"Ruling" is a bit of a stretch, we actually have very little to do with Britain any more. We just technically come under the monarchy and are part of the commonwealth.

Also we had a referendum about becoming an independent nation a few years ago. It got voted down by the people of Aus so here we are. Changing the constitution in a referendum requires a 66% vote or higher in favour so there was very little chance it was ever going to pass.

Plus we get to celebrate the queens bday public holiday still [thumbup].

As for what she does, a lot of charity work so i here. Day to day i have no idea, probably very little.
