No. England lost it in the war against Antarctica, but Antarctica didn't really want it because Australia was just a penal colony full of England's worst people, so Thomas Jefferson purchased it. During the civil war, Robert E Lee sold it to New Zealand to raise money, and then New Zealand ruled until the Falkland war, when it became a territory of Argentina. During the Vietnam conflict, Ho Chi Minh worked out a deal with the French and Argentina to use the Northern Territories for military purposes, setting up air strips and ports and troop bases from which to launch strikes against the US in South Vietnam. Eventually, the US took control of Australia in a series of battles, set up a US backed government with the native Australians in charge, but the US pulled out all personnel when the Vietnam war ended, the Aussies fought and defeated the people in power and won their independence.
Aussies, back me up in this.

The short, easy answer is because the two different colonies were settled for two very different reasons. The Americas were settled by disenchanted members of society looking for new and better opportunities. These people were subsequently "lorded" over by Britain and they quickly rebelled. Australia was initially used as a penal colony so had a larger military presence. The first colonists (other than "freed" prisoners, were generally well of gentry who had a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Australian settlers who moved away from the more controlled parts of the colony learnt to make do and survive in an environment often MUCH harsher than that of the United States. These people developed their own unique outlook on life and culture :) G'day mate.

Clause 8 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, 1900 specifies that the Commonwealth of Australia is a self-governing colony. Australia's Queen is appointed by the Westminster parliament. In any event, it doesn't matter what 'road scholars' think because the Chinese know and have been successfully using the information for years to get exactly what they want from the government of Australia and its peoples.

Legally no! Not since 1901.
Culturally, yes....but less so with the passing of time and the broadening diversity of Australia's multicultural population.
Politically, Australia and England share the same Head of State (currently Queens Elizabeth II), but convention requires that she act only as 'advised' (in reality 'instructed') by the Prime Minister of Australia.

The Queen, and her official representatives, still have some power. There was a case in 1975 when the Governor-General of Australia, used the powers he had by virtue of being the Queens representative, to sack the Australian government and call an election.

NO.
Australia is a constitutional democratic, federal monarchy.
They have a written constitution unlike the UK.
They are democratic - They elect their representatives to parliament and their prime minister.
They have a federal system: They have many self governing states and territories. (Every state and territory has it's own parliament.)
They are a monarchy - They have chosen to have the King/Queen of England to be their King or Queen. (Written in their constitution)
Their government setup is very similar to that of Canada.
