Yes, that appears to be mostly similar to Australia, save that we have 7 separate crowns, so each state has its own Governor, not just Lieutenant-Governor. Appointments are similarly made by the Governor, on the advice of the Cabinet.
That's interesting. I guess I just assumed that as a federation, and one with more devolved powers at that, Canadian provinces all were separate crowns too. But then that might be awkward because of Quebec?
Also: I just recently realised the ACT doesn't have anyone serving a Governor role, like how the NT has an administrator to appoint and dismiss governments and give royal assent to bills and whatnot. That makes the ACT Legislative Assembly the only parliament in the country which dissolves itself and certifies its own legislation. Which I think is pretty neat.
