With the ARM models, the monarch and Crown are abolished, and the Governor-General is promoted to head of state, similar to how Ireland transformed into a republic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ARM models leave many question marks and do not adequately think through the transition to a republic. The job is half done, with a half-baked republic being the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Structure_of_ChoiceModel.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Structure_of_ChoiceModel-1024x775.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Structure_of_ChoiceModel-1024x775.png 1024w, https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Structure_of_ChoiceModel-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Structure_of_ChoiceModel-768x581.png 768w, https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Structure_of_ChoiceModel-1536x1162.png 1536w, https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Structure_of_ChoiceModel-2048x1549.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Structure_of_ChoiceModel.png\">https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Structure_of_ChoiceModel.png<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/7gs.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/structure.png The diagram above shows the Legislative Branch of the Australian Federation.It includes the monarch as head of state, the Crown of Australia, the representatives of the head of state, and the parliaments.
