.
Australia's last referendum was on 6 November 1999. It was held to determine whether or not Australia should become a republic. All six states voted against the proposal, with the "no" votes leading 54.87% to 45.13%.
