With nation of a commenwealth, basically we are still under the country of the British nation when your are a dominion. However if a said country vote to be independent of the mother country, they have the right (in this day and age) to vote and become their own country and control themselves but still be connected with the mother country, which is what Australia is, we have the Union Jack on our Flag as well as the commenwaelth star, when you become independant such as Australia you a no longer supplied by Britain with resources and supplies but instead have to trade with the Britsh for anything that is needed..
Every few years or so there is a vote here as to whether to change the current setup and become completely independant from Britain. With our oen Flag with the Union Jack and the commenwealth Star, but so far the change has been declined by the public.
The Australian forces were allowed to control their own troops, initaitiing there own training, organising their own supplies and even now being allowed to 'sit in' with Battle organisations and battle planning, they were how ever still under the British control, but with their own countymen in charge at Regiment level, and later in the war the Australian were allowed to have their own division commander.
