    The declaration reads: "We, the undersigned Premiers and Chief Ministers of Australia, believe that Australia should have an Australian as our Head of State."

    A nations's Head of State is the person who carries out the functions of a Head of State.
    The Governor General and only the Governor General appoints and dismisses the Prime Mininster; the Governor General is the commander in chief of the Australian armed forces; the Crimes (Internationally Protected Persons) Act 1976 states that the Governor General is Australia's Head of State.
    This putch of premiers must surely know all this, and last time I looked, Sir Peter Cosgrove is an Australian.
    Great news! We already "have an Australian as our Head of State"!
