Like every good government policy, it'll depend on who's marking it!
But I'd give you 15 cos I think it was 1788, I don't know the first prime minister so I can't give you a mark for it, and I think there are 5 states (QLD, NSW, VIC, WA, TAS - ACT and NT are territories not states)Cheers, Richard

Wongo,
I believe the first fleet was in 1788 (high school was a long time ago). We have 6 states: Qld, NSW, Vic, Tas, Sa, Wa. The Northern Territory is a territory, not a state. I think you got the rest right, although I'm not 100% sure about the head of state. I think you're right though, the Queen is our head of state and the GG is her local representative.

Bugger, forgot SA! Ok, 6 states. They won't throw me out for that will they? Maybe out of SA...
Cheers, Richard

And from a related Wiki page:
Australia is a constitutional monarchy and a Commonwealth Realm, with Queen Elizabeth II as its reigning monarch since February 6, 1952. As such she is Australia's Sovereign and officially called Queen of Australia. The Australian monarch, besides reigning in Australia, separately serves as monarch for each of fifteen other countries, which are members of the Commonwealth of Nations. This developed from the former colonial relationship of these countries to Britain, but they are now independent and the monarchy of each is legally distinct.
And also:
Contrary to common misconception,[citation needed] Australians do not pay any money to the Queen, either for personal income or to support the royal residences outside of Australia. Only when the Queen is in Australia, or acting abroad as Queen of Australia, does any Australian government support her in the performance of her duties.Cheers, Richard
