Welcome to the club Australia! Now it’s time to get to work and put measures in place to prevent what’s happening in the US from happening in our countries.
We are lucky enough to have the royals as a check and balance. The moment an authoritarian party gets into power the Governor/Queen can and has previously booted the ruling Government out. (See Prime Minister Menzies controversy)

Could you expand on that please ? I assume you’re not referencing Gough Whitlam’s dismissal by the GG at the behest of the CIA ?
I’ve had a quick search and can’t find anything pointing to conflict between Menzies and the Crown, nor anything suggesting the monarch or the GG booted him out. Could be a searching failure on my part of course so info appreciated

So true. But the more roadblocks the better. Just to be safe.
