Australia has enough tanks. In case the Queen want to dissolve the government they can just tweet "Nah" and continue as usual. What is the United Kingdom going to do? Invade? Ask Canada and New Zeeland to make a joint force?

(Officially breaking will cause some problems, so it depends a lot on the internal situation and how much popular support the government has.)

That’s just incorrect, Australia isn’t a proper legal country and those tanks belong to the Crown, ultimately.
Possession is nine-tenths of the law. If Australians ignore the request of the Queen and also steal the tanks, what is the Crown going to do? Invade?
Careful. Us Canucks can be a right violent people with a stick in our hands. Especially in the corner…
