The Governor General is responsible for all the queens duties and acts on her behalf. And unless requested by the GG, The queen has nothing to do with Governing Australia.

Out of interest, where you taught at school about the GG firing the Whitlam government after a constitutional crisis in 1975?

Nope, I was told my by uncle when I was younger that the queen fired one of our Prime Ministers, but was not told why.

So what are the duties of the GG. My gf kept saying that the GG's duties is to pass on information to the queen to get her approval or something. She never mentioned anything about the GG actually doing the queens duties.
