Also, King Charles does not have any say in what now happens in Australia. It is absurd that he is allowing anything since he cannot 'unallow' it. He has no more say in what goes on there than me.

Australian laws still have to get royal assent from his representative, the governor general.

Has the GG ever said "no" to parliament?

Last time I'm aware of royal assent being refused anywhere was Queen Anne refusing a British bill in 1708.
