He is really
He is the head of State.

As we embrace globalism every country is multicultural now.
Sorry you Aussies, no points for that… 
I wasnt aware we were claiming any points 
just pointing out your claim of British or descendants of them remain in charge is hardly accurate.
yes we know that.
We also know it is a very figure head position - the King has no power to do anything about the issues Lidia raised - or any other issues in Australia.
The King appoints the Govn General.
Who has the power over you lot.
Remember 1975.
What is the role of the King in Australia’s system of government? - Parliamentary Education Office
The 1975 Australian constitutional crisis , also known simply as the Dismissal , culminated on 11 November 1975 with the dismissal from office of the prime minister, Gough Whitlam of the Australian Labor Party (ALP), by Sir John Kerr, the Governor-General who then commissioned the leader of the Opposition, Malcolm Fraser of the Liberal Party, as prime minister to hold a new election. It has been described as the greatest political and constitutional crisis in Australian history.
As usual only half the story - that cannot happen again.
The Dismissal was caused by the Queensland government appointing a Senator to the upper house NOT from the party of the Senator that retired/resigned which changed the balance of the Senate. An act of bastardry by the crooked Queensland Premier Jo Bjelke-Petersen (long gone thank gawd)
In 1977 a referendum was held to require the state Parliament to appoint a replacement Senator to the Federal Parliament from the same party as the retiring/resigning Senator. Section 15 of the Constitution was amended when the referendum passed.

Proof of the pudding:
Lidia Thorpe was appointed by the Victorian Government as a Greens candidate to replace a retiring Greens Senator.
In theory, yes.
1975 is almost half a century ago and as Bruce points out, not events that can repeat again.
I would prefer us to be a republic without even a monarchy figurehead but i recognise there is not collective impetus for that to happen in the foreseeable future.
My point remains that the king has no power to address the issues Lidia is concerned about so the kings visit is the wrong platform to air them on.
…also the King doesn’t select the GG, he is selected by the government, technically the King might have to approve the appointment but it would be a brave king to refuse the selection.
The major difference is that the Australian king never gets to prance about in a gaudy uniform at the head of his army showing the nation who really is in charge.
In 1975 they were appoint by the Monach
Still are
If you bothered to read the Wikipedia page you quoted you would know that what I said is the case.
I quote:
When a new governor-general is to be appointed, the current prime minister recommends a name to the monarch, who by convention accepts that recommendation
