Australia is a constitutional monarchy, with Britain's Queen Elizabeth as head of state. The role is largely ceremonial, but the monarch does have the power to dissolve parliament, as in 1975, when Queen Elizabeth sacked the government. In 1999 a referendum to end the monarchy was defeated by voters 55%-45%.

Remain a monarchy but choose an aboriginal royal family instead of British

Ask the original landowners...

Not until a generally accepted model is produced to make sure we do not leave open the possibility of a Trump type anomaly
@4W35W4N4yrs4Y
Yes, but not with an American-style elected head of state.
@4W36N2D4yrs4Y
Once the Queen passes, with an aboriginal as our first sovereign

Not ready still immature population to deal with an Republic,besides all states should be dissolved, as well as all amateur councils .Creation of one national government with say 50 regional councils run by professionals rather than pathetic states having petty fights and crummy councils out of control.
In fact Councils do not exist under the Constitution.

Australia, Canada and New Zealand should form our own kingdom.
